[edit] Mary Bly's name

I noticed that someone had changed her name to Mary Bly Vettori and then changed all references within the article from "Bly" to "Mary." Ms. Bly is married to a man named Vettori, but she is always referred to by her maiden name in articles and on her own website, so it is not appropriate to list her as Mary Vettori here. It is also common practice on wikipedia to refer to subjects in a more proper manner, so I have changed the references back to "Bly." Please discuss here before changing back. Thanks.

[edit] Tone

The tone of this article is not very encyclopedic, so I added the 'magazine' template. For example sentences like "Mary Bly has long been surrounded by people who revere the written word" and "In a twist of irony, Bly has noted that at the same time she made the New York Times bestseller list she also published an academic work which sold 400 copies, delighting Oxford University Press.[3]" and the title "A Third Career?". All the information is solid and cited well but the article seems to me too slanted. Someone knowledgeable on Dr. Bly please fix this article. Scskowron 19:58, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
