Biographical entries ~ specifically regarding Norman Mailer

I am a biological daughter of Norman Mailer. My life has been private for about 46 years, although the family recognized me publically on WBAI radio on the Thanksgiving Sunday after my father's death. There is no link to that interview - and when attempting to show that I am actually his daughter on his wikipedia page people sometimes delete the information.

Norman Mailer had nine biological children. He raised, Matthew, Norris' son, also. I referred to him as informally adopted - and explain why in my comments in the daughter section.

I have written discussion information in the daughter area on that page today...and I have told them again to please at least read it. My purpose is not to vandalize this work - especially because I rarely use it, but sometimes do in other areas. I have found it slightly useful in finding out about my father. The link to the article referencing Norman Mailer saying that he had nine children is removed.

I noticed that there is an area that deals with people who are alive giving biographical information - and that the note that there is some sesitivity to this. I looked and wasn't quite sure whom to speak to within your organization as I received a link for the volunteers...but, I guess I would have to pick one - and I'm not quite sure who to pick - I did look at one of their pages but I couldn't find a link to put my submission for my question.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

On my myspace.com/NormanKingsleyMailer page - I did not reference wikipedia because of this information always changing on the page. (I have noted that the Mailer Society does have a link to it - I don't dismiss the link, I do however, question its content in the biography area.) I have however linked to Brittanica Encyclopedia - as they did not mention - what I consider salacious material - and they didn't even mention his children in their journalistic overview. I will definately consider speaking to Brittanica personally as I begin to promote the book that I am writing - regarding being Norman Mailer's daughter, however...as they may find accuracy a tool in their marketing. (Especially if this wikipedia content is not resolved.)

The link to my wikipedia page did not show up on here, so here it is:

Hi Sharyn,

This wiki is specifically about the long term goals for the Wikimedia movement; we don't deal with individual content disputes. For that, you'll have to take it to that particular wiki. In this case, you might try emailing info-en-qwikimedia.org, the Wikipedia quality volunteer response team.

Best of luck,

I thought that the marketing of wikipedia was a long time goal...Brittanica is convincing me of their marketing, more and more.

Thanks for the link.
