This article has been mentioned by a media organization:

Andrew Leonard (17 May 2013). "Revenge, ego and the corruption of Wikipedia". Salon.com. Retrieved 17 May 2013. Two edits stand out. Qworty excised the phrase "and was regarded as a good mentor" from a sentence that started: "Hannah taught creative writing for 28 years at the University of Mississippi, where he was director of its M.F.A. program …" And he changed the cause of Hannah's death from "natural causes" to "alcoholism." But Hannah's obituaries stated that he had died of a heart attack and been clean and sober for years before his death, while his role as a mentor was testified to in numerous memorials. (Another editor later removed the alcoholism edit.)
Taken all together, the edits strongly suggest a focused attempt to diminish Hannah's legacy. But why? Who was Qworty and what axe did he have to grind with Hannah?

Fair use rationale for Image:Yonderstands2.jpg edit

Latest comment: 16 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Image:Yonderstands2.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Qworty & vandalism/revenge edits edit

This entry needs substantial cleaning after it was publicly revealed in an article for Salon that user Qworty promotes his fiction and disparages other authors using his Wikipedia account^[1]. The article notes several references to interviews and articles and related links that Qworty deleted, but also misinformation & libel. The awards section has been readmitted to the entry. Hannah is a Guggenheim fellow, among the recipient of other prominent awards, and these should be noted.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Muddbrixx (talk • contribs) 20:25, 17 May 2013‎

Faulkner award edit

Latest comment: 10 years ago2 comments1 person in discussion

This article claims Hannah won a "Faulkner award" in 1972, however that is impossible. The William Faulkner Foundation was dissolved in 1970 and its heir, the PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction, was not established until 1980. There was no Faulkner organization or award in 1972. If any source makes that claim it is factually wrong. If someone can provide contemporary sources - new york times for example - let's see. But that seems an impossible task since the Faulkner foundation simply didn't exist. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 16:25, 30 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

Apparently it was the William Faulkner Prize by the University of Rennes. Not to be confused with the William Faulkner Award or the PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 16:35, 30 September 2013 (UTC)Reply
