I have added the children's literature project template to this article as this author is considered a major influence on Girls Story writing in the UK in the early 20th century -- Abbeybufo 14:42, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

The article should be self-contained. The links are there for those who want further elaboration or explanation. If the Abbey books, for example, are an essential part of her career as a writer, then they, and the story behind them, should be presented, at least briefly. The main article on the Abbey series itself, then, can elaborate more on the subject. This is not meant to be negative criticism. I think you're doing good work. :-) - Duribald 16:49, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
It looks like you're aiming for an A rating in the end. Keep up the good work! - Duribald 00:45, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
I have recently discovered that a Print On Demand (POD) ‘publisher’ in the US is offering a 26-page ‘book’ called Novels by Elsie J. Oxenham: Abbey Connectors, Abbey Series, Oxenham Non-Connectors (Study Guide) (ISBN: 1156856264) for about $15.00 or the local currency equivalent. This appears to be directly copied from four articles on Wikipedia that are largely my work, and that I put on there for free internet use. When I ‘signed up’ to the Creative Commons Attribution-Sharealike 3.0 Unported License (CC-BY-SA) and the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL), that Wikipedia writers agree to abide by, I did not envisage my altruism stretching so far as other people making a profit from it. It seems that this firm, Books LLC, offer other POD ‘Study Guides’ – which one is forced to conclude may themselves be ‘lifted’ from Wikipedia or other free sources. So along with all the other reasons to be wary of POD titles, comes the fact that people may be being inveigled into parting with their cash for something that is freely available on line Abbeybufo ( talk • contribs) 10:44, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
