. Please help. There is a notice that someone close to the source may be contributing. I was asked by my publisher to source some recent articles about me and the book on here. They are all factual. It is all neutral.
I was merely footnoting and there are many more sources I could cite to keep the page relevant and up to date. I am being quoted constantly and if I did something wrong by adding these sources, I am sorry but please remove the warning at the top as the entire article is both factual and neutral. There is nothing in it that is hyperbole or self-promotion. In fact, there is so much NOT here because I don't want it to sound over the top. Please remove that warning. Thank you so much. Susan J. Elliott
I was just trying to keep my sources about me and my book and my work (esp my charitable work) relevant. Thank you.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.6.182.89 ( talk • contribs) — 108.6.182.89 ( talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
I looked this author up as I was reading the book and a few articles on this person and then tried to edit a few things but saw it was locked, probably due to the hubbub here, but I suggest which I suggest some of you do who have edited here. Several issues. 1) a person who has passed the bar is an attorney, not a lawyer. She also is licensed in Texas and admitted there since 2003 though inactive as she does not live there any longer. 2) Phi Beta Kappa is an honor organization to which you are elected and are a lifetime member and it includes people such as Bill Clinton and many other notables - it's not a sorority as some editors here seem to think it is. You ARE a member of Phi Beta Kappa and it's an illustrious achievement especially coming from such as background as she did. It's not a membership you ever lose and it's a highly recognized achievement (LOOK IT UP ON WIKIPEDIA) 3) You misspelled her name in at least once instance. 4) My knowledge of this person is an incredible source of help throughout a difficult life including the illness and death of her husband and she started another blog to journal about that so as not to keep her "breakup" readers from feeling as if they could not share on the GPYB blog. From what looks like happened here, it's pretty lame to claim that biographies of living persons must be treated cautiously and then be wrong about this one. After seeing the mistakes in here and what seemed to have been a hubbub, the editors of the page just seem pretty petty. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.138.242.235 ( talk) 08:58, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
It is not nonsense. Please see http://www.legalmatch.com/lawyer-or-attorney-difference.html If you do not know what you are talking about with regard to the legal profession, please refrain. Please cite sources that this is nonsense. I do not understand how Wikipedia "editors" can make such bald assertions such as "nonsense" when there is ample evidence to the contrary. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.56.108.230 ( talk) 11:52, 4 December 2013 (UTC)

Please note the author's name is spelled with two l's and two t's. The name is spelled differently throughout.
Please note the author has four children, not six as the article claims.
Please note the Michael A. DiCarlo Brain Tumor Foundation is a separate entity from the National Brain Tumor Society. Each year the Foundation forms a team to raise funds for the NBTS but they are separate entities and do not have a partnership as indicated in this article.
Please note the author is a member of Phi Beta Kappa, which is the world's most prestigious honor society and once elected, a member remains a member. Even Wikipedia's entry for former President William Clinton states he "was" a member of Phi Beta Kappa. This is indicative of a misunderstanding of Phi Beta Kappa which is an honor bestowed at graduation and continues through life. It is not a fraternity or sorority but rather a lifelong Honor Society and the most prestigious in the world.

1. How you SPELL someone's name is not an assertion. It is a FACT. If you look AT the footnote FOR THE BOOK, it clearly shows how the name is to be SPELLED. How can you be an editor and not check the reference? The subject's name is spelled out for the ARTICLE. The subject's name is listed ON THE BOOK. How can the spelling of a person's name be an assertion??? How can you EDIT an article and allow the spelling of the subject's name to shift throughout? Why is this sloppy editing allowed on Wikipedia? The SPELLING of the subject's name is not an assertion.
2. The author dedicates her book to her FOUR children. Again, this is not an ASSERTION, it is a fact. Please cite any material anywhere which shows this author has SIX children and not four. Please name these fictional other two children.
3. If you LOOK UP Phi Beta Kappa in WIKIPEDIA, it states, "The Phi Beta Kappa Society is the oldest honor society for the liberal arts and sciences with 280 active chapters in the United States. Widely considered to be the nation's most prestigious honor society, Phi Beta Kappa aims to promote and advocate excellence in the liberal arts and sciences and to induct the most outstanding students of arts and sciences at American colleges and universities.[1]" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.56.108.230 ( talk) 11:49, 4 December 2013 (UTC) Verification for "assertion" that Phi Beta Kappa is an honor society: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phi_beta_kappa 173.56.108.230 ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 11:54, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
