Every time I add something to the JT LeRoy page somebody is taking it down. Even when I use citations, whatever my contribution, it gets eliminated. I'm quite sure that Laura Albert or one her aliases or friends has to be tightly managing the page. It is apparent from all of the links. She claims that she is being 'defamed' and it is typical of her to play the victim. What would be the best way to make sure a true account is out there for the public record? Thank you. I've been sent lists of links and information and I have read a lot, but it's not helping.Msturm 8 (talk) 07:06, 24 September 2016 (UTC)
