>I’m seeing several items in 2009 marked “withdrawn”. For the sake of completeness, I’d like to retain the title and any data related to the author and publication date while providing a page for those titles that has the content: “Article withdrawn by author request”. Is that a reasonable approach since ultimately I’d like to be able to generate a bibliography of sorts (Timothy will be schooling me on that! ?). My understanding of the publishing business is that listing the title, author, and publication date does not violate the rights of the author so long as I do not publish the article. While I’d personally like to have the article for historical reasons, I respect the authors’ rights to withdraw their work from publication.

My take on this, having needed to withdraw one or two articles from
Freelance Traveller:

What I did was I retained the page for the article, with the title and
byline (and site design elements), but replaced the entire body of the
article with "This article has been withdrawn at the request of the
author". My thinking on this was that people might have bookmarked the
article, and I wanted to not break the bookmark if possible, and leave
enough information that the visitor might remember _why_ the article was
bookmarked.
