Notability issues

[edit]

Information icon Thank you for your work on The Crown Tower and The Rose and the Thorn. Not all topics are notable (suitable for a stand-alone Wikipedia article). If an article does not cite sources establishing notability, it may get deleted. In the case of the articles you created for these two books, they have been reverted back to an earlier version that redirects to another related page about the book series.

A source shows that the article topic is notable when it:

The book itself cannot be used as a source to establish its own notability.

Typically, more than one notability-establishing source is needed, unless the applicable subject-specific notability guideline — in this case, WP:NBOOK — states otherwise. Specific questions can be answered live at the Teahouse help forum. Thank you.

Control copyright icon Hello FlameKamen! Your additions to The Crown Tower and The Rose and the Thorn have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, it's important to understand and adhere to guidelines about using information from sources to prevent copyright and plagiarism issues. Here are the key points:

It is not permissible to transcribe the book's blurb or plot summary verbatim.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices. Persistent failure to comply may result in being blocked from editing. If you have any questions or need further clarification, you can use the Teahouse help forum. Thank you.

Writing plot summaries

[edit]

I see that you have an interest in articles about novels, and have edited several plot summaries; however, there are issues with some of your contributions. Please note that plot summaries in articles about novels should be concise, in the range of 400 to 700 words. You should not be trying to recreate the emotional impact of the book, so it's better to tone down on the highly dramatic, descriptive language (such as here) and summarize the bare facts of events that happen in the story. I strongly urge you to read the guidelines Writing about fiction as well as the how-to guide at How to write a plot summary before continuing.

Also, related to copyright issues, please do not copy-and-paste plot summaries from elsewhere into Wikipedia, even if you intend to make edits subsequently to rephrase or reword, like you did for Hounded (novel). Doing so is still a copyright violation and necessitates cleanup of the article history to purge to offending content. It also has an elevated risk of resulting in close paraphrasing; the best practice is to write in your own words, from scratch.
