Hello Glen arvon, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your addition to The Monster Club has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.

You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and a cited source. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied without attribution. If you want to copy from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. LuckyLouie (talk) 19:14, 2 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Valancourt Books

Hey, thanks for your contribution to Valancourt Books, I've spun it off into List of works published by Valancourt Books. I noticed there are some works missing (Horror and gay interest), do you have a comprehensive source or did you compile the list from their website? — TAnthony^Talk 02:46, 27 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:The Elementals by Michael McDowell, cover.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:The Elementals by Michael McDowell, cover.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 23:01, 28 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

A page you started (Nightmares and Geezenstacks) has been reviewed!

Thanks for creating Nightmares and Geezenstacks, Glen arvon!

Wikipedia editor Roches just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:

It doesn't seem right to see Hieronymus Bosch as the cover artist. I'm not sure what other articles use. Maybe "Unknown, featuring art by Hieronymus Bosch." Probably okay as is though.

To reply, leave a comment on Roches's talk page.
