Disambiguation link notification for March 4

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Zenith Lives!: Tales of M.Zenith, the Albino, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page George Mann (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Proposed deletion of Against Nature (Obverse Books)

The article Against Nature (Obverse Books) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

I cannot find significant discussion of this book in reliable sources per WP:NBOOK. Google search results in bookshop sites, blogs, and social media.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. ... discospinster _talk 02:36, 22 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BURDEN and Obverse books

Claims of notability without actually providing reliable third party sources about the specific subject are as meaningless as a fart in a windstorm. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 17:10, 13 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

also take a look at WP:NOTINHERITED just because something related to something may be notable, the other subjects notability does not rub off and make the other thing notable. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 17:12, 13 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Potential conflict of interest

Based on the fact that your user name is one of primary individuals involved in the articles that you have been editing:

Hello, StuartDouglas. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 17:48, 13 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop making edits to subjects directly related to your business. You should instead use the talk page and make suggestions. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 11:28, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Stuart, I do think it would be a good idea to keep your head down and not edit the Obverse Books article, or any article directly related to OB's publications. You can alert editors to news coverage of your publications through the talk page, but I would also suggest hanging back a bit and giving your readers a chance to pick up on this coverage through your website and social media first.Rankersbo (talk) 09:53, 21 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough - it seems (even on a site as mentally challenging as Wikipedia) an odd idea that a person who knows about a thing shouldn't talk about that thing or post links to that thing (esecially since I don't post links to other links on either the website or the our facebook/twitter page only the announcements themselves - and apparently these places aren't reliable enough anyway), but hey ho, that wouldn't even make the top twenty inanities on Wikipedia :) StuartDouglas (talk) 11:33, 21 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Those are suggestions there is no prohibition from editing a COI area. I'd just understand that if people know they scrutinize you more. For example I wrote Dax Charles article, I know this person personally, that didn't mean I couldn't write the article I just had to make sure it was sourced with WP:RS and followed WP:NPOV.

Orphaned non-free media (File:NinniesCoverObverseBooks, 2013.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:NinniesCoverObverseBooks, 2013.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:12, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

May 2013

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. Hell In A Bucket (talk) 11:55, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the advice. Appreciated.StuartDouglas (talk) 12:27, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Don't log out to edit war, as you did with 81.101.253.171 (talk · contribs). It's deceptive and will get you blocked. Consider this your only warning. Reaper Eternal (talk) 13:01, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Since I did no such thing, as easily demonstrated, what possible basis do you have for this warning?StuartDouglas (talk) 14:21, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

regarding "agendas"

Yes, i do have an "agenda", to keep Wikipedia an encyclopedia whose articles meet the WP:N requirement for a stand alone article so that Wikipedia remains an encyclopedia and WP:NOT a free advertising platform or free fan wiki.

Your agenda appears to be one to keep promoting items which enhance the visibility of the franchise for which you write and publish, which is an agenda which is specifically prohibited. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 12:20, 31 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

An article you recently created, Ann Sears, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Ann Sears (November 1)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by AngusWOOF were:

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

so she played a nurse in The Bridge on the River Kwai? How does that make her notable? Needs more sources to meet WP:ENT

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.
