Adding your own books as "further reading"
[edit]
Hello Tonyleemoral. 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. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should 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;
- participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
- linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

Again, stop
[edit] Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to The Birds (film). While objective prose about beliefs, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you.
Hello, Tonyleemoral. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article The Birds (film), you may need to consider our guidance on conflicts of interest.
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.

Hi - Edits to the article about you and your work
[edit]Hi
I have removed several links that were to pages selling your books, and had little or no value to the article. (It is, basically, just advertising your products)
There are other webpages that can be used to show they exist, such as the one using Kamera.
I also removed some refs that were to self-published material (notably IMDB)
The refs which point to works you have had published, such as your article in The Huffington Post, should be OK.
There are a couple of others which might be removed, for example one is to a self-published wordpress site.
For info on why this is possibly a problem see this article
I have added a new paragraph as the start of the BBC & HBO thing.
I note you have not declared yourself as an "interested party" (re: COI)
- Please have a look at this article Conflict-of-interest editing on Wikipedia to understand how to progress.
I have also added some other single issue contributors to the talk page "possible interested parties" banner.
While I understand these may be real persons other than yourself, if these are accounts you created (say, because you forgot the passwords for example) then you should stop using them and choose just one to edit with.
- Take a look at WP:SOCK to understand the one account guideline.
I realise this is a lot to take in, but hope that you understand how to progress with the COI issues.
Any questions, please ask :)
