If you feel that I have reverted an edit or issued a warning in error, please let me know. I am human, and I do make mistakes. Please don't interpret an error on my part as a personal attack on you. It's not, I promise. I ask you to simply bring it to my attention; I am always open to civil discussion. Thank you. NeilN

Hi Caskett2015. But it does matter that there are credible sources (her representative) speaking to reliable sources. Given she got married a few days ago, I doubt going on social media or giving interviews is at the top of her list. --NeilN talk to me 12:45, 29 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Hey, Neil, at least you got an apology! Liz Read! Talk! 21:53, 29 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Caskett2015, the next time you see a problem like this, the preferred way to handle it is to use an edit summary when you revert the material — possibly something like "reverting per WP:BLP; claim doesn't appear to be reliably sourced". If others disagree and put the material back in, don't just pull it back out — that's a sure way to get in trouble for edit warring (or its cousin, the three-revert rule). Instead, go to the article's talk page and express your concerns there — if you really do have a valid point, other editors will come to your defence, and it won't be just you against the whole world anymore. Yes, it's true that we are required to act quickly when unsourced (or poorly sourced) contentious material is put into a biography of a living person (or any mention of a living person anywhere in Wikipedia). However, unless it is absolutely obvious to any sane person that the material in question is indisputable vandalism, repeatedly taking something out even as others are putting it back in is not the way we do things around here. (And if it's clear that more than one other editor disagrees with you, chances are the material in question is not "obvious vandalism", even if you think it is.) — Richwales (no relation to Jimbo) 06:15, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Pictures in the wikipedia section of god

Your statement: "Humans create representations of many "unknowable" things. For this particular example, see God the Father in Western art."

Please understand that God is not only a "thing". And the article God the Father in Western art is more related to Christianity, but the article God should be from a more general point of view. And the pictures which should depict God are neither necessary for the completness nor for better understanding of this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Afrobreak (talkcontribs) 16:53, 29 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The Judeo-Christian representation of God is fairly common and it's useful to show how God has been visually represented by believers. --NeilN talk to me 17:02, 29 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Question re: a Help page or Help template link

Hi Neil, three or four days ago I wrote a note to myself to look at your Talk page again and copy a link you had posted. It was something like a Help page or Help template and in my note to myself (scribbled at 3 AM) I called it "sources links" or "template sources links". Does something of that nature ring a bell? I recall it was a page with lots of helpful advice and examples on referencing, sourcing, or whatnot. I hadn't ever run across it on WP before, and I can't find it myself now either (like many helpful parts of Wikipedia, it is somehow buried or invisible to the naked eye, and isn't list on any relevant list or template that I came across). Anyway, I hope this rings a bell. As I recall, the page had a lot of yellow or something of that nature. I must have somehow looked on your talk page three or four days ago for some reason, and I could have sworn I saw a link to it there somewhere, I can't find the mention now. (PS: It may have been a Help template re: source links that when posted on someone else's Talk page, opens up to a big thing with lots of info.) Softlavender (talk) 06:12, 1 May 2015 (UTC) PS: If it helps, one thing I think(?) it might showed was how to consolidate refs by naming them. I may be wrong on that though. Softlavender (talk) 06:33, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Softlavender, no yellow but was it Help:Referencing for beginners? --NeilN talk to me 12:43, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia:Template messages/Sources of articles - NQ (talk) 13:46, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks Neil and Nathan. Unfortunately it wasn't either of those, although they are both helpful. I'm thinking now it may be a template that isn't really visible (even on the template documentation page) until you post it on someone's TALK Page. In other words, I think it is a Talk page template for a user, but it's not a warning; it's information. I don't know why I wrote down Neil's name; it may be someone else's Talk page I saw it on -- but I can't remember who. *sigh*. Next time I am just going to copy these things right away rather than believe that when I am half asleep I can mentally file and remember to come back to them and remember where I saw them.

A barnstar for you!

The Barnstar of Diligence
For your outstanding and strenuous effort to keep Wikipedia's content reliable.

P.S. - Exactly 78000 edits on en wiki as of now. Hope you fix the red link Zach suggested above. - NQ (talk) 12:38, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks NQ. Coming from someone who basically is the Resource Exchange, this means a lot. --NeilN talk to me 12:59, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Pretty surprised you haven't been blocked already. --NeilN talk to me 16:59, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, @Nenon145:, what you did wrong was removing the fossil range from Leopard Seal's taxobox.--Mr Fink (talk) 18:48, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Well, the Dawkins edits is what I warned them for. --NeilN talk to me 18:51, 1 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You step in like a breath of fresh air and save the day. Thank you so much for your contributions. All About That Bass (A word?? / Stalking not allowed...) 18:40, 2 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I should have checked

The block message was at the bottom. He was already blocked three times. I had no idea that he was blocked again as i thought he will be careful for now. But I don't know whether he was blocked for that edit i mentioned or some other acts of vandalism. --C E (talk) 16:14, 4 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Maggie Smith is Dead

Neil, Have you even watched the News lately? I am not vandalising! It is the truth, Maggie is dead, I'll miss her but she's dead. Please, don't ban me because I speak the truth! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.239.108.209 (talk) 20:00, 4 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop playing silly games and do something productive. --NeilN talk to me 20:03, 4 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Not to mention that you'd risk being banned for inserting a blatant and potentially libelous lie that insults the intelligence of all humans with even rudimentary ability to operate a search engine, and not for "telling the truth."--Mr Fink (talk) 20:17, 4 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

My edit was deleted

Hi, NeilN, You deleted my edit to Korean cuisine because I didn't cite a website, book, etc. Unfortunately, I didn't see how. Sorry, I'm really bad with tech ;) but I think the story about how Kimchi was made would really spice up the cuisine section (no pun intended). I got all my stuff from a book called South Korea: The Country, People, Religions, and Diets of South Korea. by Geun Yeong. If someone could please show me how I'd love to add a citation to my contribution. Thanks, Seo Gi — Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.173.218.151 (talk) 00:57, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The claims in that edit conflict with the sourced information at Kimchi#History. It sounds like a folk tale at best. I'm not finding that book on Amazon, Google books, or even Google. Ian.thomson (talk) 01:04, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks Ian. I haven't found anything that backs up the claims either. --NeilN talk to me 01:42, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Casual Query

How good are you at reading Russian?--Mr Fink (talk) 01:58, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Mr Fink, da, nyet, spasiba. Everything else goes to Google. --NeilN talk to me 02:27, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Just curious, as I just got my hands on an amphiaspidid paper by Novitskaya today, and the only thing that would make me even more excited would be if I knew how to read it.--Mr Fink (talk) 02:35, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I had to google "amphiaspidid" and that's in English! More or less. --NeilN talk to me 02:40, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Kashi Samaddar & another article

Dear NeilN,

I find some of you like to continue with mistakes as in:

1. Kashi Samaddar

2. List of people by number of countries visited

I have studied well, have much knowledge and edited with proper links as supporting but mistakes are being continued. Kindly check. Does wikipedia not need certificate? Without certificate, mere news paper article is wrong! Can you kindly and advise

Regards --Editwikigu (talk) 16:01, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Editwikigu: No, certificates are not required. Secondary sources like newspapers are preferred over primary sources anyways. Please mind the final warning I've given you. It seems you are only here to promote this person's accomplishments. Please stop jamming in puffery and irrelevant videos into articles. Also, please learn how to add references properly. I've pointed you towards a help page and offered to answer any questions. --NeilN talk to me 16:11, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

What do they hope to gain

Hi. Thanks for reporting 91.148.76.220. I was just headed there myself. I really don't know what these POV IP editors hope to gain - it's always going to end in rapid reverts and a block. Anyway, thanks again. Cordless Larry (talk) 18:33, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Cordless Larry: I've asked Bobrayner if he knows who the sockmaster is. It's obviously the same person and doing this every day, asking them to use the talk page and watching we don't trip over WP:3RR ourselves, is a pain in the neck. --NeilN talk to me 18:41, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed! Cordless Larry (talk) 18:42, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
WP:3RR does not apply when reverting sockpuppets. bobrayner (talk) 18:58, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Bobrayner: The sockmaster has to be a blocked editor. So, either a blocked registered editor or an IP whose past IP is currently blocked. --NeilN talk to me 19:01, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed. bobrayner (talk) 19:09, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, do you guys mean that the sockmaster has to be blocked for the 3RR rule not to apply, or are you speculating on who the sockmaster is in this case? I presume the former, but just want to make sure I understand the policy. Cordless Larry (talk) 19:27, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I answered my own question. "Reverting actions performed by banned users, and sockpuppets of banned or blocked users" is an exception. Cordless Larry (talk) 19:28, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Cordless Larry, just to be clear - unless you can definitively link the current IP hopper to a currently blocked account I would not rely on an exemption. --NeilN talk to me 19:32, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Yep, understood. Many thanks, both. Cordless Larry (talk) 19:41, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
One of my concerns is that this is a very active editor who has been doing it for several years. Probably deserves a WP:LTA case by now. As long as they're easy to spot, they're easy to revert. I am wary of publically disclosing the evidence that connects them to the specific permablocked parent account, because revealing their tells would make future abuse harder to deal with. But that name isn't actually necessary; since they're an obvious sock I'm happy to keep on following WP:3RRNO. (If we ever made it mandatory to name the parent account, it would be impossible to protect topics like this which attract multiple sockpuppeteers and a few enablers too). bobrayner (talk) 19:44, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protection

I was just wondering if there was a way that confirmed users could apply to have a page semi protected or something similar? CaraDele (talk) 14:40, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi CaraDele. Any user can request semi-protection of an article. An administrator will look at the article's history to decide if there's enough recent disruption to warrant protection. The standards are relaxed a little for biographies of living people but if you're talking one or two "bad" edits a week it's unlikely protection will be granted. If you want more info, please see WP:SPP. --NeilN talk to me 14:57, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Your Disruptive Editing on Bekka, Lebanon

Here is the link: to the discussion page of User:LeoFrank --Human Chlorophyll (talk) 16:07, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Human Chlorophyll: That's not a discussion. That's one post by you with a vague assertion. Please use the article's talk page to discuss specific points. I suggest you point out a specific reference and state why it doesn't source the text in the article. --NeilN talk to me 16:13, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Your reinsertion of the paragraph is quite disruptive because none of the given sources corresponds to what is written in the paragraph.--Human Chlorophyll (talk) 16:09, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict) @Human Chlorophyll: That's not clear at all. The sentence "A temple at Bakka is mentioned in sura 3 (Al-i-Imran), ayah 96 of the Qur'an, where it is said to be the site of the first place of worship to God by Adam." has three references. I checked one and it says, "The Koran says: 'The first sanctuary appointed for mankind was that at Bakkah, a blessed place, a guidance for the peoples' (3:96)" --NeilN talk to me 16:22, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
One of the sources given, for example, is "The New Encyclopedia of Islam By Cyril Glassé, Huston Smith, p 302". When I opened the source on this link, I found that the source is actually saying: "Originally, Mecca was called Bakkah". The source doesn't say at all that "the Quranic Bakkah" is a place in Lebanon.--Human Chlorophyll (talk) 16:17, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The another source is given is: "Muhammad and Jesus: A Comparison of the Prophets and Their Teachings By William E. Phipps, p 85". When I opened the source on this link, I didn't find it saying that the Quranic bakkah is a place in Lebanon, but rather, that Bakkah is an early name of Mecca.--Human Chlorophyll (talk) 16:21, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Please use the article's talk page for this discussion. --NeilN talk to me 16:24, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I will copy this discussion and paste it on the talk page for a period of 3 days, then I will remove the paragraph again, but I expect you to remove it yourself as it has been explained for you that "the Qur'anic Bakkah" is not a place in Lebanon as the paragraph is saying."The Quranic Bakkah" is itself Mecca. You can check the article of Mecca and see yourself. --Human Chlorophyll (talk) 16:26, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I have copied the discussion to the article talk page. --Ebyabe talk - Inspector General16:30, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Some baklava for you!

Thank you very much! and I am really sorry because I misunderstood you. Human Chlorophyll (talk) 16:49, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Human Chlorophyll. And thanks for persevering and clarifying your point so the article could be corrected. --NeilN talk to me 16:51, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

About my edits

Thank you. I didn't notice the navbox, I will check it and see what are the existents links. I saw that other pages that have similar "See Also", I just trying to unify the layout. I will delete the links that are also in the navbox of this pages.Rupert loup (talk) 16:57, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Rupert loup: Thanks for your efforts. You might want to add the navbox to appropriate articles that don't have it and add links to missing articles in the navbox. --NeilN talk to me 17:04, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I see that in the "see also" section of the pages that I edited (i.e. Persecution of Muslims and Persecution of Jews), there are already links that are in the navbox. I think they should be removed. What do you think? Rupert loup (talk) 17:23, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Rupert loup: Yes, you are correct. We have a guideline on this: WP:SEEALSO - "As a general rule, the "See also" section should not repeat links that appear in the article's body or its navigation boxes." --NeilN talk to me 17:27, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
And what about "Persecution by ...", I don't see it in the navbox and it's use in the Persecution of Christians's page. And why did you deleted the portals and the Commons Category in some of the pages? I didn't mean to be rude, I'm just want to know how this works. Rupert loup (talk) 17:51, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Rupert loup: Not sure what you're asking me. If you think I removed links that aren't in navboxes or in the "External links" section please feel free to revert me. I looked at what you were adding and just did a spot check comparison. --NeilN talk to me 18:03, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I see, thank you for taking the time to help me. Rupert loup (talk) 18:06, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Could I get more clarification on my edit?i was trying to provide an example of a small agency just like there were for medium and large agencies. — Preceding unsigned comment added by KansasCityRoyal (talkcontribs)

@KansasCityRoyal: Those other agencies have Wikipedia articles to show they're notable and they don't have links to their websites for obvious advertising purposes. --NeilN talk to me 04:29, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

NORN

What's happened to NORN? Hardly anyone involved, people seeming happy that you can state that a source doesn't mention something, etc. The original editor has both reinstated all the text that others removed, and keeps messing with my edits to his talk page.[1] Dougweller (talk) 15:16, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Replied here. And I know how irritating it is to have posts refactored [2], [3] but at the end of the day, sometimes you just have to throw up your hands and move on. [4] --NeilN talk to me 15:33, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I have replied to your concerns on the talk page.--Cubancigar11 (talk) 03:10, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

User:Prinsgezinde

If you saw this, then you know that I have my eye on this editor; this a very sketchy editor, who doesn't at all appear to actually grasp Wikipedia's policies and guidelines despite knowing of some of them. See here and here, for example, which show that he wrongly applied WP:COI. See his talk page for more inaccurate WP:COI descriptions. See this inaccurate WP:Inuniverse tag. I could go on about this editor's problematic editing. I think that this editor is familiar with me; where he might be quick to revert others, he has avoided reverting me thus far. This scare quote edit he made reminds me of Acoma Magic (talk · contribs), who would obsess over removing scare quotes from religious and LGBT topics. Since I'm not yet 100% sure which past WP:Disruptive editor this is, I'm alerting you to this editor so that you and/or your talk page watchers might help keep a lookout. Flyer22 (talk) 03:42, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Update: Per Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Acoma Magic/Archive#Comments by other users 9, I was waiting for Prinsgezinde to make a video game edit, and he very recently did so. If he did so before this, I missed it. So again, this editor might be Acoma Magic. And that is likely why he has been cautious as far as reverting me goes; he knows that I can identify him. WP:Pinging Sjones23, MrX, Viriditas and Black Kite to this section since they are other editors familiar with Acoma Magic's editing style. I know that it's been a significant time since any of us identified an Acoma Magic WP:Sockpuppet, but do any of you think that Prinsgezinde is likely one? I would have also cited British spelling since Acoma Magic was British and/or Australian and used British/Australian spelling; but with this edit, Prinsgezinde used American spelling for "lead" ("lead" instead of "lede") and British/Australian spelling with this edit for "grey" ("grey" instead of "gray"). Even if Prinsgezinde is not Acoma Magic, I'm convinced that he is a WP:Sockpuppet of a past WP:Disruptive editor; looking at his contribution history, or things he's stated on his talk page, it's easy to see that he is not at all a WP:Newbie. Flyer22 (talk) 21:22, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing jumps out at me at the moment, other than both editors having edited Anti-Christian sentiment. Acoma Magic and his socks were obsessed with changing LGBT-related articles to reflect their POV. Prinsgezinde did make this faintly quacking edit to heteronormativity, so there may be something to Flyer22's suspicions.- MrX 21:51, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I've started an WP:SPI investigation at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Acoma_Magic#08_May_2015. Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 21:54, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, Sjones23 and MrX. The WP:CheckUser data is likely to read as stale in the case of comparing Prinsgezinde to Acoma Magic. So I'm not sure that the WP:Sockpuppet investigation will be too helpful. I was waiting to gather more evidence as time went on. After more evidence, I think that I would have been able to make an 100% match to Acoma Magic or to a different past disruptive editor. More evidence would mean a solid WP:Duck block. Flyer22 (talk) 22:09, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
That stated, a WP:CheckUser could state whether or not Prinsgezinde is editing from the same area Acoma Magic edited from (Britain or Australia). Flyer22 (talk) 22:12, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Confused and frustrated

I need to edit 10 things to become verified and i went to do that and that you wrote me a rude remark about making random comments on pages. and the change i made on the human trafficking page was not advertising it was just to say there are established organizations that help rescue sex slave victims and help counsel survivors which i know first hand because i volunteer for human trafficking outreaches and am certified in victim advocacy, how am I supposed to become verified if im not allowed to write anything without you deleting it and writing me a rude message? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dchandler735 (talkcontribs) 05:14, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Dchandler735. You can make your ten edits to any page, including your user page and talk pages. However, when you do become autoconfirmed, you still can't add things like this and this to articles. Content needs to be written in an encyclopedic manner, without advocating for a cause, and verifiable, through the use of references. --NeilN talk to me 12:48, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Didn't even attempt to find references for Prasant maths, why?

Why were you so partial towards my created pages? You are working on a project to help the unsourced articles find source. They why you were absent when prasant maths pages needed help in the matter of ref? You didn't attempt to find even two months back already published ok reference from AIFAS astrology research journal?SillyLilies (talk) 15:25, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

SillyLilies, I was not involved in the discussion but I've looked at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Prasant Maths and saw you had ample opportunity to provide independent sources. Instead, you engaged in silly accusations. --NeilN talk to me 15:42, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
But, before the accusations [they are intellectual, not silly], I had openly called for help from wiki. You were absent. You have been awarded for reverting vandalisms in a blink.. but you didn't help me then, why this partiality? SillyLilies (talk) 15:55, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
SillyLilies You realize that no one person is watching everything that happens on Wikipedia? I only got involved because you posted on Cullen's page which I happen to watch. Other people got involved in the deletion discussion because they regularly participate in deletion discussions or are watching for deletion discussions related to science or cricket. --NeilN talk to me 16:02, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Your team is rejecting any/every kind of reference provided by me. I am totally confused what wiki finally considers as ref? It is calling AIFAS journal as 'profit' based, height of fraud. Which news channel/source is non-profit based, are there any at all? Can you spot a single reference amidst the indian/bollywood films wiki pages which has ref from 'non-profit' news source? AIFAS ref not satisfactory, questioning its quality/authenticity is height of fraud.SillyLilies (talk) 16:04, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@SillyLilies: You are misrepresenting or not understand what Bryanrutherford0 said. I will repeat it here, emphasizing key points: "The new link that's been added appears marginally more credible than the previous ones, but the publication seems to be an astrologers' trade magazine (however much it wishes to present itself as an academic journal), and the article is, like all the others, written by Prasant. What are the criteria for the inclusion of articles in this "journal"? What sort of peer review have its articles undergone? What sort of attempts are there to replicate the "research" published in this magazine?"
To show notability, we need sources independent of Prasant, published in non-fringe periodicals or magazines. --NeilN talk to me 16:12, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Its still not late, you can help me, suggest me what are the 'correct forms of ref? wiki ref article is too much confusing... at one place research articles not allowed, book published under own name not allowed, but lillywhite new ref is from book published by lillywhite itself.. it is totally confusing..

And what more, the second ref is pointing towards error page!SillyLilies (talk) 16:20, 8 May 2015 (UTC) ALAKURTTI air base page created without anything, not even an article, in 2006..and still breathing happily in wiki. How, why? SillyLilies (talk) 16:29, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No, sorry, I'm done here. See Cullen's page for my comments. --NeilN talk to me 16:32, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Same is the case with Alanya Kebab..since 2006...without even an article? Why were you wiki team quite particular about my created pages? Airbase is non commercial, and simple maths is commercial, why this partial treatment? You are a popular id here, your team could have passed my articles, too, to you.. even now it is possible because my pages are not that much defective as the above mentioned, isn't it so?SillyLilies (talk) 16:37, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
See WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. If you feel another article shouldn't be in Wikipedia, you are free to nominate it for deletion yourself. --NeilN talk to me 16:41, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Manhattan Literary addition on Ghostwriter page

(See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Ghostwriter for the flow from earlier paragraph, and fuller edit of 'Remuneration and Credit' section to accommodate this change)

Here, NeilN, is the paragraph referencing Manhattan Literary, isolated:

This price range reflects a standard that was in effect for several decades. It began to shift only recently with the emergence of new markets for shorter books. The novella-length text (about 35,000 words and under) was formerly a very small market, but has widely expanded with new imprints like Amazon's Kindle Singles. [9] As a result, starting prices have come down by as much as half. This level of remuneration for a professional ghostwriter now makes sense, but only if the work is shorter. Manhattan Literary states that "book projects on the shorter side, tailored to new markets like the Kindle Singles imprint and others (30,000-42,000 words) start at a cost of $15,000." [10] [11]

@Mariwiki77: I've copied your text here: User:NeilN/sandbox and marked some problem areas (note that other Wikipedia articles can't be used as sources). Feel free to work on that version if you want or if you have questions, just ask. --NeilN talk to me 21:57, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
