linking

Hi, I've noticed that you've gone back and relinked things that I've unlinked. An example of this would be Patricia Maxwell. Please be aware that linking pseudonyms only causes redirects back to the Patricia Maxwell page, which is frowned upon. Why link to a page you're already at? Also please remember to use a formal tone while writing since this is an encyclopedia. The links in the welcome message should be very helpful in setting you on your way to becoming a great wikipedian. Thanks. --ImmortalGoddezz 14:46, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

English Grammar

Hi Eromance. I have noticed that you have edited a lot of the romance novelist pages that I created. While I appreciate your input, I've noticed that the grammar you use does not always make sense. If English is not your first language and you are translating from other sites, please put the text on the talk page of the article first (or let me know on my talk page if you want) and someone can help polish the wording so that it will not confuse native English speakers. (And I would also like to second ImmortalGoddezz--please don't put links for the pseudonyms!!). Thanks. Karanacs 16:43, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Gracias for your cooperation! It is great that you are trying to help out the English wikipedia even though it is not your first language :) Karanacs 20:49, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Notability of Susan Longhi King

A tag has been placed on Susan Longhi King, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (below the existing db tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. SuzanneKn 22:48, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

I think it would have helped if you had put in links or references. I searched google for her a couple of times and couldn't find anything. SuzanneKn 22:48, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Categories

Please be careful when adding categories. Recently you've added Category:Romantic fiction writers to a lot of articles that already have Category:American romantic fiction writers in there. American romantic fiction writers is a subcategory of the Romantic fiction writers category and it is unnecessary to have both. Sub-categories are preferred because they have more detail than parent categories. Additionally you've been using the defaultsort template. Please make sure to removed the "|lastname, firstname]]" from the existing categories when you use it since the purpose of defaultsort is to get rid of all the repetitive formatting after the categories. I hope this helps. --ImmortalGoddezz 19:16, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Renaming pages

I've noticed that you've moved a couple of pages like Nora Roberts to Eleanor Marie Robertson, which is an incorrect move. You really need to stop moving these pages and read over Wikipedia:Naming conventions (people) particularly the pseudonyms part. I'm going to move Eleanor Marie Robertson back to Nora Roberts in 7 days time unless there's some major disputes on the talk page. Anyway I hope this helps. --ImmortalGoddezz 22:21, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Be that as it may I still think that it should be moved back to Nora Roberts. Additionally if you read over the Naming Conventions you'll see that middle names are highly discouraged in the name titles. Also I've noticed that you've moved even more articles (eg. Jude Deveraux) Taking straight from the naming conventions links that I've given you it says this If people published under one or more pen names and/or their own name, the best known of these names is chosen. For example (again) Jude Deveraux. Since 1977 she's been known as Jude Deveraux; it's her best known name and her only known published name so it's unnecessary and unhelpful to move her page to Jude Gilliam even if she is married. In summary what I mean to say is that you are making unnecessary and confusing moves so I think it would be helpful if you read over the policies again. In the case of Nora Roberts since it is a disputed move I believe community consensus is the proper way to go and I will soon list it at WP:Requested Moves. Thank you. --ImmortalGoddezz 23:47, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

I just noticed these moves, and I agree with ImmortalGoddezz. We'll only confuse people by listing the person under their full name rather than the name by which they are known. We need to change all of these back to the names they were listed under before. Karanacs 02:38, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Copyright infringement & also verifiability

• You are not allowed to simply copy text from other websites. This is illegal and doing so will get your contributions deleted.
• Articles must be verifiable in published third-party sources. Even if it you were permitted to simply copy text from the subject's website, doing so would not form a legitimate encyclopedia article, and using these websites as your sources is bad practice. —Centrx→talk • 04:59, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

New historical romance page

Hi E-romance! I just wanted to let you know that I created a new page for historical romance today. From now on when we create articles about historical romance authors we can link to this instead of to the romance novel page (or you can link to both). The page still needs a lot of work, but I'm going to be gradually adding to it.Karanacs 18:42, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

A few concerns

I've come across a few of edits that you've made in authors articles, and that I've fixed, and I want to help you fix them yourself. Anyway:

1. A person retaining residency in the United States is an American. Using [[United States|American]] is the best way, I've found, to address that and makes using U.S. American unnecessary. Likewise United States of America and USA all redirect to United States why not bypass the redirects and just call it the United States or [[United States|USA]]?
2. Do not bold the authors name after the first paragraph; see Wikipedia:Manual of Style (text formatting). After you've introduced the author in the first paragraph there's no reason to draw the readers attention to the name again. They know who they're reading about or they wouldn't be there in the first place.
3. Spam. You've been adding a lot of links like 'All Romance Writers' to the pages of some of these authors. Per WP:EL links that require registration should be avoided. Additionally you add these links in a way that can be considered promotion. Instead of Jill Shalvis's Webpage in Fantastic Fiction's Website try using Jill Shalvis at Fantastic Fiction instead. Also if you're going to cite these pages please link directly to the page that you got it from and not just for example, eHarlequins or Mills & Boon homepage.

I think that's it. Anyway I really do hope this helps you with your editing. --ImmortalGoddezz 16:07, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Naming

I've noticed that you've been changing a lot of names in the romance authors pages from their commonly known names to their birth names or lesser known names. These changes are unnecessary and I know that I've gone back and reverted a few of them. Basically if the article is at 'ABC XYZ' then the article should start out 'ABC XYZ blah blah blah born as suchandsuch.' A good way to recognize what is the most recognized name is to look at the authors official website.. in the case of Diana Palmer her website is dianapalmer.com. I know a lot of these authors use pen names and for that the guideline is "If people published under one or more pen names and/or their own name, the best known of these names is chosen." Basically please read over naming conventions before changing all of these authors. Thanks and I hope this helps you with your editing. --ImmortalGoddezz 01:06, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

I am just copying this response from Belagaile's talk page to here because it covers everything I want to say. The birth name is not lost within the article if you mention pseudonyms later; however referring to the author by a lesser known name at the beginning of an article causes a great amount of confusion, especially if that name is obscure. Take for example the article Jenna Black; right now she writes under Jenna Black; however she has written under the pen name Jennifer Barlow. The article started off referring to her as Jennifer Barlow despite the fact that the article's name is Jenna Black. You do this to avoid confusion because most people don't realize that some of these people have more than one pen name, so you stick with the one that they're commonly known as and stay with that throughout the entire article. What I mean is that most people don't know that Eleanor Marie Robertson Smith Wilder is Nora Roberts because she doesn't write under that name, she hasn't published under that name, and she rarely refers to herself by that name when interviewing. It's ok to mention it later in the article, because it is her birth/married names however per WP:NAME "Names of Wikipedia articles should be optimized for readers over editors; and for a general audience over specialists." The whole gist of my comment can be boiled down to: Just because you might be familiar with their given name/lesser known pen names doesn't mean that everybody else is. --ImmortalGoddezz 17:19, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Jan Coffey

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Jan Coffey, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of Jan Coffey.

Book cover images

Hi E-romance, I noticed that you have uploaded a few book cover images and have been adding those to the articles about the articles. Unfortunately, I don't think that these images can be used in the articles. The fair use rationale says that the article must explicitly discuss that book, and in the articles I have watchlisted the books aren't discussed. I think we would have to go into some detail about the book or its importance, and just having it listed in the bibliography does not satisfy the fair use requirements. You probably ought to remove all of the images of books that aren't specifically discussed in the articles. That will make the images orphaned and they will then be deleted. If you have any questions, let me know. Karanacs (talk) 22:35, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Heather Graham

Hi, did you see the discussion on the Heather Graham talk page before you moved it and made a disambig page? - TexMurphy (talk) 08:37, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Images

Hi E-romance, I saw that you uploaded a few book covers and have been adding those to articles. Please note that under fair use, the book covers can only be used in articles that are discussing the book (or the cover itself), in some depth. For the most part, these are inappropriate in articles about the author. Fair use guidelines are getting stricter on Wikipedia, and we have to be very careful to try to meet them. Thanks! Karanacs (talk) 22:03, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

ImmortalGoddezz and I both noticed that you had created a few articles on the first novels by some of the romance novelists. My guess is that this is in response to my comments about the images. I don't think that any of those books meet Wikipedia:Notability (books), the guideline for whether to have an article on a book. Generally, books must have been the subject of several in-depth reviews or have other information written widely about them. For the most part, Harlequin or Mills and Boon books don't have this type of information available, so those books wouldn't be able to get stand-alone articles. If you have any questions, please let me know. Karanacs (talk) 15:11, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

As a further FYI, I've proposed the following articles for deletion:

• The Passionate Winter
• Now and Forever by Diana Palmer
• Caroline (novel)
• Duchess in Disguise

Copyright violations

Hi E-romance. I discovered that in many of the book articles you created, the plot summary was copied directly from Fantastic Fiction. This is not acceptable on wikipedia. You cannot copy and paste text from other websites. I have deleted those articles and request that you not create them unless a) the books in question meet the guidelines in WP: Notability (books), b) the articles contain more than plot summary (see WP:NOT#Plot) and c) the text is not copied from somewhere else. Your contributions are encouraged, but you must follow the wikipedia rules. Karanacs (talk) 22:39, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello E-romance! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 5 of the articles that you created are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 2 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

1. Kim Lawrence - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

Names of spouses/children of authors

Hi E-romance, nice to see you back online. I wasn't sure if you were aware of the English WP policy on biographies of living people. In particular, WP:BLPNAME urges caution in using the names of people who aren't the subject of articles themselves. I don't think that it is necessary to know the names or ages of the children to fully understand the life of most authors. I would even more strongly advise not to include full birthdates of the children unless it is widely known (for example, the birthdate of Tom Cruise's daughter is likely very well known; those of Kathleen E. Woodiwiss's children probably aren't). That gets into privacy issues. Karanacs (talk) 21:11, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

Also, please see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Elissa Ambrose. As a result of this year's big push to deal with unreferenced biographies of living people, I've been steadily nominating for deletion articles on category romance authors if there aren't independent reliable sources, and this time I think you've been a significant contributor to this batch. Karanacs (talk) 21:46, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

On this note, PLEASE do not post the personal information of Kelley Armstrong (re:husband, kids, parents, marriage date). The author has not put out this detailed information for privacy reasons. - Concerned Party

Inventing married names for people

• your edit to Kelley Armstrong
• your edit to Lori Wilde

Please come to Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard#Married names and explain why you invented a married name for Kelly Armstrong that disagreed with the source that you yourself cited for your content. We've already had Lori Wilde apparently complaining about the name that you invented for her. Uncle G (talk) 13:04, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

Naming conventions

Good on you for setting up dab pages. May I suggest, though, that you please familiarise yourself with naming conventions for people? Margaret Evans (New Zealander mayor) is certainly not the way to disambiguate. If you are unsure what to do, it's best to simply put something forward as a move request. Don't let that stop you from establishing dab pages; simply create a dab page as name (disambiguation) and then make it part of a multi-move request. When you do move a page, it is regarding a good editing etiquette that you fix incoming links, so that they don't point to a dab page. Schwede66 19:40, 11 August 2012 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Rita Gallagher

The article Rita Gallagher has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

A search for references failed to find significant coverage in reliable sources to comply with notability requirements. This included web searches for news coverage, books, and journals, which can be seen from the following links:
Rita Gallagher – news, books, scholar
Consequently, this article is about a run-of-the-mill author who appears to lack sufficient notability. Please see the plain-language summary of our notability guidelines.

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.

Replaceable fair use File:Simply Irresistible by Rachel Gibson.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Simply Irresistible by Rachel Gibson.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 07:16, 2 June 2017 (UTC)

You're probably not aware of this change, but Days of the Year pages are no longer exempt from WP:V and direct sources are required for additions.
