User talk:Ndbooks

Hi, can you please stop adding the "Publishers description" to the articles you are creating (Dark Back of Time, for example, used an exact copy of the publisher's description at [1]). We have a neutral point of view policy that this infringes upon, not to mention a possible copyright violation. Thanks. Marasmusine (talk) 16:58, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In fact, from your username I'm guessing that you are representing New Directions, is this correct? Marasmusine (talk) 16:59, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Last Evenings on Earth. While objective prose about products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Thank you. Marasmusine (talk) 23:45, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with Image:A Heart So White.jpeg[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:A Heart So White.jpeg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. Even if you created the image yourself, you still need to release it so Wikipedia can use it. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like {{PD-self}} (to release all rights), {{self|CC-by-sa-3.0|GFDL}} (to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by STBotI. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 19:43, 26 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for Image:Amuletwik.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Amuletwik.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 21:06, 8 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (Image:DistantStarwik.jpg)[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:DistantStarwik.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 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 'image' 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 "Image" 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. BJBot (talk) 05:37, 10 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Roberto Bolaño[edit]

You've recently made several useful contributions to this page. However, could you please provide citations for your additions, as per WP guidelines, and could you also avoid using the word "bizarre" without explicitly stating what is bizarre about the things to which you are referring? Finally, it would be helpful if you could provide an "Edit summary" (in the box) before your changes. Thanks! Macphysto (talk) 23:41, 15 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ndbooks, I've already discussed with you the issues of neutrality, considering you work for New Directions. I'm sure you can see how this edit [2] has POV issues. I think it would be best if you didn't contribute any further to New Directions related articles - and if you wish to contribute elsewhere, perhaps change your username. Thanks, Marasmusine (talk) 00:26, 16 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

AfD nomination of Hour of the star[edit]

I have nominated Hour of the star, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hour of the star. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. --smurdah (talk) 21:28, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with File:YFTwiki.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:YFTwiki.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

WP:SPAM and WP:COI[edit]

You should review WP:SPAM and WP:COI. (John User:Jwy talk) 21:05, 15 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia, because it has been identified as an account used for promotion of a company or group, with a username that implies that this has been done by that company or group. See Wikipedia:FAQ/Organization and Wikipedia:Conflict of interest.

This kind of activity is considered spamming and is forbidden by Wikipedia policies. In addition, the use of a username like yours violates our username policy.

You may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below or emailing the administrator who blocked you.

Your reason should include your response to this issue and a new username you wish to adopt that does not violate our username policy (specifically, understand that accounts are for individuals, not companies or groups, and that your username should reflect this). Usernames that have already been taken are listed here.
