October 2016[edit]

Please do not assume ownership of articles as you did at The Shadow Girls. If you aren't willing to allow your contributions to be edited extensively or be redistributed by others, please do not submit them. Thank you. Melcous (talk) 08:28, 12 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello and thanks for your messages on my talk page. Please remember to "sign" your posts by adding four tildes (this symbol ~) at the end and also add your comments at the bottom of the page rather than in the middle of other people's comments. I did remove quite a lot of what you wrote as it was written as a first person review, e.g. "I thought this book was..." which is not acceptable on wikipedia. (I see the whole article has now been deleted by someone else). I did tag it with some issues as it did not meet many of wikipedia's criteria for articles. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a place to publish your own work, which is what you review of the book read as. Particularly including your own name and a copyright symbol at the end is a big no-no - the whole idea of wikipedia is that no one "owns" the articles and anyone can edit them. If you would like to try again, I would suggest writing a draft first, which can then be worked on over time and receive feedback from other editors before it is published, meaning it is much less likely to be deleted. You might like to read some of the articles I have linked to here as well as WP:NBOOK which gives the criteria for whether a book is notable enough for an article here; WP:V which talks about wikipedia's core policy of verifiability; and WP:CS which explains how and why to cite sources.
