For your convenience, I am copying my comments from there to this page, too:

Hi Olivia, and thanks for your interest in participating at Wikipedia. However, I have had to propose this article for deletion because it consists entirely of content published at http://www.amazon.com/Olivia-C.-Grosser/e/B002PCBXN4 and so violates our copyright policy. (Though from the rules provided at https://authorcentral.amazon.com/gp/help/terms it is not immediately clear to me who exactly holds the copyright on the biographical text there).

The other thing I wanted to mention to you is that you may want to rename the image that you have uploaded for use in the file something other than "Author Photo". We have many photos of authors, so perhaps a name like "Olivia Grosser photo" would be more useful and appropriate. Regards, WikiDao ☯ 18:27, 27 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome!

Hello, Oliviayard, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Olivia Grosser, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.

Please note that even if the copyright issue were resolved, the promotional tone of a company or personal website is likely to be unsuitable for an encyclopedia article, which requires a neutral point of view. Article subjects need to have notability, which is not a matter of opinion but has to be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." There is more detail at WP:Notability (people), particularly WP:AUTHOR, and good advice on how to write an acceptable article at WP:Your first article. If you are Olivia Grosser, please read WP:Autobiography for the reasons why writing about yourself is strongly discouraged. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 18:52, 27 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
