Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to introduce inappropriate pages to Wikipedia, as you did at Bruce hawes, you may be blocked from editing. If you need guidance on how to create appropriate pages, try using the Article Wizard. --Richard Yin (talk) 19:36, 13 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

My Apologies, I didn't know i was being disruptive. I'm only merely trying to create a page of my Mentor. I will take your advice from this point and get the proper information i need.

Don't worry, we all have to learn. You can certainly try writing an article about Bruce Hawes, but it will look nothing like the ones you have been writing. I will provide more advice within a few hours, but to start with, read WP:Your first article and WP:PEACOCK. JohnCD (talk) 21:18, 13 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank You.. Its obvious i need to learn.lol

Advice

First, don't write marketing-speak or try to "sell" your subject. Avoid words like "legendary". Don't say he's wonderful, say what he has achieved - no opinions, just facts, neutrally stated. That's very hard for people used to writing marketing stuff, but it's essential. Wikipedia is very resistant to anything that looks like promotion. That's why everything you have written so far has been speedy-deleted.

Don't copy text in, from publishers' blurbs or from his own website. That will be deleted as a copyright violation - read Wikipedia:Copy-paste. Write in your own words. It's possible to make a formal copyright release, but it's usually not worth while, because blurbs and websites are ususally far too promotional.

Some of your articles looked as though they about his book. Better to make the article about him, so its title would be just "Bruce Hawes". Wikipedia has a test for inclusion called WP:Notability, which looks for evidence of "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." You are more likely to be able to show that he is notable, in this sense, than that his book is.

There is an important policy, Wikipedia:Verifiability, summarised as "any material challenged or likely to be challenged must be attributed to a reliable, published source". Articles about living people are deleted after a week if they don't have at least one source to confirm what they say.

I suggest you write a draft, by clicking on Help:Userspace draft and filling in the title, or by using the WP:Article wizard to help you through the process. Either way, you can send the result to WP:Articles for creation, where an experienced user will review it and either accept it or give you feedback.

WP:Your first article is a good starting point. Here are some other pages that you might find helpful:

On talk pages like this, it helps to know who said what when if you sign your messages by ending them with a group of four "tilde" characters ~~~~, which the system will turn into a signature of your username and the time and date, like this: JohnCD (talk) 23:03, 13 November 2014 (UTC)A[reply]
