The Aldren Staff

Hi. Don't worry too much about the various speedy, PROD and other deletion methods. The main thing is that an article needs to at least claim some notability according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. For this, you need third party references. There is a general guide on how to write an article here, and once you have sufficient prose and references you can submit an article here. Please ask again on my talk page if you're stuck.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add soapboxing, promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, as you did at List of high fantasy fiction, you may be blocked from editing. VQuakr (talk) 21:19, 27 May 2013 (UTC)

I saw your note on my talk page. Thanks for agreeing not to further promote your book. Can you please review the notability guideline for books at WP:NBOOK and let me know your impression about whether it meets any of these criteria? VQuakr (talk) 22:24, 27 May 2013 (UTC)

Your use of multiple Wikipedia accounts

Hi. An editor has opened an investigation into sockpuppetry by you. Sockpuppetry is the use of more than one Wikipedia account in a manner that contravenes community policy. The investigation is being held at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Ben Shipman, where the editor who opened the investigation has presented their evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, and then feel free to offer your own evidence or to submit comments that you wish to be considered by the Wikipedia administrator who decides the result of the investigation. If you have been using multiple accounts (in a manner contrary to Wikipedia policy), please go to the investigation page and verify that now. Leniency is usually shown to those who promise not to do so again, or who did so unwittingly, but the abuse of multiple accounts is taken very seriously by the Wikipedia community.
