Hello, Illbadler. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Bill Adler, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

• Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
• Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
• Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
• Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations.
Writing about close relatives presents many of the same issues as well. I think by and large you've managed to avoid the self-promotional, self- congratulatory tone that most people take when writing about yourself, but the level of detail in both Bill Adler and Sara Moulton is a bit thick and at some point it may need to be pared down a bit. How about trying your hand at other articles too? JohnInDC (talk) 01:21, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

July 2012

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Bill Adler, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you. There has been substantial content added by users other than yourself on the article; you cannot just blank the page as you're the original author (see WP:OWN). Either fix the article, or leave it and wait for someone else to do it. You shouldn't have written an autobiography in the first place, anyway. andy4789 ★ · (talk? contribs?) 23:19, 16 July 2012 (UTC)

I do not know you. You're opinion is worthless to me. I am going to continue to delete the content.Illbadler (talk) 00:25, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

That was quite rude. You need to understand that you need to follow WP:CIVIL, the rules and guidelines of Wikipedia, and our standards. This article, while it may be about you, is not your article to do whatever you wish with. --Fbifriday (talk) 00:32, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

Bill - it won't work to delete the article. It'll keep getting restored, and if you keep deleting it your account will be blocked altogether. Let people try to clean it up. JohnInDC (talk) 01:12, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for December 31

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Raquel Cepeda, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Inwood, Salon and Washington Heights (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Replaceable fair use File:Raquel Cepeda photo.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Raquel Cepeda photo.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 18:51, 12 January 2014 (UTC)

Friend,

You'll notice I posted the photo twice. At first I thought it was not free. Then I noticed that it was in fact being used in articles on on Ms. Cepeda's public Facebook page (FB: https://www.facebook.com/Raquel.Cepeda.Writer.Filmmaker) and Twitter page. I also linked to the "media room" page on Ms. Cepeda's website, where it is written that the images are free for anyone to use: http://djalirancher.com/press/media-kit/. It was then I posted the photo a second time, asserting that the photo was available under Fair Use rules.

Stefan,

Thanks very much for the information. I'm afraid, however, that I'm being defeated by wikipedia's technology. I have returned to "Upload File" page. I have clicked on the button that says, "Upload file," and then I have uploaded the file. But when I attempt to fill in the slot that says, "Destination filename," I am prevented from doing so.

Any advice?

Many thanks, Bill Adler Illbadler (talk)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Postcard for Sacha Jenkins's "Writers Convention" art exhibit.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Postcard for Sacha Jenkins's "Writers Convention" art exhibit.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Stefan2 (talk) 20:51, 10 July 2014 (UTC)

Question for Wikipedians April 5, 2016

I'm writing to disambiguate myself from someone with whom I share a name. I was emailed this morning with the information that my Wikipedia page had been linked to a page devoted to a book entitled "Another Life: A Memoir of Other People." Apparently, this other Bill Adler is written about in the book. But I am not that Bill Adler. The Bill Adler in question was an older gent, now deceased, who worked as a writer and editor. Here is a link to his obituary in the New York Times: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/04/business/bill-adler-writer-editor-and-compiler-of-books-dies-at-84.html?_r=0.

Reconsideration of the warning at the top of the biography of Davy DMX

Dear friends,

A couple of months ago I rewrote the biography for Davy DMX. I believe that it improves on the previous version. However, the warning at the top of the piece -- about how it needs additional citations for verification (and posted in June 2008) -- remains. The current version of the entry provides solid citations. What can be done to remove that warning?

Thanks, Bill AdlerIllbadler (talk) 13:38, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

Answered my own question

Friends,

I stumbled on the Help page that explained how to remove a warning template that no longer applied. Then I removed the template at the top of the entry on Davy DMX.

I rewrote my article about Steven "Akili" Walker in response to the criticisms above and posted the revised version on July 7. As best as I can tell, this new version has not yet been reviewed.

Just to be clear, you've now read the second draft of my article on Akili Walker, the one written after my first draft was declined because I cited unreliable sources. The second draft excised all citations from discogs.com and replaced them with six citations from Billboard magazine -- which is a reliable source. And you still decline to publish the article?
