Proposed deletion of Abby Miller

The article Abby Miller has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, all newly created biographies of living persons must have at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. —HueSatLum 00:50, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

May 2012

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Abby Miller with this edit do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Millermk90 (talk) 01:13, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

Hello Havenhurstbooks. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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. Thank you. Oxfordwang (talk) 03:15, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

Paul Weber (casting director)

Hi, I hate to bother you, but do you have any references to prove this person is notable? This article has many serious issues. Please fix the issues tagged in the article. If you need assistance, please contact me. Bearian (talk) 17:09, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Fred Cross

Hello Havenhurstbooks,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Fred Cross for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks, Wikipedical (talk) 07:46, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

Copyright problems with File:Fred Cross Actor Joe Schmo Show.jpg

Hello. Concerning your contribution, File:Fred Cross Actor Joe Schmo Show.jpg, please note that Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted text or images obtained from other web sites or printed material, without the permission of the author(s). This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1451905/. As a copyright violation, File:Fred Cross Actor Joe Schmo Show.jpg appears to qualify for deletion under the speedy deletion criteria. File:Fred Cross Actor Joe Schmo Show.jpg has been tagged for deletion, and may have been deleted by the time you see this message.

If you believe that the article or image is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License (CC-BY-SA) then you should do one of the following:

• If you have permission from the author, leave a message explaining the details at File talk:Fred Cross Actor Joe Schmo Show.jpg and send an email with the message to permissions-enwikimedia.org. See Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for instructions.

File permission problem with File:Fred Cross, Spike TV, The Joe Schmo Show.png

Thanks for uploading File:Fred Cross, Spike TV, The Joe Schmo Show.png. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 17:59, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

Article notability notification

Hello. This message is to inform you that an article that you wrote recently, Tanay Jackson, has been tagged with a notability notice. This means that it may not meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines. Please note that articles which do not meet these criteria may be merged, redirected, or deleted. Please consider adding reliable, secondary sources to the article in order to establish the topic's notability. You may find the following links useful when searching for sources: "Tanay Jackson" – news · books · scholar · JSTOR · free images. Thank you for editing Wikipedia!

March 2013

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Havenhurstbooks", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because usernames that represent groups, including businesses, are not allowed.. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. Nat Gertler (talk) 02:20, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended for publicity and/or promotional purposes. If you intend to edit constructively in other topic areas, you may be granted the right to continue under a change of username. Please read the following carefully.

Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, website or organization for purposes of promotion and/or publicity. The edits may have violated one or more of our rules on spamming, which include: adding inappropriate external links, posting advertisements, and using Wikipedia for promotion. Wikipedia has many articles on companies, groups, and organizations, but such groups are generally discouraged from using Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.

Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?

Probably not, although if you can demonstrate a pattern of future editing in strict accordance with our neutral point of view policy, you may be granted this right. See Wikipedia's FAQ for Organizations for a helpful list of frequently asked questions by people in your position. Also, review the conflict of interest guidance to see the kinds of limitations you would have to obey if you did want to continue editing about your company, group, organization, or clients. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit again.

What can I do now?

If you have no interest in writing about some other topic than your organization, group, company, or product, you will probably not be allowed to edit Wikipedia again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.

If you do intend to make useful contributions about some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:

• Add the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} on your user talk page.
• Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:Listusers to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy.
• Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In this reason, you must:
  • Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the edits for which you were blocked.
  • Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

This user's request to be unblocked to request a change in username has been reviewed by an administrator, who accepted the request.

Requested username:

TheYamMan (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

My old name looked like a company name to another user I believe - but it wasn't. This is the name of my street

Accept reason:

Allowing username change to requested username. Please put this request in at Wikipedia:Changing username as soon as possible to avoid re-blocking. Technically it doesn't appear that you represent Havenhurst Books, but since it's a real company, a change of username would be in everyone's best interests. Yunshui 雲‍水 09:20, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

Havenhurstbooks (talk) 18:21, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

I can see the objection to the name (it is a 'boutique' publisher), but I can't see any sign of you promoting them. I've moved this down to by the block notice - we like to keep things in the right place. Any admin coming will look down here. Peridon (talk) 18:40, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

Are you claiming you live on a street called Havenhurst Books Street???? --Orange Mike | Talk 18:53, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

I think it's the new name he means. Peridon (talk) 19:18, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

Hi everybody. Sorry, so am I in "the clear" now? I live on Havenhurst and am a book nut. My place is piled high (and on the floor and chairs) and my friends say I should open up a store. Sorry for all the confusion. I should have chosen a different name. Yikes! Should I still do that? Havenhurstbooks (talk) 20:06, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

Well, my inclination would be to suggest that you request a change of username to "Havenhurst Bibliophile", especially since the "H Books" company has a rather unsavory rep as a vanity press of the predatory sort. --Orange Mike | Talk 02:07, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

you seem to have made a usurpation request, but your target name isn't occupied, so it would be better to make a Simple Username change request...

My1^xTreme 19:35, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

I'm glad the name problem has been straightened up, fellow bibliophile! I'll be having yams for Easter supper, and will think of you. --Orange Mike | Talk 12:25, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

Happy Easter! Thanks for your guidance. I'll be eating yams in your honor! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Havenhurstbooks (talk • contribs) 22:25, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
