Speedy deletion nomination of The Book of Five Rings: a graphic novel

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on The Book of Five Rings: a graphic novel requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Mkdw^talk 08:28, 20 December 2012 (UTC)

I have deleted this page for two reasons:

• It was a copyright violation, copied from Amazon. Wikipedia cannot accept previously published text unless a formal copyright release is made by the copyright holder. See Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
• It was far too promotional in tone for an encyclopedia article, which requires a neutral point of view. Wikipedia is not a noticeboard for posting copies of publishers' blurbs.

For more advice, see WP:Your first article, WP:Notability (books) and WP:WAF. JohnCD (talk) 12:12, 20 December 2012 (UTC)

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Ōishi Yoshio may have broken the syntax by modifying 4 "[]"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:

• In the famous [[kabuki[[play ''Kanadehon Chūshingura'', Yoshio (Kuranosuke) is known as Ōboshi Yuranosuke.

Thanks, BracketBot (talk) 07:11, 20 December 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Mbinebri. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions to Kira Yoshinaka because it appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.  Mbinebri  ^{talk ←} 06:02, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Comixology.png

profile photo out of date

How to take off the main profile photo of Sean and replace it with a more up to date photo? The present main profile photo of him is very out of date (from 1999), so it needs updated. I've added a new photo of him, with his permission, today. But how can it be made the one that is used in the sidebar summary type profile (I dont know what that is officially called).

Age wrong

The age of Sean listed here is wrong. How can the age be changed? Or can it be deleted altogether? I dont see any way of editing this 'sidebar main profile' type stuff.
