User talk:Dfduran

Hi Dfduran and thanks for your article about Janet Kay Jensen. Unfortunately, Wikipedia couldn't use it, since it incorporated slabs of text that had been copied directly from other sources. However, feel free to contribute a new article in your own words. Cheers --Rlandmann (talk) 06:35, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Flagging Janet Kay Jensen for further review

Hello, Dfduran … I recently encountered the article about Janet Kay Jensen and in my opinion, it either lacks sufficient Attribution that it satisfies the Notability criteria for Biographies, or it may violate the Conflict of interest guideline, or perhaps it violates a copyright.

I have created this initial entry on your Talk page because you are either the original author of the article, or else a recent contributor to it; I will leave more detailed information regarding my specific concerns about the article on its Discussion page … please respond either there or on this Talk page, instead of on my Talk page, in order to avoid fragmenting the conversation.

Be sure to read Ownership of articles, and remember that other editors may not share your opinion about the notability of the article's subject.

I do not mean to imply that your contribution is unappreciated … perhaps you should read Your first article … and remember, there was a time when I knew less about how Wikipedia works than you know right now. — Triwbe (talk) 18:18, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I am earnestly trying to post a new article about a local author. How can I get assistance to create this page? I've read the help files, but it must be above my level. Is there someone who can give me direct answers to editing questions?

Well, you need to find published references to the subject ... if they haven't been mentioned in the press, they're (by definition) not notable by Wikipedia standards ... reviews on the subject's publisher's website constitute a conflict of interest, and they are not considered an independent reliable source ... do you see where this is going?

Anywho, if I didn't remove the links to the online bookstores, then Some Other Editor (or a bot) would do it ... it takes a while to learn these things. :-)
