Talk:Eric Scull

I can see why, immediately, the detailed version of this page might be considered for speedy deletion. The page had formerly existed as a redirect to the wiki article "MuggleNet," which is not altogether troubling. However, I had just decided to create this page which already, not about halfway completed, features tons of links to Wiki's own articles and which will promote lots (and lots) of inter-website-travel. I suppose I decided to take a break from writing too early, but nevertheless I will indeed get to the point. My page, if allowed to continue, will be only about as relevant as that of my podcast article (MuggleCast) and website wiki article (MuggleNet). It's a biography of someone still living, moreover, a sort of autobiography as it is mainly me penning it, but for reasons beyond the heavy wiki promotion it will also exist as an account for one Harry Potter fan's success and achievements through the series and medium. It's not a sob story, or empowerment, and wants to know its place as a wikipedia article. If the editors feel that something like this would do better on MySpace or something more along those lines, then that is in fact okay and I will remove (or you will remove) the page but I do ask please instead that you simply redirect as it was before, to (MuggleNet). Still, I urge that this article will have relevance in that it will connect and/or explain several important events in history for a mass majority of fans of the Harry Potter series. I am not a fraud, I am the longest remaining staff member on MuggleNet.com besides the webmaster himself, and do have knowledge to share. Again, if this is not the place, please just tell me - I am kind and will take this all down.

Update: I have also begun to add sub-sections and categories which might help make this article's potential relevance more clear. If it does not, that is alright, and at least I tried indeed. Thanks, again, for considering. EricJScull 14:19, 6 August 2007 (UTC)


 * There is no source at all. Could you please read WP:BIO and also WP:BLP? &mdash; Indon ( reply ) &mdash; 14:33, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

I have read through those two pages and found the information helpful, but scary. I initially felt somewhat borderline on the field of self-publishing, though the website I promote has had many credible sources publish about it as well as I am mentioned in a published book ("Muggles and Magic", Specially Thanked at the beginning of "New Clues to Book Five" and I have been addressed specifically by J.K. Rowling, the author of the HP series, on her website at this link. I don't want to sound self-important at all, but I think I am desperately grasping for something I don't understand fully, even with that page. How do I even add sources to my page? I haven't seen the coding for that - I would be happy to include bibliographies of the books that mention me, but is that really a source? My website has also put out a book on its own - I just don't want to get removed before I have the opportunity to understand and fix my errors. Is there any way this page can be marked 'under construction' or something as opposed to potentially deletable? I would struggle to gain credibility however where I am it is 3am and I will need to be taking a long break very soon.... to my untimely ultimate demise? Thank you for reading this far... -Eric 15:06, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

Further information: I had tried adding some 'external links' just as a primary basis but somehow came to a peaceful understanding that I would probably do best to try again once I meet the qualifications more comfortably for everyone, including several wikipedia fans beyond myself who have spoken to me about this. I would like to remain a user to edit and refine other wiki pages I love (and will do so responsibly, I assure you) and for now have just returned this page back to a redirect. Thank you again for your speediness. Cheers! EricJScull 15:45, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
