Talk:Graham Jones (director)

Untitled
This shouldn't be merged. If Graham shouldn't have his own wiki, neither should the other CV characters.

Maybe it shouldn't be merged - but it does need clarified, especially for people not familiar with whatever Castlevania may be. As a MINIMUM we need an introductory paragraph in the same style as Camilla (Castlevania). Can someone familiar with the subject please contribute? 194.206.39.97 15:36, 23 March 2006 (UTC)


 * The above comment is not about this article's subject, but a fictional character with the same name.

Graham Jones?
A page like this referring to a living person is confusing is another living person also has the same name. I am the author Graham Jones (28 books published). I want to make it clear this page is not about me. Every time I do that someone edits out my comment. Biography pages about living people are fine. But they need to be revised so that living people with the same names can be distinguished. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.183.136.194 (talk • contribs)


 * Ok, a couple of points (1) you claim you are an author called Graham Jones, that can't be proven but we assume good faith here; (2) other links you have placed on Wiki according to your edit record have also been removed by other editors, due to notability/value-add issues; (3) if you or other people with the name "Graham Jones" were notable under WP:BIO then they/you would have a Wiki entry already, or could have requested it; (4) the other notable Graham Jones listed here before is now simply a link to another entry, and he creates more Google hits than you or the actor now listed. You could have placed a disambiguation point at the top, but seem to insist on externally linking the piece you put in the main page - making me think that you want to create coverage/link to your own site as opposed to mainly a point of clarity: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and does not add external links unless they add value to a reader of an article - see WP:EXT. A number of ways to address your concerns - but first question: do you pass WP:BIO? Rgds, --Trident13 13:20, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

OK - I understand. But if you search for "graham jones" on Google you will see that I come up with the 1st entry, the 6th entry and the 7th entry on the front page alone. I can provide copies of the book contracts I have signed to confirm that the books listed in Amazon for Graham Jones are indeed written by me. As for providing a link to my web site - it's the only way I could provide clarification because I cannot set up a page for "graham jones" as that is already done for someone else. How else do I clarify things without linking to the real me? I really do live Wikipedia, but its way of referring to living people needs a complete overhaul. At the moment people searching are denied knowing about me and my work, as they are denied about knowing other notable names if they are the same name as other notable names.
