Talk:Marc Gunn

Untitled
I submitted my biography last week and it now says there is a copyright problem. Can you please explain? &mdash;the preceding unsigned comment is by 128.83.86.45 (talk • contribs) 2005-06-09 15:26:07 (UTC)


 * When we see a new article that's word-for-word the same as an existing website, we assume it's plagiarized from that site and hence a copyright violation. I notice that the source has a GFDL notice on it so I'll remove the copyvio notice. Writing an article about yourself is generally frowned on, though, see Vanity page. Also, please capitalize article titles correctly when creating them. DopefishJustin (&#65381;&#8704;&#65381;) 17:16, Jun 14, 2005 (UTC)

I think Marc is allowed to write the article about himself, as he is a minor celebrity. If Tom Petty submitted his own biography to the Wikpedia, would that be considered "vanity" ? Whotookthatguy 20:59, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

RfC: seems to violate "original research" policy
While I know Marc is a real person, this seems to be largely self-promotional and in violation of the original research policy. chupacerveza 17:56, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Hmmm, Or does permit citing oneself, provided that the information has been properly published somewhere. The larger problem seems to be with WP:Autobiography. The guideline is to first publish the article somewhere in userspace, and then reach consensus vis-a-vis notability, and then publish it. - super &beta;&epsilon;&epsilon; cat 05:13, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
