User talk:AaronJLawler

Welcome!
Hello, AaronJLawler, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Black Rose Writing, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may not be retained.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type help me on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Questions or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! GABgab 21:52, 20 February 2017 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Black Rose Writing


A tag has been placed on Black Rose Writing requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, 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 from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. GABgab 21:52, 20 February 2017 (UTC)

On those images
As I noted on your book's deletion discussion, your giving verbal permission to someone to share the images from your book is not sufficient for Wikipedia's purposes. WP has its own ass to cover, legally, and is also a large source for images used by others, who count on a certain scrupulousness being maintained. For the images you've drawn, you can either submit permission yourself on Wikipedia, or post them elsewhere with proper permission markings. For more on this, see Donating copyrighted materials.

The cover image is more problematic. For one thing, you may not own the cover image; unless you had some sort of work-for-hire contract with David King, he likely holds the relevant copyright. To make matters more problematic, the version of the cover that was uploaded looks to be Amazon's versions, on which Amazon has stamped certain things, so Amazon at least arguably holds a copyright to it. Having said that, should the article survive, it could include a low-resolution image of the cover (although we should avoid Amazon's version), as low-resolution of covers to illustrate an article about the book are considered to meet fair use standards.

What should you do for now? Probably nothing. The permissions for the images is unlikely to change the outcome of the article's deletion discussion in any way that I can imagine. Should the article survive, then the image permissions can be addressed. --Nat Gertler (talk) 15:02, 21 February 2017 (UTC)

Your user page
Aaron!

You recently copied over the content from your book's article over to your main user page. I'm afraid that runs into our WP:FAKEARTICLE guideline. Let me recommend that you remove that from your user page. --Nat Gertler (talk) 14:40, 24 February 2017 (UTC)

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either: This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.
 * 1) Add four tildes  ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment; or
 * 2) With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button (Insert-signature.png or Signature icon.png) located above the edit window.

I know you've been trying to enter the signature by hand, but the automatic signature done by signing with the tildes both ensures accuracy and handles some other things in the Wikipedia process. Nat Gertler (talk) 17:38, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
