Halloween II
Please stop changing the year from 1 to 2. The image you have is from the clip on YouTube. Neither photos, nor YouTube videos are considered reliable sources. Secondly, the clip on YouTube is not from the film. It is from the E! Entertainment preview clip that aired months before the film was released. Zombie did not have control over the clip, just like he didn't have control over the trailers or the initial write-up of the film's plot. He has stated this. No where in the actual film did "2 years" get spoken or appear on screen.  BIGNOLE     (Contact me)  12:45, 18 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Please stop using unreliable sources to support your claim. I've seen the theatrical version of the film, and it doesn't say "2 years" anywhere. I don't know what you are watching that you saw it "Monday", but the edit warring needs to stop. Per WP:BRD. You were bold, you were reverted, and now you need to take it to the talk page. Please do not revert anymore. If you disagree so strongly, then you need to take it to the talk page. YouTube is not a reliable source, especially when early clips of the film before it was released contained misleading and inaccurate information.   BIGNOLE     (Contact me)  00:08, 19 December 2009 (UTC)


 * I don't know if you're the other person that just mysteriously appeared on the page. But a "pre-release" copy of the film isn't reliable either because not everyone can get access to that to verify anything. Secondly, if you're watching an unrated version then those differences would not change the plot summary of the page, since that is based solely on the theatrical version of the film (which never once stated anything about "2 years").

Beautiful Strangers (book)
Hello ,

It seems to me that an article you worked on, Beautiful Strangers (book), may be copied from http://www.ebooks-share.net/beautiful-strangers-the-masquerade-series-volume-1/. It's entirely possible that I made a mistake, but I wanted to let you know because Wikipedia is strict about copying from other sites.

It's important that you edit the article and rewrite it in your own words, unless you're absolutely certain nothing in it is copied. If you're not sure how to fix the problem or have any questions, there are people at the help desk who are happy to assist you.

Thank you for helping build a free encyclopedia! MadmanBot (talk) 01:31, 27 April 2013 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Beautiful Strangers (book)


The article Beautiful Strangers (book) has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Non-notable book (zero reviews in mainstream media come up on Google News search), so a long way from meeting WP:NBOOK. No content remains in the article after I deleted the copyvio inclusion of the book's back-cover blurb.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

And the photo is a photo of the book for this page so it is not copyrighted. It belongs with the page. Unsigned comment by Gshaunsweeney


 * Unless you own the copyright to the book's cover, taking and posting a photograph of it is normally a breach of copyright. Wikipedia argues that there are fair use exceptions to this, under the criteria at WP:NFCI. Specifically, the cover art of a book may be reproduced "for visual identification only in the context of critical commentary of that item (not for identification without critical commentary)" (emphasis in the original).  There is no critical commentary in Beautiful Strangers (book) so, unless you own the copyright to the book's cover artwork, using it in that article is in breach of Wikipedia's policy on copyrighted material.  That policy is very strictly enforced, since breaking it could get Wikipedia into legal trouble. Dricherby (talk) 20:59, 27 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Note: Although the images have now been deleted as copyvios, I read the license you uploaded them with. You stated that you, ie Gshaunsweeney, were the copyright holder of the images. Please familiarize yourself with Image use policy to avoid making mistakes in the future. Don't take this as a threat - just advice. If you ever have any questions about licensing or if there is something that you're not sure about, call me up on my talk page. Keri (talk) 21:07, 27 April 2013 (UTC)
 * There's now a third version of the image at File:Bs2.jpg. Dricherby (talk) 21:17, 27 April 2013 (UTC)

As explained at the deletion discussions, blogs and consumer reviews aren't generally considered an indication of significance because anyone can write a blog, including those closely connected to the author or publishing house. Newspaper reviews, or trade reviews in trade journals are preferred. However, to be fair to you, there may be exceptions, and this would usually be where (1) you can show that the author of the blog is notable, either as a blogger or an author of fiction herself (2) the blog itself is notable. By "notable" we mean that there are independent sources covering the subject; i.e. usually not other blogs, unless... (but let's not try to go round in circles too much).

Secondly, as an aside, the photo of Glenna that you provided is pretty awful photographic portrait snapshot taken with a phone camera or point and shoot camera. If you want to promote yourself as an author spend a few bucks on getting a makeover (nice haircut and make-up) and some studio shots done professionally. You obviously paid a few bucks to have the cover shoot done (either bespoke or stock photo), the same needs to be done with the portrait of Glenna. Good luck with the career.Barney the barney barney (talk) 13:53, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

Copyright problem on Lorien Legacies
Hello. I am Diannaa and I am a Wikipedia administrator. Plot descriptions cannot be copied from other sources, including official sources, unless these can be verified to be public domain or licensed compatibly with Wikipedia. They must be written in original language to comply with Wikipedia's copyright policy. The Wikipedia copyright policy and its application are complex matters, and you should not edit any more until you have taken the time to read and understand our copyright policy. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 20:58, 21 January 2019 (UTC)

I am sorry. I did not know but now I do. But I do have a question. In section 4 at the top in the contents section the books are no longer listed was this a mistake or was it done on purpose. It was changed from having 4 equal signs to having 2 apostrophes on each side. All the other titles on the page has the 4 equal signs though so that is why I added them.
