 * Hi - Thanks for the review. I'm new to doing any editing or articles for Wikipedia. Would it be better to just eliminate the references to Goodreads and Amazon altogether and have fewer citations? I originally thought that the links to Goodreads and Amazon could at least confirm the breadth of the work. I guess what I'm asking is if those particular citations were gone, would it be able to be approved? There were one or two other, older newspaper interviews that I was unable to locate online. If I find them in paper form, can I just cite them using a more traditional format? Thanks. Jason Halldorr22 (talk) 19:55, 8 May 2022 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Halldorr22. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Spam);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. S0091 (talk) 00:24, 15 May 2022 (UTC)

 * As of this moment, only the audiobook (League of the Lost Fountain) has a review and award (Best Young Adult Audiobook 2021) from Audiobookreviewer.com. It is citation #7 in the current revision.  Is that adequate, or are more required? Thank you. Halldorr22 (talk) 14:35, 21 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Pinging @Asilvering for you so they will be notified of your message. See Help:Talk pages for information.  Another tip using the "reply" function, is to click on the person icon then find/select the user and it will add a ping for you. S0091 (talk) 17:04, 21 May 2022 (UTC)
 * @Halldorr22 No, those reviews won't count, since audiobookreviewer.com is not a reliable source to judge notability (you can pay for reviews, so if you want one, you can get one). Basically, what we're looking for in an author to see if they should have an article or not is whether their books are notable (do at least two, but preferably more, pass the guidelines listed at WP:NBOOK?). The most common way to show this is to demonstrate that a book has multiple reviews published in mainstream sources like Kirkus. Alternatively, you can evaluate Jason Born himself against the criteria listed at WP:BASIC. But that is probably more difficult. -- asilvering (talk) 22:26, 21 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much for the thorough answer. That helped a lot. Have a wonderful day. Halldorr22 (talk) 11:28, 22 May 2022 (UTC)

 * Hi Greenman
 * Thanks for the feedback. Quick question. The Wikipedia article on Kirkus Reviews says that Indie Reviews cannot be influenced or changed (they are unbiased). And so (I'm certainly not arguing, just asking for clarification), since it is an unrelated third party that is well-respected, shouldn't that fit the bill for what Asilvering suggested back in May? If not, why?  Here is the link to the Wiki article on Kirkus Reviews. Thank you - Jason Halldorr22 (talk) 11:49, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

 * Thank you for the detail on declining the article. I better understand now. And while I respectfully disagree with the criteria used, it is nonetheless the criteria and I don't expect to single-handedly get them changed. I have no data to back up what follows, but I have a bit of confidence that it is correct. I'm fairly certain that any book published by Harper-Collins, Random House, etc. are "noticed" by Kirkus. Thank you again. I do appreciate your willingness to engage and explain. Jason Halldorr22 (talk) 18:15, 11 August 2022 (UTC)
