I see that you are trying to add an image. If you need any help, just reply here. Regards.  Velella  Velella Talk 10:21, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

Thanks! I've given up since I'm not sure about its copyright status. I found it on the website of one of her recent publishers (http://www.persephonebooks.co.uk/pages/authors/index.asp?id=26) but I don't know where they got it from. I might leave this to someone more experienced! LambsC (talk) 10:34, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

Neutral point of view
You wrote on your userpage, "I hope to be able to increase public awareness of many writers who are coming back into print". Keep in mind, Wikipedia is not here to promote even the noblest of causes. If these authors are not already notable, you can't post about them here in an effort to make them notable. You must not cross the line from retrieving obscure information (one of the things we do best), to outright lobbying and advertising. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  21:03, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

Please note that I said 'increase' awareness not 'create'. Of course these authors are notable. They were well-respected in their day, and are being reprinted for a reason. If there was no record of them other than my assertions then you'd be right in questioning their notability, but when they are mentioned in critical works, republished in the present day, and read and enjoyed by numerous people, then I see no reason to question their notability. What I am endeavouring to do is to 'retrieve obscure information', not create that information for myself.LambsC (talk) 09:41, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

role accounts are not permitted here
According to an e-mail received earlier today, this account is being used as a role account by more than one employee of Persephone Books, and is being used to edit the article about that firm as well. "I've just started at Persephone Books and have been asked to take over my predecessor's account and keep the company's Wikipedia page up to date."-- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  12:41, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for being used as a role account for COI edits. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.
