Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Kelsey Dayton has been reverted. Your edit here to Kelsey Dayton was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (http://stanfordnovelsalon2011.blogspot.com/2011/09/kelsey-dayton-bio-im-from-rohnert-park.html) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, fansite, or similar site (see 'Links to avoid', #11), then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest). If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 11:42, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

Sorry, but...
Publication through lulu does not count as being 'a published author' here. Lulu is, like AuthorHouse and PublishAmerica, a self-publishing operation. There have been a few cases of self-published authors getting articles on Wikipedia, but very few indeed. For any author, good coverage in reliable independent sources WP:RS is essential, and this must be more than an article in the local press and the author's own website. For a self-published author, more is required, as self-publication lacks the screening process of the established commercial publishing houses (and co-operative operations such as Bloomsbury). Yes, the big boys can make a mistake and publish something that won't even sell when remaindered at 50 cents - but it's not often. Yes, they can miss on something good - J.K. Rowling was turned down a few times by houses that will have been kicking themselves ever since. Keep up the writing - and do keep up trying to get 'proper' publication. The percentage profit from self publication can be higher, but a lower percentage of a greatly bigger sale is better than a higher percentage of very little. And it gives more time for the next book - no marketing to worry about, except for (publisher arranged) signing tours. Good luck. When there is something that merits an article here, you'll find someone has already written an article about it... Peridon (talk) 15:53, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
