East Harlem
I'm very glad you're expanding this article, especially on its vital connection with entertainment and culture. But please remember that we need to footnote whatever new facts we add to an article, and that "ALL CAPS" is not used for names. cheers, ScottyBerg (talk) 01:47, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

Please be careful not to insert article content into policies, as you did on Biographies of living people. Gigs (talk) 15:38, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

Multiple accounts
I notice that the account User:PanBaccha has edited some of the same articles. There is nothing wrong with having multiple accounts if they don't pretend to be two different people. I suggest that you record on the user page of both accounts that the other account exists. Thanks, ScottyBerg (talk) 17:21, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

Cullen Dorn novel
I notice that you've added references of a promotional nature to the novel "The Hierophant Of 100th Street" to East Harlem and other articles. This novel is not notable, therefore it is not significant enough so as to warrant inclusion in the body of the East Harlem article, and certainly not in the list of books and articles at the end. You will note that the list consists of nonfiction work, and that the books/authors mentioned in the body of the East Harlem novel are significant enough (e.g., Piri Thomas) that they have articles of their own on Wikipedia. Please observe the policy WP:NOTADVERTISING. ScottyBerg (talk) 14:56, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

Hello? If you feel that the novel deserves to be in the article, please make that case on the talk page. Please don't "edit war," and keep in mind that WP:3RR prohibits more than three reversions in the space of the day. The burden is on you to prove that this novel is significant enough to be added to the article in the two places that you wish to add it. ScottyBerg (talk) 20:33, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

Scotty Berg ... just what is the problem here. My name is Cullen Dorn. I was born and raised on the streets of East Harlem from 1947 till 1991 when I had left to venture south. Some seventeen years later I had, against all odds in American publishing, successfully wrote my autobiographical accounts in Nonfiction Novel for which I had garnered two book awards, plus Book Of The Month (Feb. 2010). I am perhaps one of the very last survivors to have come out of 100th Street, the most infamous neighborhood (NY Times & Daily News) in East Harlem's criminal history. The street was considered 'the mecca of heroin' controlled by the Italian mob who operated from there. Countless friends, relatives, and associates have died either from drug overdose, gang warfare, or accidental deaths. I survived! To tell the story! Of a forgotten time! I do not care to fence with you anymore on this matter. I do not look for publicity anymore than the other names mentioned (whom I actually know) are mentioned in their rightful places. East Harlem was not an easy journey for any of us who have survived its wild frontiers then. So I leave it with you. Take care. Panbaccha (talk) 22:08, 17 October 2010 (UTC)Cullen Dorn


 * Thanks for your response. I appreciate what you're saying, but ordinarily it is problematic for a person to promote his own works on Wikipedia. While not prohibited as best I know, it's discouraged. See WP:COI. ScottyBerg (talk) 22:53, 17 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Just a few more remarks, as I didn't want to convey the wrong message. I just wanted to emphasize that I meant what I said initially about the East Harlem article, that the article needs expansion and that your contributions are definitely welcome and encouraged. Same with any other subject that interests you. Where it gets hairy is on subjects that are directly related to yourself personally, as COI is a perennial subject of angst at this website. I actually have some personal roots in EHarlem myself, though nothing quite so distinguished as yours. ScottyBerg (talk) 17:04, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to East Harlem. While objective prose about beliefs, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you. ''Please stop promoting your book on Wikipedia. You have been politely requested to desist in the past. You need to stop. '' ScottyBerg (talk) 01:03, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
