 * I'm sorry I had to put this on hold; I've tried to explain.


 * In plain English; we need to know why is this person notable? - and for that, we need evidence of people writing about him.


 * You do not become 'famous' by writing a book; you get famous if people write about the books you have written.


 * We need some proof of notability, such as newspaper articles, magazine articles, or something like that, about this person.


 * Please see WP:VRS. I sincerely hope this helps, best,  Chzz  ► 04:32, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

Link updating; some tools
Hi. Yes, it was my error in reverting, I misread the situation, and again my apologies; I think that I have undone those. To find a link to a site used at a wikipedia, you can use Special:LinkSearch, so for this situation special:linksearch/*.carnivorousplants.it and you can do zh: like zh:special:linksearch/*.carnivorousplants.it. To help out here, I will have out link watching bots generate a report, it will soon be at m:User:COIBot/XWiki/carnivorousplants.it. So do your updates, and give me a prod and I can have the report regenerated.

To note that there is also an external link tool https://wikipediatools.appspot.com/linksearch.jsp?set=major&link=carnivorousplants.it  but it doesn't cover every wiki. — billinghurst  sDrewth  00:50, 17 December 2017 (UTC)
 * To help out, I have run a tool through and updated links at zhWP (hoping that they are all one for one url changes. As it is your book, and could be considered a Conflict of interest, and possibly a case of paid editing, I would encourage you to put the suitable declaration on your user page. It is also important to do link summaries to help people understand what is happening, so even a summary like: "site migrating, link updates" is really useful; or you can make a statement here on your talk page about tasks being undertaken and then just point to this one place from across the wikis. Need a hand then try Teahouse which houses our eminently tolerant and helpful people.
 * en, zh, pt, ja sites all cleared of old domain links. vi and ar WPs still remaining, and I have to get permissions adjusted to use my tool at those sites, so may be a day or two to get extra permissions done. — billinghurst  sDrewth  01:50, 17 December 2017 (UTC)

woow, thank you very much!! now I'll try to understand how to put the declaration on my page. I knew there had to be an easier way to do this instead of me going page after page trying to imagine where my link could hide and change it manually :D Rafflesiana (talk) 13:29, 17 December 2017 (UTC)
 * I think that all sites are now done. I would suggest performing a link search isolating wikipedia/wikimedia.org at your favourite search engine to confirm. — billinghurst  sDrewth  08:10, 18 December 2017 (UTC)

I read the two pages about COI and paid content. The closest option to my case is the apparent coi, because people could go from the pdf to my homepage, where I have my books. Although this wasn't a problem in the last seven years, as carnivorousplants.it is the same site, working in the same way and having the same content. Unfortunately I seem to be the only host for this type of content (Indochinese Nepenthes pdfs). There' no declaration for the apparent COI, I read that I'm supposed to talk with a trusted editor and/or disclose personal information. I think this already happened when I started wandering around wikipedia and begin working with the editor mgiganteus1, here above. But he's been very busy in the last year, I couldn't ask him to go around and change all my carnivorousplants.it over the world wp. If there's a declaration form or personal information that I should leave somewhere, no problem, just tell me how and pretend that you're talking to an 80 y.o. in regards to handling computers, I mostly work on a copy/paste basis :D Rafflesiana (talk) 14:27, 17 December 2017 (UTC)
 * I would have said a simple text declaration along the lines of "Published naturalist, may reference published works at my website." Up to you whether you do a link or not. I would suggest that it be put at m:User:Rafflesiana (global user page) so it displays at every wiki within WMF. — billinghurst  sDrewth  08:13, 18 December 2017 (UTC)

PS. To get my attention just try a template like — billinghurst  sDrewth  01:03, 17 December 2017 (UTC)
