December 2016
Hello, I'm Zackmann08. Thank you for your recent contributions to Story Shots & Poetry Pints. I noticed that when you added the image to the infobox, you added it as a thumbnail. In the future, please do not use thumbnails when adding images to an infobox (see WP:INFOBOXIMAGE). What does this mean? Well in the infobox, when you specify the image you wish to use, instead of doing it like this:

SomeImage.jpg

Instead just supply the name of the image. So in this case you can simply do:

SomeImage.jpg.

There will then be a separate parameter for the image caption such as Some image caption. Please note that this is a generic form message I am leaving on your page because you recently added a thumbnail to an infobox. The specific parameters for the image and caption may be different for the infobox you are using! Please consult the Template page for the infobox being used to see better documentation. Thanks!

Hi, thanks for message. If you post an article it will be assessed as it stands. If you don't want that to happen, you should write it as a draft. User pages are for you to write about your activities on Wikipedia, and are not for promotion. I deleted your article because
 * it did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that he meets the notability guidelines for writers. It is now Wikipedia policy that biographical articles about living people must have independent verifiable references, as defined in the link, or they will be deleted. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to him or his publishers, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the he claims or interviewing him. You gave some references, but they were mostly reviews of his book rather than sources that show how he meets the notability criteria.
 * I can't see from what you have written how he meets those criteria. One book and some unspecified bits and pieces doesn't meet those criteria, and a collection of book reviews doesn't change that. Where are the literary prizes, books about him etc? He isn't even a full-time professional writer
 * it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. You have largely written about the book, not him, and cherry-picked favourable reviews of the book, which do not in any case prove notability. Examples of unsourced or inadequately sourced claims presented as fact include: bestseller... praised his literary work... depicting emotions of love and pain; betrayal, musical relationships, environmental awareness, homosexuality in fashion world, romance between the physically disabled and breaking stereotypes in the professional world to travel... There are poetries on romance, celebrating Durga Puja in the gullies of Kolkata, hostel life, professional experiences and describes the poet's inspiration from an introverted girl. It portrays contemporary literature in its narration of stories on thought-provoking societal issues and poetry on numerous sentimental events in an urban youth's life... popular Bollywood blockbusters... He is an adept ad-man and has contributed to the branding and marketing strategies of... He also writes regularly for the popular newspapers...
 * If you have a conflict of interest when editing this article, you must declare it. If you work directly or indirectly for for him or his publisher, or otherwise are acting on his behalf, you are very strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly. Regardless, if you are paid directly or indirectly by him or his publishert, you are  required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:    . If you are being compensated, please provide the required disclosure. Note that editing with a COI is discouraged, but permitted as long as it is declared. Concealing a COI can lead to a block. Please do not edit further until you respond to this message.

Before attempting to write an article again, please make sure that the topic meets the notability criteria linked above, and check that you can find independent third party sources. Also read Your first article. You must also reply to the COI request above Jimfbleak - talk to me?  05:45, 13 June 2018 (UTC)
