User talk:RolandJReganJr

Welcome!
Hello, RolandJReganJr, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you created or edited appears to be an article about yourself. Creating an autobiography is a common mistake made by new Wikipedians—as this is an encyclopedia, we wouldn't expect to have an article about every contributor. We require individuals to meet Wikipedia's definition of a notable person to accept articles about them.

The page you created about yourself may well be deleted from the encyclopedia. If it is deleted and you wish to retrieve its contents, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page. If your contributions to an existing article about yourself are undone and you wish to add to it, please propose the changes on its talk page.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome! &#8212;CX Zoom[he/him] (let's talk • {C•X}) 23:41, 29 June 2022 (UTC)

 * Hi CX,
 * This is actually Andrew LoVuolo, a client of Roland Regan Jr. who is legit using his name and email since I'm a NOOB to Wikipedia and had no need or interest to be a FT editor here, but I offered to help Roland get some form of article up since his dad, whom he wrote about in his book FROM BOSTON TO BERLIN was a person of note (in my eyes) and I was hoping to make this a springboard to get his dad some notoriety through this article as well as the book already a long time in print. Roland has become a good friend while working on the refreshed website for him in recent months and I just wanted to help create a page that gave some history on him as an author and personality who co-wrote a notable book compiling his dad's letters and photos from WWII as welll as those from user submitted photos from that era and event in Global history.
 * Being a "noob" I'm finding that there are a lot of checks and balances in place to ensure that people aren't "spamming" and setting up personal extension of their own bios or personal website here - and I get it. At the same time, like any other historical database, there are flaws in the info on some of the things I've found in a quick vanity check on myself and references that I DID find on here connected to my 2001 entrance into the comic book industry with my first title THE RIFT. While I'm apparently not notable to have my own article written on here (yet), I read one FILLED with info on my original publisher ROARING STUDIOS that then became DABEL BROTHERS PRODUCTIONS, then DB Pro and then whatever other name they were hiding under. Their page listed my book as a failure in sales...(citation still waiting to be found at least) meanwhile it omitted the fact that just at my second book was supposed to be IN STORES they cancelled the line of both my book and my high school and hometown friend's book Waterdogs, without any warning and killing all orders from Diamond Distributors at that time with no chance of me getting those orders back. We sold 1,500 books initially before reorders. Image Comics was a best-seller at 4k units back then. I've since sold all but under 100 of the 3,000 unit run. The biggest hit was that MOST comics lose 50% in sales between the first and second issues due to collectors who ONLY buy #1 dropping off. WE ONLY DROPPED TWO ORDERS. Anyway, my point is that even with all of these fact checks...bigger more important parts of the story are omitted by the editors or writers of that story and I'm sure countless others.
 * The bit about the "amicable split" between Marvel and DB Pro? Also an untruth. The public record shows that to save both companies face, but the truth was far worse and despicable and only those people there like my college friend Bill Tortolini, know the real truth. I won't go into it as not to be libel against my former publishers, but just think about any other amicable split where two companies partner and then one walks out LOSING all of their copyrighted material and clients save for a few while the others transferred to the bigger company. Hmmmmmmm.
 * Anyway, I'm just hoping to see how to properly use Wikipedia's rules and regulations put up nothing but true info on my friend whose book is truly an incredible documentation of one of the world's biggest wars that I honestly believe is noteworthy for this or any other site. I know that you don't know me and that YES I COULD be Roland Regan Jr. himself, but I'm not. He's an older gentleman and a well educated lawyer, but he's not tech savvy and so I offered to sign up under his name and to write my first Wiki article to learn what this experience was all about as a long time reader and reference user of the site, but first time contributor.
 * Thank you for your time, CX. I look forward to your input, feedback and coaching in your next available reply.

 * Sorry, CX, As a noob I didn't see the note about signing with the four tildes.. Also I'm hoping that this is a private chat since I've posted some truths that I thought were to be kept confidential on here and not searchable. Hopefully TALK pages remain private between the user and Admins.
