problems adding image from another site such as amazon.co.uk
 * You need to be careful in adding images from Amazon to ensure that they are freely-usable images. Generally Amazon holds some form of copyright on the image and thus you can't download it and re-upload to Wikipedia. Primefac (talk) 21:15, 10 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Such images are almost guaranteed to be copyrighted, non-free content. Their use is governed by the non-free content criteria, which severely restrict the use of non-free images on Wikipedia. For example, photos of living person are not acceptable. A book cover might be covered by fair use, though. Check the non-free content criteria, make sure the proposed use of the image will comply with all of them, upload it via the File Upload Wizard, provide an explicit fair use rationale, and add the image to the article as explained in the picture tutorial or the book infobox documentation.

 * I've deleted the article as almost every word of it was a copyright infringement. You can't just copy from another source that way.  Dennis 00:38, 25 September 2014 (UTC)

Final Warning
After having the article delete for copyright infringement, you go and infringe yet a different website and just copy their words when recreating the same article. If you do this again, you will be blocked. Copyright infringement is an issue we take very serious, and the community has made it clear that it won't be tolerated. Dennis 00:49, 25 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Dennis You are absolutely right. But perhaps you can just read what I have to say on the article's talk page and please calm down. I am a new user and while you had deleted the page I was editing it.--Shivamagg2008 00:52, 25 September 2014 (UTC)


 * We don't have a choice but to delete when the entire page is copyright infringement, policy demands it. Being new is fine, but you need to understand that all articles MUST be in your own words, and be supported by citations.  You can't just copy text, or even just move around their words (plagiarizing), it must be unique.  If the book hasn't been released, it is likely not notable enough for inclusion.  See WP:Notability (books). Dennis 00:55, 25 September 2014 (UTC)

Dennis Such articles are only accepted under criteria other than those provided in this guideline, typically because the anticipation of the book is notable in its own right. In such cases there should still be multiple independent sources providing strong evidence that the book will be published, which sources include the title of the book and an approximate date of publication. Wouldn't amazon.com and the publisher itself confirming the dates suffice also provided that Jeffrey Archer is a notable author with almost all his books being on the bestseller lists for more than 6 months from release and New York Times also praising him?--Shivamagg2008 01:04, 25 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Amazon is pretty useless for that. There are two different kinds of sources, those that prove that a fact is true or a thing exists (Amazon is ok for that).  Then there are sources that show that something is notable.  An article that simply mentions a book might prove it exists, but that doesn't make it notable.  A New York Times review of the books, well that is the gold standard for proving it is notable, although it doesn't require a newspaper that large.  Stuff like a "Goodreads" listing and review or reviews from similar websites doesn't show notability, although can be used to source a summary of the book.  "Existing" isn't good enough, it has to be shown to be truly notable, and Notability#books is THE standard for books here.  You can always create the article in user space, work on it, then when it gets released and a couple of major outlets review it, just move it into main space.  You do this by creating it as a sub page of your user or talk page. ie: User:Shivamagg2008/Mightier Than the Sword.  As long as it isn't infringing copyright, it doesn't matter if it is notable if it is in your userspace being worked on.  I do this all the time for large articles, it is a common method. I recommend asking an established editor before moving it into main space (doesn't need to be an admin, just anyone with 5k or more edits).  This way they can tell you if there is a shortcoming that needs addressing.  WP:AFC is another option, but not a good one for a book that isn't out yet. Dennis 01:18, 25 September 2014 (UTC)

Dennis Can you provide me with the text and data of that article so that I can keep it in my userspace?--Shivamagg2008 14:11, 25 September 2014 (UTC)
 * I can't because it wasn't your text, it was someone else's, a copyvio. You can't keep copyvio material even in user space.  Dennis 15:04, 25 September 2014 (UTC)
