 * hi there, nice work. i will return the creative commons licensed photo of her to the infobox. if you could get permission of a better author's photo through the email wp:otrs process that would be fine too. also you left in the "file:" prefix in the infobox which is not required. keep up the good work.

Announcements for new books and links to commercial sites
Hello Thebigleebowski, I noticed that a lot of your edits added announcements for new, sometimes unreleased, books and links to commercial sites. Please make sure to read WP:PROMO and WP:EL (especially WP:ELNO). Links "that primarily exist to sell products or services" are generally prohibited, and the amount of "official" links should be kept to a minimum (usually 1 per article, with some exceptions). Also, just in case, if you are connected to these authors or their publisher in any form, you need to disclose this connection - see WP:COI and WP:PAID for more information. Best regards.
