Multiple issues tags[edit]

Besides looking like a cut-and-paste job, the article has a paragraph starting off with the letter, "I". The article needs cleanup to become more encyclopedic. ----moreno oso (talk) 00:21, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It seems to have been speedily deleted once before as well. --Skamecrazy123 (talk) 00:24, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Was it a PROD or CSD? ----moreno oso (talk) 00:35, 4 August 2010 (UTC)A[reply]

CSD. The reason given was A7: No explanation of the subject's significance (real person, animal, organization, or web content. --Skamecrazy123 (talk) 00:54, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, it appears you PROD'ed the article according to the creator's talkpage. I knew that before I tagged the article but wanted to see your answer. ----moreno oso (talk) 01:06, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The deletion log said otherwise... --Skamecrazy123 (talk) 01:10, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I believe that the article is informative, it is factual, and it cites major news sources like the Globe & Mail the Coast and the National Post. I am new to wikipedia and posting on here, so I did not do a good job referencing and citing the article the first time around. This time I had better references.

You have one (that I can see) reliable reference there. That is not what I would call significant coverage. --Skamecrazy123 (talk) 01:16, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, they are all reliable references. Tightrope Books is a reputable publisher (www.tightropebooks.com). TLA is also a reputable company - it is one of the biggest literary agencies in Canada (www.tla1.com). The National Post is a real Canadian newspaper that also publishes its content online. The Globe & Mail is also a Canadian newspaper with a website. The Coast is a Halifax newspaper. Modjaji is a South African publisher (Danila Botha's book came out in South Africa under that publishing company) (modjaji.book.co.za) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modjaji_Books). —Preceding unsigned comment added by GotNoSecrets (talk • contribs) 01:24, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

TLA is not a primary source as it represents the agent. ----moreno oso (talk) 01:27, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I moved the TLA page out of the references section and into the external links section. —Preceding unsigned comment added by GotNoSecrets (talk • contribs) 01:30, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Just out of interest, but do the citations have to be notable around the world in order to satisfy Wikipedias notability rules or can it be confined to a single country? --Skamecrazy123 (talk) 01:34, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Multiple issues tags[edit]

My name is Beth Carter. I saw Danila Botha read in Toronto and I really enjoyed "Got No Secrets". Her biography here is a composite of her biography from her literary agent and her publisher's websites.

I have cleaned it up and made the necessary adjustment to the accidental inclusion of "I". Also, I am new to posting on wikipedia, which is why this was accidentally deleted the first time around. —Preceding unsigned comment added by SugarHigh819 (talk • contribs) 00:51, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Then, who is the creator, User:GotNoSecrets? ----moreno oso (talk) 00:53, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The creator of what? --Skamecrazy123 (talk) 00:55, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I created GotNoSecrets first. When the page got deleted, I didn't know if I could use the same profile again so I created a new one. (Like I said, I am new to all of this.) I believe that Danila Botha is a talented young writer who will soon become a notable Canadian author. (I apologize for the confusion of having 2 profiles!) —Preceding unsigned comment added by SugarHigh819 (talk • contribs) 00:59, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hangon[edit]

I put the hangon simply because the speedy deletion criteria is incorrect (articles that have been previously speedy deleted are excluded from the category you have used) --Skamecrazy123 (talk) 01:02, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox[edit]

I recently added an author infobox to the page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Infobox_writer) but I cannot figure out how to remove the the tag "[[File:|frameless|alt=]]" from the top of the image. Not sure how to fix this. Any advice? --Emvern (talk) 17:50, 13 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
