Sorry it took so long for someone to welcome you aboard. Regarding this entry in your page log:  7Lawrence moved page Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Christopher J. Holcroft to User:Articles for creation/Christopher J. Holcroft: Wikipedia warning it is in the wrong area. Apologies.

Your article was in the correct location, the warning was simply that the sandbox template was still in place when you article was no longer in the sandbox. I have moved it to the correct location. This section header should be the link. We will be looking at your article soon, but you can continue to work on it in it current location if you like.

I can tell from your article that you are familiar with HTML. The Wiki uses a special extension of HTML that make many tasks very simple. You can review some of the information at

WP:MARKUP.  Happy Editing. --  :- ) Don 02:11, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply

Conflict of interest

Hello, 7Lawrence. We

welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article The Scott Morrow Adventure Trilogy, you may need to consider our guidance on conflicts of interest
.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

  • Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
  • Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
  • Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
  • Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see

our frequently asked questions for organizations
. Thank you.


This warning is based on the photograph you took of the subject and included in the article. Given that it appears to be taken in a studio setting and not at a public event (e.g., book signing), it suggests that you have access to or some (business?) relationship with the author. —C.Fred (talk) 03:11, 26 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard

to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/The Afterlife Series, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

  • It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See
    Wikipedia:FAQ/Business
    for more information.
  • It is a rejected submission at
    section G13 of the criteria for speedy deletion
    .)

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by

Hello 7Lawrence. It has been over six months since you last edited your

WP:AFC draft article submission, entitled "The Scott Morrow Adventure trilogy
".

The page will shortly be deleted. If you plan on editing the page to address the issues raised when it was declined and resubmit it, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}} or {{db-g13}} code. Please note that Articles for Creation is not for indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia

mainspace
.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you want to retrieve it, copy this code: {{subst:Refund/G13|Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/The Scott Morrow Adventure trilogy}}, paste it in the edit box at this link, click "Save page", and an administrator will in most cases undelete the submission.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing.

Alert request for enforcement

Editorial additions have been been made without consultation by this user that are contentious , containing extraneous details largely unrelated to the life and career of the subject. They exhibit personal bias and are of limited interest. Edits have been made to address these issues by reediting https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=M._H._Holcroft&oldid=691803684 and the reasons for this have been consistently and clearly identified. No reasons have been identified in the corresponding edits of editor against who this complaint is lodged. The additions are of peripheral and limited interest to the topic of the subject and appear out of all proportion to the life and subject of the wikipedia entry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Reluctanteditor2 (talkcontribs) 09:00, 22 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination of Christopher Holcroft for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Christopher Holcroft is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Christopher Holcroft until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Cordless Larry (talk) 06:37, 14 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Notability

Regarding

significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the topic. Your comments about his involvement in the scouts and the military do not establish notability as we understand that term on Wikipedia, unless someone has written about this involvement. Cordless Larry (talk) 06:32, 3 August 2016 (UTC)[reply

Also, can I ask you to consult Wikipedia:Conflict of interest and declare any relationship that you have with Holcroft? I see this issue raised above, but you don't seem to have responded to the request. Cordless Larry (talk) 06:45, 3 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
In fact, your signature here suggests that you are Christopher Holcroft. If that is the case, you need to read Wikipedia:Autobiography. Cordless Larry (talk) 07:15, 3 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Enough of this...

For five years you have tried to put yourself on Wikipedia. You don't seem to understand that 1) you are not notable, 2) that you may not use Wikipedia for free advertising, 3) that you may not write about yourself on Wikipedia, and 4) in case you missed it the first time, that you are not notable. The explanation of these issues, I see, has been attempted several times, but apparently you don't want to listen. So you have a few choices: 1) Stop doing what you are doing, and contribute in a more productive way to Wikipedia, or 2) Stop doing what you are doing, and spend your time doing something else other than Wikipedia. In either case, the key is that you need to stop what you are doing. MSJapan (talk) 00:33, 12 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit the content of User:7Lawrence/Christopher Holcroft during the discussion but should not remove the miscellany for deletion template from the top of the page; such a removal will not end the deletion discussion.

Notice

The book Book:The Holcroft Authors has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

1 page book. Download as PDF feature is simpler for 1 page.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, books may be

deleted for several reasons
.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated book prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the book's talk page.

Please consider improving the book to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated book prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes still exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and the miscellany for deletion process allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. ‑‑Trialpears (talk) 21:25, 22 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
