This article reads less like the biography and bibliography of a minor British crime writer and more like a platform for the marketing of his books. Either his agent, his publisher or the author himself is editing this article. This must be against wikipedia policy surely? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.210.70.167 ( talk) 23:00, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
It does read like a press release with not enough encyclopedic information but more biographical promotional material. I have tried to format the stytle and included some more relevant citations and facts, but it still needs some work so will try and work on it more later as there is a lot of reliable third party information out there. 90.221.172.129 ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 05:14, 28 May 2010 (UTC).
I think the impression of this article as a marketing platform is dead on, after recent disclosures about the reviews of his own work, and that of others, which Mr. Ellory wrote under a pseudonym and has acknowledged. I would not be surprised to find this information, and references to it, removed from the article soon. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 166.20.224.11 ( talk) 16:44, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
Hi, I just received a message from R. J. Ellory on my talk page. I have advised filling in the description when making edits; using this talk page and taking the matter to Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard. I pointed out that the problem is that the material in "Personal life" is reliably sourced.
The talk page message reads:
"I do not understand what is happening here. Potentially libellous statements regarding myself and my work are being left on my wikipedia page, and I cannot remove them. This is grossly unfair, unjust and biased. Simply because an article appears in a newspaper does not make it true. Please could you assist me in resolving this issue. Many thank. R J Ellory. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.11.171.216 (talk) 20:58, 17 September 2012 (UTC)"

I have raised the matter at Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard/Archive162. Please add your input to that discussion. Esowteric+ Talk 08:36, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
Hello Mr. Ellory. I'm hoping that you will go to the biographies noticeboard, at Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard/Archive162, to give us your side of the story. What precisely do you feel is inaccurate in our article about you? I would hate for the discussion to close without your input. I look forward to hearing your side of the matter, so that the proper course, in accordance with Wikipedia guidelines, can be taken. Thank you. Qworty ( talk) 22:36, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
Please, please, please respond and state your case at Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard/Archive162 and not on my talk page. Thank you, Esowteric+ Talk 11:34, 19 September 2012 (UTC)
Recent edits to controversy (22 September 2012): Hi, could someone please check on whether they think that the Controversy section is undue and unbalanced? Qworty ( talk · contribs) ( edits diff) seems to think that this has been resolved here and on the subject Roger Ellory ( talk · contribs)'s talk page. The edit is inaccurate, as the cited source does not say that R. J. Ellory had been "disinvited" from the Manx festival but that he had pulled out. This edit may perhaps make the section even more unduly weighted. Many thanks, Esowteric+ Talk 08:58, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
If nobody minds I am going to remove this template "Autobiography|date=September 2012" in a few hours. There's no doubt the subject used to edit the article, but the last time he edited it a few months ago. Now everything is sourced. The tag should be removed because it is BLP violation on its own. 71.202.120.247 ( talk) 15:20, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
An image has been supplied by the subject. File:Roger Jon Ellory.jpg
Obviously, the subject prefers it, but the decision is ultimately the subject to a consensus of editors.
I think it should be used as a replacement, does anyone disagree?-- SPhilbrick (Talk) 12:09, 20 April 2013 (UTC)
