I notice in some of your recent edits you have been adding sorting information to category tags in articles containing the {{ DEFAULTSORT}} tag. This is unnecessary, as the purpose of the {{ DEFAULTSORT}} tag is to automatically specify category sorting information.
So, for instance, in the article Stephen Dedman, which contains the tag {{DEFAULTSORT:Dedman, Stephen}}, all the category entries are automatically sorted "Dedman, Stephen", so you do not need to add that information to each individual tag; you only have to add sorting information to any categories (if there are any) that should be sorted differently.
I hope this is clear; feel free to ask any questions that occur to you. -- Paul A 12:41, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, but all Wikipedia articles must meet our criteria for inclusion (see What Wikipedia is not and Deletion policy). Since it does not seem that Brimstone Press meets these criteria, an editor has started a discussion about whether this article should be kept or deleted.
Your opinion on whether this article meets the inclusion criteria is welcome. Please contribute to the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Brimstone Press. Don't forget to add four tildes (~~~~) at the end of each of your comments to sign them.
I also nominated:
Discussions such as these usually last five days. In the meantime, you are free to edit the content of the article. Please do not remove the "articles for deletion" template (the box at the top). When the discussion has concluded, a neutral third party will consider all comments and decide whether or not to delete the article. -- Jreferee ( Talk) 02:04, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see Wikipedia:Business' FAQ. For more details about what constitutes a conflict of interest, please see Wikipedia:Conflict of Interest. Thank you.
Let me add something to what Jreferee said above. If you are in fact connected with the articles you've been creating and editing, you should not participate in those deletion discussions unless you reveal your connections. Even if you have a conflict of interest, you may still always use the article talk pages to suggest article improvements, but you'll need to avoid editing the articles in most cases. Please read WP:COI for full details. - Jehochman Talk 02:18, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
Hi Jreferee and Jehochman. Here is a copy and paste of what I said on the Brimstone Press AfD discussion (and which i'll paste into the other AfD discussions to play it safe):
I can see how it looks like a cross promotion for Brimstone Press but i've been linking to all linkable publishers I could find in the Australian horror writers bibliographies and it looks like Brimstone has published most of them at least once. Other publishers i've been linking are MirrorDanse Books, Ticonderoga Publications and Andromeda Spaceways Inflight Magazine. The stub articles I wrote don't have alot of references but you'll find every one of them has at least one reference or note that comes from a verifable third party . Obviously the references are not complete but i'm working on that! This really is a genuine attempt to build a referenced wiki of Australian horror, not spam! -- Outcast44 14:06, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
