Dear Miranda, I honestly don't understand what I have done wrong with the Adrienne Kress article. It is original material, based on information I was given by the authot herself. What have I done wrong??? Arunadasi

Wikipedia doesn't allow original research. If you are the author herself, then it is strongly discouraged of you to not make the article, per autobiography and conflict of interest. I also believe, in my opinion, that the author is not notable for inclusion into the encyclopedia. Miranda 16:53, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Adrienne Kress

Dear Miranda, I certainly won't try to get Adrienne Kress back on Wiki until she has more reviews and interviews online, but regarding her notability I would like to point out that she has been already reviewed by Publisher's Weekly, and was named a Post Potter Pick by the NY Times. Her book has been praised (and blurbed) by author Eion Koffer, author of the best-selling Artemis Fowl series, and is poised to do very well indeed. I assume there is a point where you would regard her as notable , and I shall await that time.

As for conflict of interest: there is none. I am not her; I am Guyanese, she is Canadian; I am 56, she is quite young (judging from her photo). Neither is she a friend of mine. But I did read a review copy of her book and believe she is at the start of a brilliant career. Thank you for your time; the reviews mentioned above can be read on the following Amazon page:[1] sincerely, --Arunadasi 05:30, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Okay, I thought you were her, because you kept recreating the page after it was deleted. No worries or conflict of interest. I thought you were her publisher? hence, the recreation of articles. Miranda 05:58, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Use the tab marked new section or go straight in via edit and start the new topic as per here. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 16:39, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

But you can't just make an major change an article whenever you like, it doesn't matter who started it. Once its out there, you lose ownership of it. In this specific case, I knew that titles are controversial, which is why I opened a "request to move" rather than just move it. The debate that followed made it clear to me that I would have been wrong to do so, so I am pleased that I checked first.--John Maynard Friedman (talk) 17:04, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
