[edit] Runemarks
Hello. It seems to me that with your blanking you were probably attempting to address the copyright concerns by rewriting the article in your own words. I just wanted to let you know that although the article has been deleted, it can be recreated without prejudice as long as it does not duplicate text from another source. Just as a future note, in case you encounter this situation, it is considered unconstructive to remove the speedy deletion notices on an article that you have authored. You can place a {{hangon}} template on the article talk page and explain the situation on the article's talk page. Please let me know at my talk page if I can clarify any of this. You can also seek information on contributing to Wikipedia at our help desk, which is typically manned around the clock by volunteers. Thank you. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 02:45, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome to Novels WikiProject
Hi, and welcome to the Novels WikiProject! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to fiction books often referred to as "Novels".
A few features that you might find helpful:
- Our navigation box points to most of the useful pages within the project.
- The announcement and open task box is updated quite regularly. You can watch it if you're interested; or, you can add it directly to your user page by including {{WikiProject_Novels_announcements}} there.
While you are updating your userpage, don't forget our userbox {{Wikipedia:WikiProject Novels/Outreach/User WPNOVELS}}. - The project has a monthly newsletter; it will normally be delivered as a link, but other methods are available.
There are a variety of interesting things to do within the project; you're free to participate however much—or little—you like:
- Starting some new articles? Our article structure guidelines / template outlines some things to include.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask one of the members, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 09:35, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:World Book Day 2008 logo.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:World Book Day 2008 logo.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 20:50, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Advice, please re an editor deleting text and leaving an impolite message =
You were really helpful when I started a page on the novel Runemarks. I started again and thought I did a lot better, but was startled to find that another editor RHaworth had deleted large chunks of text and left an

tag and an impolite message. I think it's called biting in Wikipedia talk. And now I find that someone else has just blanked the page completely (even though I had a "underconstruction" sign up. I've restored the page for the moment but need advice. Obviously I need to edit the text to work within the novel project guidelines. But I thought the guidelines for editing behaviour suggest that editors who think text needs revising should say so on the talk page first. I also read somewhere that there are guidelines about not biting newbies (which neither of the editors who have attacked the Runemarks page seems to be paying any attention to). Runemarks, as a novel, fulfills the notability criteria for both the author and the number of copies sold. I started the page because it interested me and I wanted to try my hand at Wikipedia, and I've told a few people who've also read the book about it and suggested that they might like to contribute. They can't do that if it keeps getting deleted. Advice, please. I feel well and truly bitten.
