User talk:Tap Stevens

Hey! Just wanted to let you know why I deleted the bit about the award winners at the bottom. They're already listed elsewhere in the article for each year, so it's just a little redundant to list them again at the end, is all.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 15:58, 11 December 2011 (UTC)tokyogirl79[reply]

• In any case, it's good to see this article getting some love from someone other than me! Here's generally what I do for this article: I don't usually update it for each round since the only ones that really matter are the finalists for each category. The thing to watch out for is that you don't get caught up in the now of the contest since what is going on now might not be notable a year from now when the next round comes along. BTW, would you be interested in helping me do some research to create articles for some of the past winners? I was thinking of creating them on my user page until I've found enough sources to prove that they pass WP:AUTHOR. Two heads would be better than one, after all! Most specifically, I was thinking of creating pages for Bill Loehfelm and Jill Baguchinsky since they're the ones I'm most familiar with. The biggie will be finding sources since I know that a few of the authors haven't really gotten much attention outside of the contest.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 16:07, 11 December 2011 (UTC)tokyogirl79[reply]

Just wanted to give you a heads up. Be very VERY careful about promoting yourself on your user page. Stuff like that is considered promotion and can end up getting deleted by one of the admins or worse- end up with you being blocked. I highly recommend that you remove the bits about your book being available on Amazon and tone the promotion down. Please read WP:ADVERT and WP:PROMO to see what I'm talking about. You don't have to remove everything about you being a writer, just make it seem less promotional. I know that you're probably thinking "but it's my user page and it's supposed to be about me and what I do", but there's actually a wp:speedy deletion process for removing promotion on user pages, so please be careful!
