Speedy deletion of Mark Howard producer

A tag has been placed on Mark Howard producer requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. --   7   ^{| talk | Δ |}   22:22, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

May 2009

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Mark Howard (producer) has been reverted.
Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove unwanted links and spam from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. The external links I reverted were matching the following regex rule(s): \bmyspace\.com (links: http://www.myspace.com/marksrealmusic, http://www.myspace.com/marksrealmusic (redirect from http://www.myspace.com/marksrealmusic)).
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 17:35, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

1. Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Mark Howard (producer) do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia.  
   Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove unwanted links and spam from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. The external links I reverted were matching the following regex rule(s): \bblogcritics\.org\b (links: http://blogcritics.org/books/article/book-review-producing-hit-records-secrets/, http://blogcritics.org/books/article/book-review-producing-hit-records-secrets/ (redirect from http://blogcritics.org/books/article/book-review-producing-hit-records-secrets/)). If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, or similar site, then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest).

Conflict of interest

If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Mark Howard (producer), 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:

1. editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Thank you. --Orange Mike | Talk 03:54, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

According to your post at User talk:Kinu, you are some kind of friend or associate of his, and thus should follow our guidelines on conflict of interest. In addition, just because he was involved in a project or worked with a person does not mean that this is important enough that his name should be added to that article. These matters must be judged on a case-by-case basis, but your actions are verging on spamming to exaggerate his importance. --Orange Mike | Talk 12:33, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

Herman was not nominated for those Grammys - they were for albums, performers, etc.; we do not list everybody involved in creating a given album as a Grammy nominee/winner. --Orange Mike | Talk 18:28, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

Those wins do not make the producer notable; they make the album or performer notable. Certificates to hang on the wall, or even statuettes to set on the mantle, don't change that. --Orange Mike | Talk 00:32, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

There is a noticeboard for music-related requests at Wikipedia:WikiProject Music/Noticeboard. You will find more specialized knowledge there; but they will still expect you to observe our standards about notability, etc. I'm sorry that you don't find me more helpful, but I'm attempting to be honest with you here. --Orange Mike | Talk 00:50, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Reading

Sorry to add to your reading list, but this post is troublesome. Please carefully read over these two pages WP:AGF, WP:CIVILITY.    7   ^{talk | Δ |}   01:59, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Mark Howard (producer)

I've tried to tweak the images and did some other cleanup to the article. While I'm sure you feel a strong connection to the article, please remember that it's not "your" article and try to look at other editors as collaborators who can assist you. The next important thing to do with the article is to add reliable and verifiable sources. It does appear that Howard is notable, but the way to establish that is to add references from books, newspapers or magazines that support the events and descriptions in the article. Please try to look at articles for other producers and look at the code behind the articles to see how these refs can be added, and feel free to contact me with any questions.

Specific instructions on how to do citations can be found at WP:CITE. --Orange Mike | Talk 15:38, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Good start on sourcing. I've made a few more tweaks in the names of albums. To italicize put two single quotes to the left and two to the right of an album title or any other phrase. The double brackets were used where the album has an article. I hope this helps. Alansohn (talk) 16:01, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

The "missing" references were removed by another editor. You can click on the "history" tab of the article or click here to see who has made changes. The issue that the editor raised was that the two sources used a web site that copies Wikipedia content, and we can't use Wikipedia to source Wikipedia. Alansohn (talk) 00:22, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
