Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added 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.

Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. MrOllie (talk) 13:31, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

MrOllie is correct. Yours is a self-published source, a blog; not a reliable source. Your obvious conflict of interest in posting links to "Loaded Questions featuring Kelly Hewitt" is quite beyond the pale. --Orange Mike | Talk 17:25, 26 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sharon Kay Penman

Hi. I see that you're editing the Sharon Kay Penman article, which is nice, since I've been trying to bring up the quality of the article. I assume you're the Kelly Hewitt who interviewed Penman for the Loaded Shelf. Unfortunately the version of your interview I was able to retrieve from the site does not include the information about Penman's middle name. Certainly it's nice to have that information in the article, but it does need to be verified with a reference. Perhaps you have another longer version of your interview that's published somewhere? If so, then add it to the ref list at the bottom of the article, or even add it here, and I'll be happy to change the citation. Thanks. Truthkeeper88 (talk) 00:47, 23 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Truthkeeper88 -- there are indeed two interviews I did with Sharon Kay Penman two years apart. The interview that contains the information about Penman dropping the name "Kay" in the UK is included in the October 2008 interview which is cited correctly in citation 5 of Penman's wiki page. Perhaps you accidentally looked at the 2006 interview? Both are cited on the page each for a different fact that I added to her page. Here is the 2008 interview that has the information about the middle name: Loaded Questions Interview with author Sharon Kay Penman - October, 2008.

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:

editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
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.

Sharon Kay Penman

I'm a dedicated bibliophile as well. The Sharon Kay Penman page was a sad article when I came to it. I'd love to collaborate/advise on other author pages. Will be offline for a day or so, and am helping with copyediting, but leave any questions here and I'll get back to you. Happy editing and reading!

Signing your posts

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when.
