Disambiguation link notification for March 4
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Zenith Lives!: Tales of M.Zenith, the Albino, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page George Mann (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Proposed deletion of Against Nature (Obverse Books)

The article Against Nature (Obverse Books) has been proposed for deletion  because of the following concern:
 * I cannot find significant discussion of this book in reliable sources per WP:NBOOK. Google search results in bookshop sites, blogs, and social media.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. ... disco spinster   talk  02:36, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

WP:BURDEN and Obverse books
Claims of notability without actually providing reliable third party sources about the specific subject are as meaningless as a fart in a windstorm. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  17:10, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
 * also take a look at WP:NOTINHERITED just because something related to something may be notable, the other subjects notability does not rub off and make the other thing notable. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  17:12, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

Potential conflict of interest
Based on the fact that your user name is one of primary individuals involved in the articles that you have been editing:

Hello, StuartDouglas. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

 * 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.
 * Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content 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 a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  17:48, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Please stop making edits to subjects directly related to your business. You should instead use the talk page and make suggestions. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  11:28, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

 * Hi Stuart, I do think it would be a good idea to keep your head down and not edit the Obverse Books article, or any article directly related to OB's publications. You can alert editors to news coverage of your publications through the talk page, but I would also suggest hanging back a bit and giving your readers a chance to pick up on this coverage through your website and social media first.Rankersbo (talk) 09:53, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Fair enough - it seems (even on a site as mentally challenging as Wikipedia) an odd idea that a person who knows about a thing shouldn't talk about that thing or post links to that thing (esecially since I don't post links to other links on either the website or the our facebook/twitter page only the announcements themselves - and apparently these places aren't reliable enough anyway), but hey ho, that wouldn't even make the top twenty inanities on Wikipedia :) StuartDouglas (talk) 11:33, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

Those are suggestions there is no prohibition from editing a COI area. I'd just understand that if people know they scrutinize you more. For example I wrote Dax Charles article, I know this person personally, that didn't mean I couldn't write the article I just had to make sure it was sourced with WP:RS and followed WP:NPOV.

Orphaned non-free media (File:NinniesCoverObverseBooks, 2013.jpg)
Thanks for uploading File:NinniesCoverObverseBooks, 2013.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 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 'file' 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 "File" 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. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:12, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

May 2013
Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. Hell In A Bucket (talk) 11:55, 14 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the advice. Appreciated.StuartDouglas (talk) 12:27, 14 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Don't log out to edit war, as you did with . It's deceptive and will get you blocked. Consider this your only warning. Reaper Eternal (talk) 13:01, 14 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Since I did no such thing, as easily demonstrated, what possible basis do you have for this warning?StuartDouglas (talk) 14:21, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

regarding "agendas"
Yes, i do have an "agenda", to keep Wikipedia an encyclopedia whose articles meet the WP:N requirement for a stand alone article so that Wikipedia remains an encyclopedia and WP:NOT a free advertising platform or free fan wiki.

Your agenda appears to be one to keep promoting items which enhance the visibility of the franchise for which you write and publish, which is an agenda which is specifically prohibited. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  12:20, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

An article you recently created, Ann Sears, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?)

Jane Pratt

Jane Pratt (born November 11, 1962) is the founding editor of Sassy, Jane and xoJane. She is the host of the talk show Jane Radio on Sirius XM Radio.

Early life
Jane Pratt was born in San Francisco, California, to Sheila Marks Blake, an artist, and Vernon Pratt, a minimalist painter and professor of art at Duke University. Her mother grew up in Queens, New York, and her maternal grandfather, Joseph Marks, was a vice-president of the Doubleday publishing company. Her paternal grandfather was Gaither Pratt, a paranormal psychology researcher at the University of Virginia. Pratt's parents were divorced when she was 13.

She was raised in Durham, North Carolina, and attended Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts, at the age of 15. After graduating from Phillips Academy, Pratt enrolled at Oberlin College in Oberlin, Ohio, where she received a degree in communications with a minor in modern dance. Her publishing career began with internships at Rolling Stone magazine and Sportstyle, a Fairchild Publication. After graduating, Pratt landed her first job as assistant editor of McCall's, and in 1986, became an associate editor of Teenage Magazine. From there, she went on to found Sassy Magazine.

Sassy
At the age of 24, Pratt became the founding editor of Sassy, a magazine for teenage girls. Under Pratt, the magazine experienced rapid circulation growth. The magazine released a limited-edition Sonic Youth flexi-disc (a cover of the New York Dolls song "Personality Crisis"). Band members Thurston Moore and Kim Gordon were fans of the teen magazine.

The magazine's affinity for indie rock led to the formation of the band Chia Pet, which counted Sassy writer Christina Kelly and Pratt as members. Chia Pet released "Blind Date" on the Kokopop label in 1992, which won simultaneous Single of the Week honors in both NME and Melody Maker.

Television and books
The success of Sassy led Pratt to host a talk show on Fox in 1992, however, it was cancelled after only 13 weeks. The show moved to Lifetime in 1993 but only lasted 12 weeks due to low ratings.

Pratt was also a frequent contributor to VH-1 and Extra, where she was featured interviewing such personalities as Madonna, Michael Jackson, Michael Stipe of R.E.M., and Drew Barrymore.

Pratt is the author of two books, For Real: The Uncensored Truth About America's Teenagers (Hyperion, September 1995) and Beyond Beauty: Girls Speak Out on Looks, Style and Stereotypes, which is published by Callaway Editions in association with Clarkson Potter.

Jane
After Sassy was bought by Los Angeles–based Peterson Publishing in 1994, the New York–based Pratt regrouped with several former Sassy staffers to form Jane, a lifestyle magazine for 18- to 34-year-old women which debuted three years later. Its first cover featured actress Drew Barrymore. Other colleagues have included singer Michael Stipe, whom she dated; director Spike Jonze, whom she hired as editor of short-lived teenage boy–targeted Dirt magazine; actress Chloë Sevigny, who was once a summer intern at Sassy; and Pamela Anderson, who wrote a regular monthly column for Jane.

Jane was nominated for a National Magazine Award for General Excellence by the American Society of Magazine Editors, and Pratt was named "Editor of the Year" in 2002 by Adweek.

On July 25, 2005, Pratt announced that she was resigning from her position as editor-in-chief of Jane and would be leaving the company on September 30, 2005, exactly eight years after its debut issue. Circulation had steadily increased since the magazine's debut, with 700,000 readers as of the day Pratt announced she would be stepping down.

On July 9, 2007, Charles Townsend, president and CEO of Condé Nast Publications, announced that Jane magazine would cease publication with its August 2007 issue. The magazine's website, janemag.com, was also to be shut down. "This was a very difficult decision for us," Mr. Townsend said. "We worked diligently to make Jane a success. However, we have come to believe that the magazine and website will not fulfill our long-term business expectations."

xoJane
In May 2011, Pratt launched women's lifestyle site called xoJane. Pratt and collaborators describe the site as " ...not snarky, but inclusive and uplifting, while remaining nothing but honest at all times. Like Sassy and Jane before it, xoJane.com is written by a group of women (and some token males) with strong voices, identities, and opinions, many in direct opposition to each other, who are living what they are writing about." According to Forbes, in less than two months from the launch date, xoJane.com established itself as one of the "Top 10 Lifestyle Websites for Women." Pratt served as editor-in-chief with Emily McCombs as executive editor, Mandy Stadtmiller as editor-at-large, and Lesley Kinzel as deputy editor. She launched a British sister site, xojane.co.uk, in June 2012, with Rebecca Holman as editor.

xoJane and xoVain were acquired by Time Inc. from Pratt and SAY Media in 2015. In December 2016, Time indicated that it would be folding xoJane into InStyle, following reports that Pratt was leaving Time and looking for a new owner for her web properties.

As of 2017 xoJane content and articles are unavailable and the xoJane site redirects to HelloGiggles, a Time, Inc. property.

Personal life
Pratt and actor/writer Andrew Shaifer have a daughter, Charlotte Jane (born December 2002). She was pregnant with twins, due in the summer of 2005, but she miscarried both that April.

In popular culture
An episode of MTV animated series Daria parodies Pratt through the character of Val, youth-obsessed editor of Val magazine.
