Hello, I'm Qwerfjkl (bot). I have automatically detected that this edit performed by you, on the page Ghosthouse (film), may have introduced referencing errors. They are as follows:

• A missing title error. References show this error when they do not have a title. Please edit the article to add the appropriate title parameter to the reference. (Fix | Ask for help)

Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, Qwerfjkl (bot) (talk) 01:48, 14 February 2026 (UTC)Reply

Hi Hellmark,

As you can see from my contributions, I write a lot about books.

I was granted the privilege of viewing deleted content in 2013.

Regarding this new article, I can see that the articles Alyson Greaves, Neem Tree Press, and Wilton Square Books have never been created.

In writing about books, the usual pattern goes something like this:

Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit is a novel by Jeanette Winterson

It identifies the work in the context of the author. In this case, it would appear there is little to no mentions of a person of the name "Alyson Greaves" to add to an en.wp article. What do you think about this? Shirt58 (talk) 🦘 11:45, 20 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

I plan on adding more, I just had started getting tired so had to stop for the evening.

My original plan was to start go with Alyson's most notable work so far, as the first two books in the Dorley series are the only ones that have been non-self published so far. Neem Tree Press I figured was the lowest priority, as that publisher has gone out of business, but I still plan on writing about it since it went out of business as part of the Unbound fall out. Wilton Square was established in response to the Unbound/Boundless/Neem Tree shuttering, so it will be written about as well. Hellmark (talk) 19:51, 20 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

To answer your question at Talk:The Sisters of Dorley

The text in the article includes

The series follows the lives of the people who inhabit the mysterious Dorley Hall near the Royal College of St Almsworth, and the shared secret they all have

The text from

I've "striked" out out my comments here. All that said, just as a regular editor, I still think it would be better practice if an article about the author was created first. Peter in Australia aka --Shirt58 (talk) 🦘 11:04, 22 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for your contributions to The Sisters of Dorley. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing as a live article at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability. I have converted it to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit the draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 00:07, 3 August 2026 (UTC)Reply

From what it looks like, some of the references that had been there have been removed. I'll make sure that things can get put into place. Hellmark (talk) 02:36, 3 August 2026 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for uploading File:Cover for the book Welcome to Dorley Hall.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of non-free use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:18, 5 August 2026 (UTC)Reply
