Robert Elwes Author

Dear ever helpful Marchjuly. I am a bit lost by your stopping my library entry requested by students and librarians at the Book Fairs and my lecture tours. Could you kindly enter an edited down version that makes you happy as many Wikipedia users asked me to enter my details below but I realise you must agree and enter them as of course I am just offering the page to help wikipedia as student joke that Robert Elwes (soldier) and Robert Elwes (traveller) appear because they are deceased but they cannot find my Robert Elwes (author) on Wikipedia. Could you perhaps see your way to entering this facts (edited of course) for them to find me on Wikipedia and several libraries and schools are asking me to give some page to wikipedia now too. Yours hoping you agree to enter it yourself edited down for students please;

Please don't post drafts for articles on my user talk page

“’Robert Geoffrey Elwes (British Alpine Author)”’ Robert Geoffrey Elwes was born in Scunthorpe in England in 1960. He is the son of Captain JGGP Elwes (deceased 1999 Vice Lord Lieutenant for Humberside) and Mrs CM Elwes. He grew up at Elsham Hall Country Park near Brigg in Lincolnshire. He built a Barn Theatre and Wildlife Park winning several awards (Eg. Yorkshire Tourism and Arts Awards). He also helped to build The Friendly Farmer motorway services at Newark on the A1  noted for its local farm produce and helped with the development of Tom Woods Brewery a local Lincolnshire Real Ale (noted for brewing Lincoln Gold Real Ale). He became a writer in 2003. He started writing books in Vorarlberg Austria where he is recognised for his most noted Musical Diaries written in 2003 entitled "Die Schokiberg Chronik oder Das Bellen am Bodensee" was published by Mackintosh Ltd. The Musical Diary is unique in Austrian literature as a record of experiences of the theatre playwright at the turn of the millennium (2000) whilst writing a musical on the notorious marriage swindle of Angelica Kauffmann in Vorarlberg. The Diary was first published in English under the title " The Chocolate Mountain Chronicles" but the edited German edition has become more recognised as a record of a changing Alpine social strata at the turn of the millennium and it contains a CD of outtakes from the musical he was writing with Vorarlberg composers Teddy Maier and Rolf Aborer. Robert Geoffrey Elwes lives between the tiny village of Gaissau in Vorarlberg on the lake of Constance (Bodensee) and his family estates and farms in North Lincolnshire, England. Diarists remain rare in the digital age. It is also partly recorded by ORF Radio Vorarlberg which is archived in the LandesBibliothek in Bregenz, Voarlberg, Austria.The book is famous for the fact that it was nearly burnt or destroyed by bookshops in Vorarlberg as it was posted free to all libraries and bookshops in Austria and to readers in remote Alpine locations in a time when books in the English language were rarely found in Austrian bookshops at the beginning of the millennium (2000). It is famous for being nearly destroyed due to an article in Der Standard Newspaper (see source material0 combined with a famous letter from AK - Konsumentenberarater Feldkirch stating "that is flooded the land .... You can make whatever you want with the book, also put it in the alt paper recycling...for example when you receiver a delivery of a washing machine" The German book therefore has a hilarious washing machine instruction. Letters from reader include Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Charles and No.10 Downing Street (Tony Blair PM) in 2003/2004. It was luckily preserved with original manuscript along with excerpts from ORF Vorarlberg recorded readings in the Landesbibliotheck Bregenz in Vorarlberg Austria. Rare copies can still be found in antique bookshops and on the internet. The author lives between Gaissau a fishing village on the Lake of Constance (Bodensee) and Roxby in England. He helps young writers and film script writers to develop English language projects. He is related to Carey Elwes (Film Star,) Simon Elwes (early Royal Portrait Painter of Queen Elizabeth II) and Gervase Elwes (famous Tenor Singer). His latest play for example is "Sack und Sarg" (Sack and Coffin)2017 is about a Jewish refugee who escaped from a Feldkirch Jewish Deportation Transist Camp in 1939 drugged as a small child and put in a potato sack. She meets an Afgahi refugee in 2016 who escaped from Kabul in a coffin. Other Short Film scripts include “Hemingway and All Hallows Day" loosely based on Hemingway's adultery in Montafon in 1925. Another play is on James Joyce's daughter Lucia Joyce (dancer) incarcerated in a mental hospital from a famous diagnosis of Carl Jung in Zurich. His short plays are new and are being currently filmed (2017). Source materials are mostly at Bregenz Library Vorarlberg. Letters listed below. This book was a musical diary written whilst travelling in Vorarlberg but it's most important attribute was to persuade bookshops to have English language books available in a time when Alpine author’s  had to travel on the ferryboat to Constance to get an English language book. The author is famous as a Dyslexic regarded as like James Joyce as being important in Author’s fight for freedom for dyslexic writers. Nowadays most books are all available on line and in digital downloads but at the turn of the century (2000) this was not available to readers or writers. It is also famous for incorporating a CD of the Musical in the German edition which was almost unheard of in 2003 as Cds were only sold separately. Notoriously at the Frankfurter Buchmesse (2004) writers including the late Muhamed Ali took copies. Ali took it into a boxing ring at his book launch in 2004 in solidarity for authors at the Show forced to read it in a lift. Books were burnt in the Nazi period in Austria and local authors came out to support this book on Feldkirch station in 2004. As James Joyce found it difficult in 1932 in Feldkirch to publish Ulysses in the USA and UK (see Irish Library Leon letters). The book in German has hilarious notes to the rear from Tesco stores unsure if it was Harry Potter. It may well be attributed as a "game changing book" for the 21st century for authors in a time when Bill Bryson was the only best selling travel diarist. It was nominated for the Thomas Cook Prize in 2004 but more amusingly it was nominated for the Cointreau Cook Book Prize by mistake in 2004 due to its title (see hilarious forward from Munich Editor in German Edition). It is sadly almost out of print but still available in some antique bookshops and on the internet. The Author has some German and English copies printed at BULU in Lustenau Austria and he gives mail address as 32 Kirchstrasse A6974 Gaissau Vorarlberg. He married Egyptologist and Museum Catalogue Illustrator, Marina Elwes in 1989 in Hirschorn, Heidelberg, Germany. They have three children Emily, Maximilian and Leopold. He supports many charities for Dyslexic Writers and the Gaissau locals nicknamed “the Silverspoon Schuhplattler” (Spoon Player).               PLENTY OF FREE COPYRIGHT PICTURES ON WIKIPEDIA TO MAKE IT LOOK BETTER; Thank you for HELPING me as I know Wikipedia does not let you enter your own page but it really does help librarians, students and Professors on my lecture tours.

Robert Elwes Author (frankly bit worried as they asked me to do a page!) Robert Elwes Author (talk) 15:19, 28 November 2022 (UTC)

Hi Robert Elwes Author. A Wikipedia administrator named Jimfbleak has already posted some information about this for you on your user talk page. If you've got any questions about what Jim posted, then I'm sure he'd be happy to answer them for you. Just post your questions on your user talk page and then WP:PING Jim. You can also ask questions at the Wikipedia:Teahouse. Just for reference, in order for a Wikipedia article to be written about you, it will need to be clearly established that you satisfy Wikipedia:Notability. Wikipedia has no interest it helping you to self promote yourself or your activities, and it has no interest in what your fans want. If it can be shown that you have received significant coverage in reliable secondary sources as explained in Wikipedia:The answer to life, the universe, and everything, then there's a very good chance that a viable Wikipedia article could be written about you. You should understand, however, that you will have zero editorial control over any such article as explained in Wikipedia:An article about yourself isn't necessarily a good thing and the content of any such article will need to be in accordance with relevant Wikipedia policies and guidelines. If such an article is created, you will, for the most part, be expected to not make any edits to it at all, but instead be expected to use edit requests to propose changes instead; in other words, any such article won't be "yours" to update as you please whenever you please. There are processes in place to assist you if you have problems with what's written about you on Wikipedia as explained here, but you will need to follow these processes and not try and "fix" things yourself. If Wikipedia's policies and guidelines seem too restrictive or exclusive for your purposes, there are alternatives as explained in Wikipedia:Alternative outlets that you might find give you more control.

Finally, please don't post draft versions of articles on user talk pages, article talk pages, noticeboards or any other type of discussion page since that's not really where such content belongs, and it's likely just going to annoy others. If you'd like to work on draft for a future article, you may do so. There are two options for drafts: Help:Userspace draft and Wikipedia:Drafts. Just read the information pages for each and decide which of the two best works for you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 22:04, 28 November 2022 (UTC)

Dear ever helpful Marchjuly, Thank you and I am not sure now really what to do at this stage so I have posted the details to assist Wikipedia on Wikipedia Drafts as you wished. I was only trying to help Wikipedia researchers and archivists to find my details on the correct page not on Robert Elwes Soldier or Robert Elwes Traveller. I have posted it as you suggest on Wikipedia with the various sources you wished me to add to assist whoever wishes to post their factual version on Wikipedia for students and librarians requesting my details. I am as usual only trying to assist wikipedia fans to find the right facts about Robert Elwes Author on your system. I hope you kindly help to publish it as I understand of course your criteria above but just keep on getting jokes from readings and lectures about my ancestors called Robert Elwes being all deceased on Wikipedia. I hope you kindly see fit to publish the draft: Robert Elwes Author. Best Regards from the Austria Alps and the famous Landesbibliothek Bregenz. Robert Elwes Author (talk) 10:58, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

While it might not be nice for your fans to make jokes at your expense, it's not Wikipedia's fault that they're doing so and it's not Wikipedia's responsibility to get them to stop. Perhaps the next time one of your fans makes such a joke, you should explain to them that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia which has its own established criteria for inclusion that you have no control over. Wikipedia articles aren't fan pages in any sense of the word; so, if that's what you and your fans want, you and they need to look somewhere else. If you would like to create a draft article about yourself, then you may. The two types of drafts I linked to above explain how to do so. You might also find the pages WP:YFA and WP:REFBEG helpful. Once you feel your draft is ready, you can submit it to WP:AFC for review. If one of the reviewers feel the draft satisfies relevant Wikipedia notability guidelines, they will approve it and upgrade it to article status; if not, they will leave a comment explaining why. I strongly suggest you carefully read through Wikipedia:Notability (people) because if your unable to meet the basic criteria listed on that page, it's unlikely a Wikipedia article will ever be created about you. Please understand that this doesn't mean you aren't a great person who does great things; it's just that you don't satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion. -- Marchjuly (talk) 11:30, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

Dear charming Marchjuly I hope the new Robert Elwes Author, Philologist and Musical Travel Diarist is more satisfactory. Please do feel free to suggest additions or edits as I am only trying to help and of course I am an inexperienced dyslexic philologist out collecting music and folk songs in the alps. Best Wishes and hope you kindly help it along with your tips.Robert Elwes Author (talk) 11:13, 30 November 2022 (UTC)

I'm not sure how to respond to this now that your account has been indefinitely blocked. Generally when two Wikipedia administrators like Deb and Jimfbleak ask you to stop trying to use Wikipedia for self-promotion, you now hopefully realize that you should have listened to them and not continue to try and do so. You then went and posted something similar on the user talk page of a third administrator named 331dot. Administrators will be happy to help you if they can, but they're not going to waste their time if you don't seem interested in following the advice they give. I also suggest that you reconsider your approach when asking others for assistance. You may think that beginning each post with something like Dear charming Marchjuly or Dear ever helpful Marchjuly is polite, but it's actually a bit ingratiating and is likely going to turn others off. -- Marchjuly (talk) 21:39, 30 November 2022 (UTC)
