Author:Mark A. Mellon‎
Quoting from our Help:Contents/Purpose page: " What the ISFDB Wiki is not: The ISFDB Wiki should not be used for posting book reviews, whether favorable, unfavorable, or neutral in tone. It should not be used to publish advertisements or announcements of events, even if SF-related, such as conventions. It should not be used to publish advertisements for books or merchandise. Lists of an author's work ought to be made as entries in the regular database, not as Wiki-pages, but such lists may be useful temporarily, while database records are being entered or modified. "

I have removed the works that are obviously or preesumably not specualtive fiction from the bibliogrpahy you posted to Author:Mark A. Mellon‎. I have also removed promotional comments. The remaining items can be used to help enter appropriate records intio the database proper -- where they will actually be more visible to the general public. Once such entries hav been made, or will clearly not be made, they should be removed from Author:Mark A. Mellon‎. If you care to make the appropriate entries yourself, we would be very glad.

Please note thet the ISFDB does not catalog or record works that are not specualtive fiction, or about speculative fiction, excepot for a few works by authors which a sufficiently large output of SF that their complete bibliographies are recorded. See our Policy page for more details on this. -DES Talk 17:21, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
