In no way was I trying to use promotional materials, if that was the case I would've used my own website/pages, but I was merely confirming the edit with an official (unbias) site. I wouldn't want to put an edit up without comfirming it. I thought that was what you had to do when editing up here (external links, citations, etc.)? I thought I read like 3 things saying that when I first signed up). I thought it was ok. It wasn't like I was spamming to promote my site or anything of the sort. I apologize if I did it the wrong way. How should I have done it then? A-LEX-ANDER THE GREAT™ (talk) 04:04, 25 February 2009


 * Well, first off, if you are "A-LEX-ANDER THE GREAT™", adding links about yourself is strongly discouraged, per Wikipedia's conflict of interest guidelines. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 04:22, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
 * That said, if you have a link you wish to add, it has to meet Wikipedia's external links guidelines. I've taken a second look on Google and he/you may indeed be notable, and if not, this seems to have been a good faith edit. I apologize for reverting it as vandalism.

 * Okay, I've reverted my edit and your link has been restored. I would discourage you from trying to create an article like A-LEX-ANDER THE GREAT™ as I believe the all caps title would violate our naming policy, but that's up to you. good luck with all your greatness, Shawn in Montreal (talk) 04:32, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

Oh, ok... Thanks. I appreciate it. I would hope to have an article up here one day (soon hopefully), but I don't know how. Plus, I think I'll do a little more reading on all the guidlines first. It's all becoming a little blurry. My name can be and has been written in lower cases if need be to meet site criteria (as long as the hyphens are there). Thanks again though.
