Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not add promotional material to articles or other Wikipedia pages, as you did to Onychomycosis. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

Hello Orange Marlin  Thank you for the feedback on my recent update to Onychomycosis. You mentioned "please do not add promotional material to articles or other Wikipedia pages" and I wanted to clarify this point. Are you referring to the text that was added/edited to the Onychomycosis page or the link used as a reference for the edits? I appreciate your help on this. -Alex Habo 17:36, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
 * OK, this edit isn't supported by a reliable source, but worse yet, the citation used is plainly an advertisement for a physician in Sacramento. If you work for him, then it's a conflict of interest, if not, then we need better sources.  For example, this article comes from a peer-reviewed journal with real data.  That could support a statement that laser technology may be useful in treating Onychomycosis.  I hope that helps.  I'm going to add a welcome template to your page, that has a few links to some basics about Wikipedia.  We're particularly careful with medical articles, in keeping the woo out.
