edits to Hula Hoop
Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did in Hula Hoop. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that exist to attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policies for further explanations of links that are considered appropriate. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. -- Doctormatt 23:35, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Please see WP:COI. I think your attempt to promote yourself using the Hula Hoop page runs the risk of a conflict of interest.  I suggest you add this information (i.e. about your inventiveness regarding fire, LEDs and hoops) to the talk page, and another editor can add it to the article if they deem it notable and well cited.
