Why do you consider my addition an instance of self-promotion? At what point does a legitimate contribution to an existing topic by a living person become self-promotion? With respect to the history of the use of the phrase ad infinitum in the poems of Jonathan Swift and Augustus De Morgan, I, in fact, in 1964, made a unique contribution, albeit little known today but published in a respected mathematics journal (which was property cited) nonetheless. Where in the Wikipedia Terms of Service does it say that a person cannot contribute something that he himself wrote that extends knowledge or nuances a previously-written entry? Would it have made any difference if a third unrelated party had made the same Wikipedia entry? Would you have preferred a different wording of the explanatory and/or reference parts of my contribution? What is your status within Wikipedia that entitles you to delete my contribution?--Bricxjo (talk) 17:37, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
