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 Abaddon in popular culture. 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. For more information see the notability guidelines, which you and your book do not appear to meet. At any rate, it is considered suspicious when someone adds material in which they are have a financial stake in. Thank you Ian.thomson (talk) 21:55, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Abaddon in popular culture. While objective prose about beliefs, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you.
