Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Greg Mortenson has been reverted. Your edit here to Greg Mortenson was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (http://byliner.com/jon-krakauer/stories/excerpt-three-cups-of-deceit#story-updates/) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 23:21, 9 October 2011 (UTC)

Question
Looking at earlier edits from this account, it appears that you are the author, Jon Krakauer. Is that correct? If so, it seems quite inappropriate for you, of all people, to be editing Wikipedia articles about your own books, and especially articles that concern Greg Mortenson. Please read the following on conflict of interest in Wikipedia. And, if you are Mr. Krakauer, it would be appropriate for you to give full and honest disclosure here ASAP. Thank you, Lhb1239 (talk) 23:25, 9 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Another editor's comment: It would be best if you avoided editing articles about yourself or your works. If you see something which you think needs correcting or updating, you can leave a note on the talk page explaining what you think should be done. 00:25, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
