Dion Betts
I realize you are are new so don't worry too much, but please stop putting links to Dion in so many articles. This is what we call spamming and it is dimly thought of. I'm sure you will understand why when you think about it... if we allowed every writer and activist about autism to add their links to the ends of the pages then pages would be very, very long and very slow to load as well as boring. Thanks.--Slp1 (talk) 00:13, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

Hello, I am attempting to make the page not an orphan, and to provide links to it, as indicated above the article. Thank you for your advice.

Ah yes. Okay, I understand. Sometimes it is hard to solve the orphan problem with articles like this. The best way is to think about whether Mr. Betts is really, really famous enough to be mentioned in an article about a topic. ie if his books whether truly influential in a field, then you could add a little sentence about it. But that's going to be very hard in the autism field, because I don't know that he really is. Another way is to look at the schools or universities he attended. Sometimes they have list of alumni that you can add the article to. Can I ask you if you are Mr. Betts or know him? If that is the case then you need to read the articles on autobiography and conflict of interest. And be aware that once the article is on WP it needs to be of neutral point of view, so if any of the books have been reviewed badly, for example, that needs to go in too. --Slp1 (talk) 00:25, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
