Edit ethics
It's unethical for you to promote your own book, as you did on Soffritto. I reverted your self-promotion there. People rely on Wikipedia as being an unbiased source of information. You can't be unbiased while promoting your own work. Foobaz&middot;o&lt; 19:23, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Autobiography
I have nominated the article you wrote, David Dale (author) for deletion. You appear to be the subject of the article as well as the author, and therefore cannot contribute to it in an unbiased manner. Wikipedia is not an appropriate place to advertise for your books.
