Autobiography
Hi, Mr. Bostrom. I just wanted to drop in a line to mention that editing articles about oneself or one's accomplishments (bands, companies, etc.) is generally frowned upon--though it's often done, even by Wikipedia's own Jimmy Wales. The preferred method for influencing such articles is to make mention on the talk page of any information you feel is wrong--though I see you already did that on Talk:Meat Puppets, and it didn't stop our friend from re-entering the objectionable information. As it appears, however, the majority is on your side, and that particular description does not appear to have been (re-)added to the article in recent times, so hopefully, the issue is dealt with. Lastly, welcome to Wikipedia! - 211.28.80.58 02:37, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
