 * Please sign your messages on talk pages with four tildes ( ~ ). This will automatically insert your "signature" (your username and a date stamp). The [[File:Button sig.png]] or [[File:Insert-signature.png]] button, on the tool bar above Wikipedia's text editing window, also does this.


 * If you would like to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you.

Djc8275, good luck, and have fun. – – S. Rich (talk) 01:48, 21 December 2014 (UTC)

Book
Also, are you Dominic J. Caraccilo? – S. Rich (talk) 01:49, 21 December 2014 (UTC)


 * I came here with the same concern. In general, adding links to an article to your own book is looked on with deep suspicion, as it has the appearance of violating WP:SPAM. --Yaush (talk) 03:53, 21 December 2014 (UTC)
 * A more specific bit of guidance is WP:SELFCITE. As the books are published by reputable publishers and as they are not being cited as sources, I think DJC is okay in the postings we see. This is especially true since the books are simply in the further reading sections. DJC, if you'd like to cite the books as references to support specific changes to article text, please feel free to contact me. I will be happy to collaborate if the citations improve articles. – S.

Message response
Sorry i want to ensure I answer your comments and questions but Im still learning the process. I had no intention other than to sincerely trying to offer additional resources to the topics like e-commerce, bataan death march and Ken Hechler.. I care little of promoting myself - thank you for understanding. Dominic J. Caraccilo — Preceding unsigned comment added by Djc8275 (talk • contribs) 02:38, 19 January 2015 (UTC)


 * DJC, I am happy to help out. First, go through the Wikipedia tutorial for nuts & bolts instruction. Next, feel free to use the WP:SANDBOX with test edits, etc. Always feel free to contact me here, on my talk page, or via email. (I'll keep this page on my watchlist for the next few weeks.) Because I'm on a Wikibreak, not actively editing because of other matters of real importance, I may not respond right away. For a new editor (such as yourself) I will do my best to help out immediately. If I don't, put the Help me template on this page and someone will come by to assist. (Such templates are automatically indexed and other editors patrol these indexes.) – S. Rich (talk) 14:30, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
