I want to sell an Ebook on "How To Make" a product that will save Energy costs in homes and small businesses. I want to use Wikipedia to post a summary of the Ebook and direct the reader to it. Is that a ligitimate way to use Wikipedia? What primary category will interest the most readers?
 * I'm afraid not -- at least, not initially. You would need to make the ebook first, start selling it, and subsequently receive enough "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" (e.g. a number of reviews in major publications would be a start) to be worthy of a Wikipedia article -- see WP:NOTABLE for the guidelines.  If and when your book does become notable, it is likely that someone else will write a Wikipedia article about it anyway (it is somewhat frowned upon to write articles about oneself, which would include articles about books you have written -- see WP:Conflict of interest).  So, no, I'm afraid not.  Hope this helps!  -- simxp (talk) 20:11, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
