Promotion of your Lulu book - http://www.lulu.com/giannivenice
Hi Gianna. Welcome to Wikipedia. I saw your reverts of XLinkBot above and wanted to let you know that thebot's reverts were in order and explain a bit about why the link you are adding is not appropriate here. We have several guidelines to try and encure our content is of high quality and neutral. These include our verification and neutral point of view policies as well as guidelines on reliable sources editing with a conflict of interest and external links. In general a self published book would not be considered a suitable link for either sourcing facts in an article or as an external link. Our bar on such references is in keeping with our need for information to be verifiable, and to ensure we do not give undue weight to points of view and experiences that are not generally widely held or believed to be significant.

Please do not re-add the link. Consider instead adding encyclopedic content to the articles by using your knowledge of good sources. You can find out more about editing at our welcome page. If you have any questions please feel free to leave me a message at the bottom of my talk page. Thanks -- SiobhanHansa 16:07, 12 March 2008 (UTC)


 * I encourage you to add information based on the studies that the page above lists directly to the articles.  However the link itself is not appropriate.  If you continue to add the link you may find yourself blocked from editing.  -- SiobhanHansa 16:58, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Your recent edits
Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 19:06, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
