Hello, I'm Mabalu. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions to Hatmaking because it appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. ''Hi - I'm guessing that with a name like Johnny Rooster, you are affiliated to or closely linked to John McLaughlin of the Brass Rooster (if not actually the man himself.) If so, this is a problem as regards conflict of interest and self-promotion, as Wikipedia should not be used to write about yourself or to promote yourself or your business. If Brass Rooster hats are notable, then maybe you could add them to Requested_articles/Arts_and_entertainment/Fashion with some links showing that they have received third-party attention from reliable sources (ie, not self-published material, personal blogs, or press releases.), or request the article be created at Articles for creation.''
