Please do not add commercial links (or links to your own private websites) to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or a mere collection of external links. You are, however, encouraged to add content instead of links to the encyclopedia as we drive for print or DVD publication; see the welcome page to learn more. Thanks. --  Donald Albury ( Talk )  11:20, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Adding an external link to a legitimate Website offering people more information about a subject is not using Wikipedia for commercial projects. In fact, my book is not a commercial project whatsoever, it is a huge money loser. I spent thousands on research and publishing to bring the book to people who care, because I wanted that information available to the world. So I have a suggestion -- you can kiss my ass. You don't own Wikipedia, you don't represent Wikipedia, and I'll continue to contribute to this Website and provide information as I please. Now I have important work to do, i.e. not going around trying to be a Nazi about other people's efforts to help the site.

Please see WP:Civility, and WP:Assume good faith. I make one revert over the lack of a proper citation in a featured article, and you feel the need to jump down my throat. You could have simply explained that there is only one "Making Of" book and that it is in fact impossible for the film to have over 3,500 effects shots. I am not a "tool" as you say and I am helping the project as I've actually gotten the three prequel trilogy film articles up to featured status. But as I see this message above, you don't seem to realize that personal attacks are a violation of Wikipedia policy. Please realize that almost everyone here is trying to help and you have no right to simply be rude and uncivil to anyone you disagree with. Also, please sign all of your comments with ~.

I really don't care what is "customary," and there's no grammatical reason to sign anything with four tildas that I can see. If you are trying to help the project -- and I will assume you want to do that -- then help the project, don't turn back any changes just because they aren't perfect. If you want an exact citation, what you can do is think, "Hmm, ok, Making Of book, let me look up and see if I can find that on Amazon, then maybe I'll cite it." That would be helpful. That would be constructive. Just reverting changes is not. It's immensely frustrating when you have a lot of knowledge about a subject area and want to share it with other people, then some guy online decides to prevent you from doing so when you spent your time trying to help out.
 * The four tildes will cause your signature to appear after you save the page, i.e. typing ~ will cause this to appear for me: The Filmaker 22:51, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I am not being "lazy" as you put it by simply reverting the change. I was under the impression at the time that there was more than one "Making Of" book. Therefore, I did not revert the change because it was improperly formatted, but because it was insufficient. It didn't provide enough information. Otherwise, I would have changed it myself. You must realize that many users like myself check this page everyday to make sure it is up to the featured article criteria. So it's either a sufficient citation, or no citation at all. Please do not make generalizations about what Star Wars fans know, I don't believe most know the exact number of effects shots are in each film. I'm sure some do, but I doubt the majority take the time to figure it out or study it. The Filmaker 22:51, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
