Pendragon series
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. :) I hope you will not take this personally, but I have removed the external link that you added to the article on the Pendragon series.  In my judgment, it was material not in keeping with Wikipedia's content policies and/or guidelines.  The purpose of a Wikipedia article is, ideally, to provide information directly about the subject of that article.  Because of this, external links to websites that are not officially affiliated with the subject—or unofficial sources generally accepted as definitive—are usually removed.  (And there's often a lot of debate about any unofficial source.)

I'm sure you had the best of intentions, and your Pendragon user icons may be wonderful and valuable in and of themselves. However, since they are your icons and you were the one posting a link to them, that would be viewed as "self-promotion". Such additions are generally treated, at the least, with skepticism by other Wikipedians.

Basically, I believed your edit to be primarily "unencyclopedic" material. If you disagree, you may wish to mention it on the article's talk page, or you are more than welcome to consult other editors or leave a note on my talk page! I'm quite willing to admit when I've made a mistake or error of judgment—none of us are perfect!

I really hope you'll stick around and contribute more to Wikipedia. Thank you for your time! — Paper  Truths ( Talk ) 03:38, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
