Mark Howard
Hi. I've noticed you've been making edits to the article on Mark Howard, and that your user name is Markrhoward. If you are one of the Mark Howards that you are adding to the list of Mark Howards, I must ask that you stop. It is frowned upon at Wikipedia for a person to edit their own article; the prevailing philosophy is that if one were notable enough to have an article about them, someone else would create it. Also, it is more appropriate to create links to Wikipedia articles than to external pages; the red link that appears encourages users to create new articles if they feel them necessary. Also, your edits to Mark Howard are not aesthetically sufficient; it may be advantageous for you to use the "Show preview" button next to the "Save page" button to make sure that your edits appear as you intend. Thanx! --Maxamegalon2000 04:21, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
