Not a good idea
It isnt a good idea to self promote on wikipedia, if they see this you will be deleted. You cannot blog material which is not a qualified external link. External links--HalaTruth(ሀላካሕ) 11:42, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

I don't know what to tell you, I'm a primary source. I'm an eyewitness. It happened in my house. I haven't written a book, I've written a blog. I'm in a situation in which some reporter interviews me and the newspaper article is considered more credible than my own memory, even when they get subtle details incorrect. I imagine that if I were to write a book about Kwanzaa, that would be self-promotion. People will just have to read the material I present and judge for themselves, but there is no way the picture is complete without the detail I provide.

I am giving u a heads up, they have rules on this site and anything that appears "biased" is immidiatley labelled as spam and deleted. Have a read Help:Contents/Links. the rule about self links makes sense, but sometimes it doesnt because you may actually be the best source for the information. Good luck.--HalaTruth(ሀላካሕ) 19:10, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
