Further to the above. All respect to the fact that you are not just trying to promote your label but also trying to increase the knowledge of the artists concerned. But I'm afraid Wikipedia, in its function as an encyclopedia, has over time, through much tribulation, developed policies to prevent it from becoming overloaded with links and advertisements, or just plain information for that matter. Many reggae artists are so prolific that it is impossible to list all their releases, and, not before some discussion had passed, external links to some independent discography aggregators have been permitted, but these are all non-commercial entities. Find those entities that are listed and make sure you are included. Don't worry - if you list a record with them, or on Wikipedia - interested people will google it up. User:Michig and I have reversed your edits so far and, perhaps, thrown out a bit of good info with them. Read the links above to Wikipedia policies, and have a look at what DOES work in articles, and I believe you will still have plenty room to contribute. Also, if you have your photographs you own the rights to, that you can release under an open licence, then you could contribute them to the artist's articles. Believe me, my own first edits were dumped too, but I soon learned the ropes. Wwwhatsup (talk) 22:55, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
