EggBlog
Hey there, thanks for your contribution of EggBlog. Please be aware that you should not replace Template:notability with your own text, as you have been doing. has been placed at the top of your article because it doesn't really define in what way the system is sufficiently notable to merit inclusion in an encyclopedia. Unless you add more information to support it's notability, the article may well be deleted. Until you add more information, and the tag can be removed, you should leave it in place at the top of the article, which you can continue to edit. Under no circumstances is there need for you to edit Template:notability to include information on EggBlog, as you have been doing. Doing so will have an affect on a number of articles which are tagged in this manner, and cause disruption. If you have any questions, feel free to leave a message at my talk page. └ UkPaolo/talk┐ 19:50, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

AfD
Hi--I have nominated your article on EggBlog for deletion on the grounds it's simply not well-known enough to be considered encyclopedic, and that you're using Wikipedia for self-promotion/vanity purposes, as you more or less admitted in your now-deleted blog post. If you'd like to look into this a little, you might consider reading WP:CORP and WP:SPAM, and please feel free to respond at the AfD page.

Please understand that I don't have anything against you personally or EggBlog, which looks like a good project, and I'm sure you just wanted more people to know about it. But as Wikipedia has gotten better known, it is increasingly being "gamed" by advertisers and SEO outfits, and this trend threatens its reputation for neutrality and trustworthiness, so we have to be careful. I hope your project succeeds and follows in the footsteps of WordPress, and then somebody (not you, ideally) will contribute another article about it. So no hard feelings, I hope. I wish you and EggBlog well, and I hope you stick around to contribute in other areas.
