Self-promotion

Please discontinue adding promotional copy for TwoMorrows products. It's a violation of Wiki policies regarding advertising / self-promotion and also regarding conflict of interest. If disinterested, third-party editors find one your articles useful to a particular Wikipedia entry, they will add it — as, in fact, I and others have many times. Thank your for understanding. --Tenebrae 06:06, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Inappropriate username

Unless you are affiliated with Malibu Comics, you are violating Wikipedia guidelines concerning inappropriate usernames.

You have made several edits that violate Wikipedia guidelines and policies regarding original research, adding personal opinion, turning wikilinks into redlinks, and more.

So far, you appear to be a vandal and self-promotional account. What explanation do you have for your edits and for your misleading username? I notice the name Michael Aushenker popping up a lot in regards to your edits. --Tenebrae 23:24, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

No self-promotion or misleading going on. Sorry if I set off some red flags, I'm relatively new to the Wiki. I'm a fan of Aushenker's comic work and his related writings. I did not realize I've been violating any sort of copyright. I live just above Malibu and I collect comics, hence the moniker. Looks like I'll have to seek a new moniker. Thanks, Tenebrae. Peace out! -- [User:MalibuComics]] 15 October 2007 (UTC)

S'okay, and thanks for taking my admittedly touchy comments in a constructive spirit. I apologize if seeming a tad hall-monitorish; I see so many attempts at advertising and self-promotion on Wiki that I and other editors reach a certain point about it at times.

In any case, welcome! Here are some links that, as I know from my first days, are incredibly helpful, and I urge you to make use of them: WP:VERIFY, WP:SOURCE, WP:CITE, WP:NPOV, WP:NOR, WP:CRYSTAL, WP:DATED, and WP:CIVIL. Have fun and make good edits! Happy Wiki'ing! --Tenebrae 14:19, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
