Hi! It looks like you are adding a reference to your own book on lots of pages. This is not necessarily bad, provided it is pointing out something that is not available from the references already cited - otherwise it's considered self-promotion. See Wikipedia:Attribution#Citing yoruself. In general it's best to add a note to the talk page describing the point you are trying to make, and why this is the best reference for it. Also, adding yourself as the first entry in a list is considered impolite, like cutting to the head of a line. LouScheffer (talk) 18:30, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
