Welcome

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent contributions, such as your edit to the page Talk:Cape Cod Community College, seem to be advertising or for promotional purposes.

Hi, Downtownboston, and welcome again to Wikipedia. The "welcome" was not intended sarcastically; rather it comes from a template intended to alert relatively new users that their posts may not be entirely in keeping with Wikipedia etiquette.

First off, if you disagree with my edits, no one is stopping you from changing them: that's part of what Wikipedia is all about. In terms of explaining the reasons behind your edits, users usually put this information either on the article talk page (as you did) or in the edit summary box that appears above the "Save page" button. Please forgive me if you already know this; it can be hard sometimes to judge how familiar newer users are with Wikipedia procedure.

Regarding your initial contribution to the page, my comment was "non-notable," not "advertising" or "self-promotion." In retrospect, the "non-notable" comment may have been a bit hasty on my part -- I have been upstairs in Mr. Gorey's house and seen the work he produced for the album. I would suggest, though, that if you and Mr. Croce are one in the same, it might be wise either to leave decisions of notability to your fanbase or to consult WP:AUTO. In any case, I won't quarrel with you if you want to revert my edit. The problem with the links you provided is that they are all links to commercial sites -- sites selling the music of the band in question, and so it looks like advertising. So I removed the links but, you will notice, not your comment.

In any case, you are completely correct that notability is not restricted to "scientists and university presidents." As a short-lived roadie for the The Real Kids, I probably ought to have remembered that. Unnotably yours, Kafka Liz (talk) 04:34, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
