Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the external links you added to the page Reality television do not comply with our guidelines for external links. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Veinor ^{(talk to me)} 03:49, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Reality television

I reverted your edits to Reality television for the very same reason that Veinor did (see this edit summary). Wikipedia is not a how-to guide. It's not that I "didn't understand" what you added, it's that that material isn't appropriate for WP. Esrever 22:46, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. I've also removed the citation of your book from the Reality television article. Please look at what Wikipedia is not, including the part about advertising, and the policies on spam. Your book isn't used as a reference anywhere in the article, and adding it as such comes across as self-promotion (and is thus a conflict of interest). Thanks!
