Are you Robert Epstein? —Ruud 05:07, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

It's quite flattering that you consider me responsible for everything that's wrong with Wikipedia, especially given that the site has existed for five years and I've only been actively editing for one-tenth of that time. However, I suggest you familiarize yourself with the Wikipedia self-promotion policy before you edit further. In general, it's considered bad form to write about your own work in articles. The rationale is that researchers are unlikely to be able to present a neutral point of view about their own work, and in addition, that if your work is notable enough to merit inclusion in an encyclopedic article aimed at a general audience, then someone other than you will also see fit to write about it.

Also, since you seem to have read my user page where I state that my preferred pronoun is "they" (not "him" or "her"), I request that you respect my preference. Catamorphism 08:07, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
