[edit] BP Fallon

Hi. I've reverted your edits to the BP article. The language is just a little too flowery to be considered encyclopedic. I've re-added the links. Please bone up on Wikipedia's policy on conflict of interest. Wwwhatsup (talk) 22:32, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] David Bowie

Hi Harley. I am impressed with the addition to the above article regarding the fashion collection - that's really notable and well referenced. However, your addition of a link to your own website or work within a website contravenes Wikipedia's conflict of interest and use of external links guidelines, and may also qualify as spam in some editors' eyes. I've removed only the external link because of this. As my colleague has said above, please go off and read up on the relevant policies and guidelines here. Thanks, and keep up the good work you do otherwise. Ref ^(chew)(do) 10:18, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
