I'm seriously concerned that you're much too close to the subject you're editing. You're quoting yourself as a source, which is bad form in Wikipedia, and breaks several policies. I've removed your contributions from several articles, as they seem to have been inserted primarily to 'advertise' Joe Weinman and his policies and ideas. When he becomes notable enough, someone will make an article about him. In the meantime, I strongly suggest you edit articles to which you are not associated, but do have knowledge of. I should also note that I'm strongly considering putting up Joe Weinman for deletion, as it seems that it's purely a vanity article. Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry 01:51, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
