Thank you for the welcome and quick tutorial, Pumpkin King. I agree with your general policy of non-deletion; if Wikipedia could explain everything, no matter how minor, that would be great IMO. --Poetry cellar 00:23, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

You're welcome and best of luck editing on Wikipedia. I have additional articles on my user page that may be of interest to you. Sincerely, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 00:26, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Self article

Hello. I notice that you've been editing your own article. There is nothing wrong with that, and you've been doing a fine job. I just wanted to apprise you of Wikipedia's rules about conflict of interest, which could provide further guidance. You can find them here. --Eyrian 22:10, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks Eyrian. I am trying to be as ethical as possible about it while fixing some things that needed to be fixed. If you disagree with some editions, perhaps you can edit them out? Should I take out the link to Amazon? There is probably going to be some degree of "conflict of interest" in any of the articles I edit or create, as poetry is a very small world, but that happens to be the world I know most about, and one which Wikipedia needs more info about.

My pleasure to help. Yes, the Amazon link was inappropriate, but not terribly so. I've changed it to just be an ISBN, which Wikipedia handles in a customizable way. --Eyrian 03:36, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks Eyrian! Poetry cellar 05:16, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

This is also nice because it links to WorldCat, so people can get it from the library. Good to know about the ISBN system :-) Poetry cellar 05:18, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Happy Halloween!

As Halloween is my favorite holiday, I just wanted to wish my twenty favorite fellow Wikipedians a Happy Halloween! Sincerely, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 04:09, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
