Talk:Recommendation letter
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Response
Thank you for your extended response, Mr. Fawcett. I am the person (not bot) who placed the above tag on the article. Let me explain my rationale.
- The similarity of the text to that of your existing articles is a concern. Even though it's been modified, and you are also the copyright holder, it does give off an "advertising" sort of vibe that conflicts with the purpose of Wikipedia.
- The external links given are only those to your sites, and the book is yours as well. Even if you are "the foremost expert in the world" on the subject of reference and recommendation letters, it borders on self-promotion to limit the outside sources to your own works.
I agree that articles about recommendation letters and reference letters do belong in Wikipedia, but I also think that they should be approached in a more neutral way. I will withdraw the proposals for deletion if the article can be changed to reflect this ideal. ... discospinster talk 16:12, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
