Please read WP:conflict of interest. We aren't here to promote our own stuff. Vsmith (talk) 13:49, 8 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding your note on my talk page. -- You chose to create a username that looks like the name of a book author. Then you add bits to three articles related to that author and/ or a co-author. The only edits to articles appear to promote works by those two author/scholars. The addition to Arboretum involved modifying a link to include a book by that co-author. The external link there had problems, but when resolved led to a book sales page. Now the proper approach would be for you to suggest an edit on the respective talk pages regarding the books and let other editors with no conflict of interest make the desired edits. Again, read WP:COI. Feel free to reply here, as I have your talk on my watchlist. Vsmith (talk) 15:28, 11 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
