Autobiography[edit]

Hi, Mr. Bostrom. I just wanted to drop in a line to mention that editing articles about oneself or one's accomplishments (bands, companies, etc.) is generally frowned upon--though it's often done, even by Wikipedia's own Jimmy Wales [1]. The preferred method for influencing such articles is to make mention on the talk page of any information you feel is wrong--though I see you already did that on Talk:Meat Puppets, and it didn't stop our friend from re-entering the objectionable information. As it appears, however, the majority is on your side, and that particular description does not appear to have been (re-)added to the article in recent times, so hopefully, the issue is dealt with. Lastly, welcome to Wikipedia! - 211.28.80.58 02:37, 7 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
