~~again, PLEASE REMOVE THIS ACCOUNT.~~

so then what am I to do? :(

You can't have it both ways[edit]

It's not right to ask your account be deleted and blank all the warnings folks have given you about adding links to your own website in contravention of our rules -- then keep adding links.

To ask to have your account deleted -- and then go and write an article about your own business -- that's not right either.

This is a project to develop a free, globally accessible encyclopedia, not some form of yellow pages. We're not pitching in to promote our own interests. I have two web sites of my own but I don't link to them or promote them even though one has been widely cited and likely meets our Notability Guideline.

Please, we'd love to have your contributions but only if they don't involve your web sites.

I too have a website and don't promote it here (It's small and non-notable). I don't see any musician articles on Wikipedia that link to their lyrics. I remove links to ANY lyrics site because I don't see how that related to building an encyclopedia. There is a guideline that says that Wikipedia is not a series of links. I assume that someone has already pointed you to Wikipedia:Conflict of interest, but I thought it was important to point it out just in case. I have nothing against you or your work, I hope that your website is successful. Royalbroil 23:24, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you and I appreciate that. At the same time though, consumers more often than not find a lot of value in having easy access to their lyrics rather than having to hunt and search for them. Hence why I thought it would be important.
