Self-related edits

Please tread very carefully when editing articles closely related to yourself and when adding links to your own site. I don't have a problem with the specific material you've added, but as a general rule Wikipedia discourages editors from writing about themselves or linking to their own sites. Adding information to the LASIK article is fine, but it would be better to suggest the usaeyes.org links on the Talk page and see if other editors agree that they should be included. For the CRSQA article, given that it involves you fairly closely, better to discuss any suggestions for change on the Talk page. There's more detail on these guidelines & why they exist at Wikipedia:External links and Wikipedia:Autobiography.

I hope you'll stick around and continue contributing to articles - unfortunately, self-promotion is enough of a problem here that editors are justifiably wary of people editing articles about themselves, so this is something that has to be handled with caution. --Calair 13:30, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

Dear Doctor, please refrain from editing any article of which you are a subject, such as Council for Refractive Surgery Quality Assurance. You may be blocked or permanently banned for this conflict of interest. Please, review the relevant policies at Wikipedia:Autobiography, WP:BLP, and WP:COI. Violations are posted at WP:COIN, much to everyone's embarassment. If you need to correct what you perceive as vandalism, you may contact another editor or administrator to fix the problem, or make a note on the talk page of said articles.

Council for Refractive Surgery Quality Assurance

Ghagele: As per the notes above please do not alter the changes made to the CRSQA article without discussing them first. If you wish to discuss the changes I've made with me I'd be happy to work with you to satisfy any legitimate concerns you have. I have opened a discussion on the talk page of the CRSQA article to discuss this issue. --SirDecius (talk) 23:07, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

The rationale for deleting the Glenn Hagele article can be seen at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Glenn Hagele. At the moment, the contents of the deleted article are still visible on a mirror site at http://www.answers.com/Glenn_Hagele.
