Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not add promotional material to articles or other Wikipedia pages, as you did to Randy Savage. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a " soapbox" is strongly discouraged. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. Per your username, addition of the "machomadness" website could be seen as an attempt to advertise on Wikipedia. I've also looked it over, and there's nothing to indicate it's an official site; it appears to be a fansite. Per WP:EL, fan sites should not be added to external link sections of articles.

You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved, as you did at Lanny Poffo. This applies to articles about you, your achievements, your band, your business, your publications, your website, your relatives, and any other possible conflict of interest.
Creating an article about yourself is strongly discouraged. If you create such an article, it might be listed on articles for deletion. Deletion is not certain, but many feel strongly that you should not start articles about yourself. This is because independent creation encourages independent validation of both significance and verifiability. All edits to articles must conform to Wikipedia:No original research, Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, and Wikipedia:Verifiability.
If you are not "notable" under Wikipedia guidelines, creating an article about yourself may violate the policy that Wikipedia is not a personal webspace provider and would thus qualify for speedy deletion. If your achievements, etc., are verifiable and genuinely notable, and thus suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later. (See Wikipedia:Wikipedians with articles.) Thank you.
Welcome to Wikipedia. I notice that you removed content from a Wikipedia article. However, Wikipedia is not censored to remove content that might be considered objectionable. Please do not remove or censor information that is relevant to the article. You have the option to configure Wikipedia to hide images that you may find offensive. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Hi,
It has been noticed that you are removing text from Lanny Poffo. In a case like this it is best that you discuss it on the talk page at talk:Lanny Poffo rather than battling it out with another editor. Describe if there are nay problems with the page. The page itself is not supposed to be a promotion for Lanny Poffo but an encyclopedia article. Graeme Bartlett ( talk) 08:43, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
