Writing about yourself

I am concerned that you appear to have been editing an article about yourself, contrary to Wikipedia policy; see Writing about yourself and your work. In your recent edit to Talk:Elizabeth Báthory#Fact versus fiction you refer to my book 'Countess Dracula' - listed in the references. I assume that this book is Thorne, Tony (1997). Countess Dracula. Bloomsbury. ISBN 0-7475-2900-0. Have I misunderstood? If you are the author of this book then you should not edit the Tony Thorne article. Wikipedia has procedures for you to use to correct errors in an article about yourself, and to remove any inappropriate content.

I am not accusing you of self-promotion, but simply alerting you to this policy. I encourage you to share your expertise by contributing to other articles. It is permissible to cite your own publications. Verbcatcher (talk) 01:00, 12 April 2015 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Tony Thorne has been reverted.
Your edit here to Tony Thorne was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (https://tonythornesite.wordpress.com/) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page.
