Concerning the "Pine Bush, NY" page, an author, incidentally from New Jersey, continues to edit the page for his own personal advertisment. Specifically, his section on UFO's is solely there to help pedal his book (for which he includes a link) and has little relevance to the town and it's current facts and issues. The root of this problem is how someone, not even from the town, is able to effectively take over the page for self promotion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 150.108.160.223 (talk • contribs)

  • I don't think Wikipedia has a rule about where you live when you edit a page, though it is not fond of self promotion. Has this issue been raised on the talk page of the article? This is the first thing to do when you have a dispute. It is quite wrong to add comments like "Pine Bush doesn't want an author from NJ to use our town's page for self promotion" into a page, discussions belong on the talk page. "Pine Bush" should also understand that it does not "own" this article, that it is not there for the purposes of the promotion of the town either. Notinasnaid 19:57, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
