Meh, I think I missed the shot at making the title funny and/or misleading. Here's the warning atop Ben's Wikipedia page:

To meet Wikipedia's quality standards and conform with our NPOV policy, this article or section may require cleanup.
The current version of the article or section reads like an advertisement.
Please discuss this issue on the talk page. Editing help is available.

What the copulate?

You need to clean it up, because they think you're advertising Benheck.com. It seems fairly straightforward, and I haven't even been there. (The horror!)

Clear-up for Sky:

EDIT: Whoa, I just noticed that I almost joined on Ben's birthday!

Well I think it reads like information but oh well. I must preserve it in the wiki tomorrow! Ben must never be deleted!

I've never read it, but if it needs altered someone should do it. Getting deleted from Wikipedia would be embarrasing.

Ive read it before and i have just skim read it again. It seems absolutely fine. Probably someone was just jealous of you who has the moderation abilities to mark it for deletion.

If it does get deleted....We can rebuild him, we have the technology, stronger, faster and mroe informative than before!

I think they say it reads like an advertisement because they think he's just a Joe Schmoe with soldering skills trying to promote himself and his website, but Ben didn't write it! Maybe if Ben could ad an "Early life" paragraph and a fake Discography....

Likely the only way we could make them think it's not too much of an advertisment is to add Ben's movies. I'd like to say there is more but really Ben's known more for his portables and all the stuff he's put up on benheck.com then anything else. So it's hard not to keep pointing to benheck.com as a source for all the information about him.

Really I found it odd that there wasn't a page about benheck.com. Really we've talked about so wild things here. Not to mention it's where news about the DCp, GCp, and JaguarP hit the net.

I don't think that they'd delete it, it doesn't say anything about it actually being a possiblility or anything like that. Would wikipedia do something like that? Just because it reads like one, doesn't mean that is what it is, and it's not really spam, either.

Well I kind of did too. It's on a link on the main page, but I didn't add images.
