I clicked your signature in note you posted to my talk page which is a beautiful color with distinctive typography It led me to the page I posted on I assumed that was the page you wanted me to post on since your signature led me there I had not thought of the mutability of Wikipedia articles That is a good reason to prohibit using them as references I agree that if Wikipedia only cited itself it could say anything at all emphasis added by me But Wikipedia does not cite only itself And in fact the Wikipedia reference I used was to a sentence with an outside reference Although I was careful about that outside reference I am sure that many would not be So I will agree that the outside references do not invalidate this argument against self references
