Not impressed by the generic explanation when you removed my link twice    Walter   I see that you are a fellow Christian and a fellow Christian musician although being  years younger than I its not likely that you lived through the early days of the Jesus Movement as I did    As a longtime Web Site content developer K Textbook editor English Professor Bible teacher Music teacher professional writer and a onetime Jesus Musician Ive recently started a project SchoolOfTheRockcom to help disciple the year olds I minister to regularly on issues of contemporary Christian living especially in areas related to worship and Bible teaching  Despite an ad here or there on the site to help pay a fraction of the sites expenses youd be hardpressed to call it a commercial endeavor I pay the sites manifold expenses as a writeoff from my professional consulting business    Because I grew up with people who hate Contemporary Christian music and still run into them from time to time I thought it would be nice to include articles that show some of the ways in which Biblical living and Biblical worship through contemporary musical forms tie together    To find links I could include from my pages I went looking for any internet articles that provided insightful balanced detailed and factbased accounts of the history of Contemporary Christian music  I didnt find any that fulfilled all of those qualificatiosn  Your Wikipedia summary IS useful and is a good introduction VERY appropriate for Wikipedia but I wanted something that presented more details and presented them in a stronger narrative that showed the history of Christian music from the musicians perspective    So I wrote an factbased detailed wellorganized article that included not only the history of the industry but also personal experiences as well as the experiences of friends who were either touring artists or industry professionals   You might be put off by a couple of paragraphs in first person but if youve ever read Paul Bakers books youll find all the proof you need that its an accurate history even to the minor details  Or maybe youre put off by some of the negative statements about dark times in the history of Christian music  But the sources you cite and books you recommend have sections that are FAR more negative  Also I carefully chose details that would get the point across with inspiring the reader to outrage on certain topics as a fullydetailed account would have done  Ive also vetted the article for content balance and tone by running it past former touring artists and Christian broadcasting professionals who lived through the same era I have gotten nothing but enthusiastic response    If you can find another Internetpublished article or ten on the same subject that is as well written organized balanced and factbased as my article please let me know  Id be VERY glad to link to them from my web site  Id also like to know why you dont link to those articles from the Wiki article  If they exist that is  Finally I confess that I am at a loss as to why you consider my article either to be a commercial advertisement or a personal blog both accusations came through the message to me though it was largely boilerplate so Im not sure which part was really yours  I recognize that is is NOT a Wikipedia article but it is a factbased detailed and hopefully balanced article nonetheless far more so than quite a few other article links I see on similar Wikipedia pages It is not advertising any specific product or even any commercial web site  BTW CCM magazine is commercial  they cost money to subscribe to and have LOADS of advertising  Why do you have THEIR link if you are seeking to avoid even the appearance of supportiing a commercial enterprise  Also the article dos NOT contain unverifiable personal ramblings or rants as a blog would  I publish blogs in other web sites so I know the difference   Perhaps you object to the fact that I posted the link myself  Would it be a better article if I asked an industry contact to post the link  Or maybe you should read the article yourself and let me know specifically what you feel is unsuitable about it  If youve lost the link its at  httpwwwschooloftherockcomhtmlabriefhistoryofcontemporarhtml  Frankly Im hoping that as a fellow musician you find the article edifying exhorting and comforting  And if you ARE aware of anything wrong with it on any level please let me know because I strive for proessionalism  Sorry for the VERY long comment and God bless  Paul Race
