To the measure of dozens of kilobytes of contributions so far today. And some of it is of questionable taste.Some of it seems okay, some of it... not so much. I deleted what I thought to be the most egregious example - not because it was egregious, but because it was off-topic for the page that it was on.
Not that we've ever had a standard of taste, really... but... Well, would someone else look over his stuff and let me know if I'm just overreacting? Thanks.
I've put this onto the page that the troper created about his own work:
{{cleanup|This page was written by the author of the work that it describes. [[Death of the Author|Additional interpretations of the work would be appreciated.]}}
EDIT: And there's a difference between Shameless Self-Promotion and Astroturfing. This troper's way into Astroturfing territory.
