Wikipedia removes my posting

It took a few days, but the fine folks at wikipedia finally removed my posting for My Papa's Waltz. Having said this, they did not remove it because it is wrong. In fact the they removed it because it was believed to be blatant advertising. It makes my wonder what would have happened if I had written it just a little differently.

Okay, so if you have looked carefully then you will find the mischievous action I have taken on Wikipedia. Yes, I posted something there; you just have to figure it out. Good luck!
