Hello, I'm Tol. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Ammar Abo Bakr seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Tol (talk &#124; contribs) @ 22:05, 26 July 2023 (UTC)


 * Dear Toi, thanks for your message. Please help me identifiy which parts of my edits are considered to not have a neutral point of view, so that I can be sure to abide by Wikipedia's standards. Thank you for helping me 156.195.42.60 (talk) 23:16, 26 July 2023 (UTC)

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Ammar Abo Bakr. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. Tol (talk &#124; contribs) @ 22:09, 26 July 2023 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to add promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, as you did at Ammar Abo Bakr, you may be blocked from editing. Tol (talk &#124; contribs) @ 22:12, 26 July 2023 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you use Wikipedia for soapboxing, promotion or advertising, as you did with this edit to Ammar Abo Bakr. Tol (talk &#124; contribs) @ 22:16, 26 July 2023 (UTC)

 * Dear Daniel Case, my sincere apologies for what I understand to be considered disruptive editing. I am new to this process and editing wikipedia pages and my additions are designed to include references to the artists early career and later work since the wikipedia entry as it stands is only concetrating on the Egyptian revolution period of his artistic practise. Please advise! 156.195.42.60 (talk) 23:15, 26 July 2023 (UTC)

I am a writer and academic who knows about this Artist's work and I found that the page does not include information about his early career or later works, but only focuses on the 2011 revolution period of his career. Having taught research writing in university, I thought it would be suitable to contribute as an editor to wikipedia as it remains an important source for students. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 156.195.42.60 (talk) 08:01, 28 July 2023 (UTC)
 * You were blocked because your edits were promotional, to the point of seeming like advertising. Wikipedia is not a platform for promotion or advertising; it is an encyclopedia which aims to neutrally cover notable topics. Your block has expired, and you can edit Wikipedia again, but please make sure to refrain from adding promotional or non-neutral content. Tol  (talk &#124; contribs) @ 08:48, 28 July 2023 (UTC)
