Hello, I'm JohnFromPinckney. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Passamaquoddy have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. ''It seems you are interested primarily in adding mentions of one book to several articles (one of which mentioned above), be it as reference citation or "further reading" entry. This is inappropriate for Wikipedia, as we're trying to build an encyclopedia based on reliable sources, not promote individuals' self-published books. &mdash; JohnFromPinckney (talk / edits)'' 20:43, 3 January 2022 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Passamaquoddy Bay, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. One of the keys here is the phrase reliable'' source. Your book is self-published; I can't find it even listed via a web search. See WP:QUESTIONABLE for some further details.

Also, you've included an incomplete citation, apparently to cover the entire lead paragraph's claims. Among other things, the lead shouldn't need citations at all, per MOS:LEADCITE. If you see the claims you're trying to cite references for down in the article, please go ahead and add them there, but: please make it a complete (i.e., usable) citation, and make it to a reliable source. &mdash; JohnFromPinckney (talk / edits)'' 18:17, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
