Hello, I'm CommissarDoggo. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Táin Bó Cúailnge 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. Thank you. CommissarDoggoTalk?  12:40, 7 December 2023 (UTC)


 * Hello and thanks for your explanation. Well, I added this source:
 * Meet the ChronHib Team, maynoothuniversity.ie


 * At the bottom left corner, you will find a short bio of Romanas Bulatovas, a Research Assistant at the ChronHib Project of Maynooth University.
 * The short bio says

I have a BSc (2000) and MSc (2004) in Finance and Banking as well as over 10 years of work experience in the financial sector. Yet my real passion has always been Linguistics and in 2015 I enrolled in a MA programme in Old & Middle Irish at the National University of Ireland, Galway. I graduated with First Class Honours the following year and thereafter I joined the ChronHib project as a PhD-student. During the course of my research, I developed a particular interest in the Old Irish text Monastery of Tallaght (RIA MS 3 B 23), the language and dating of which are the main subject of my forthcoming dissertation. My main research interests are Historical linguistics and Modern Irish Dialectology.


 * My question now is: Why is there an extra article needed for someone with such a biography? He is just an average researcher without any special achievements. Therefore I removed the internal link brackets adding the above mentioned external link as a source to make clear that there is no need for an extra article about this researcher. So my reference is not promotional.
 * Your "soapbox" link states this:

Wikipedia is not a soapbox, a battleground, or a vehicle for propaganda, advertising and showcasing. This applies to usernames, articles, drafts, categories, files, talk page discussions, templates, and user pages. Therefore, content hosted on Wikipedia is not for: [...] 4. Self-promotion. 5. Advertising, marketing, publicity, or public relations.


 * However, an extra article about this average researcher would meet the above mentioned criteria of self-promotion and public relations. Therefore, the removal of the internal link brackets with addition of a source as a reference, is imho completely in line with the requirements listed in the Wikipedia Is Not A Soapbox section of that WP:PROMOTION page. I did not add this reference for promotional reasons, instead my intention was to prove that there is no extra article needed for this person. --2001:9E8:4637:F042:B830:47E6:B2A3:4A0C (talk) 13:49, 7 December 2023 (UTC)


 * My apologies, I misinterpreted what you added as promotion, when I made that revert and this warning there was a rather large wave of edits on recent changes so I couldn't look much further into it than what it appeared to be; a link to a random page that had no real relevance to the page.
 * That being said, the revert does still stand as adding a source to show that someone does not need a page of their own is unnecessary, simply removing the brackets and explaining why you did so in the edit summary would've been perfectly fine in this case.
 * If you wish, please feel free to remove my warning and this discussion, my warning at the end of the day was made in error. CommissarDoggoTalk?  14:02, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your reply and pointing out that it is sufficient to add the source in the edit summary. As for the discussion, there is as far as I'm concerned no need for removal. 2001:9E8:4637:F042:C969:8E0A:ACED:9FCE (talk) 15:21, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
