User talk:76.94.202.101

January 2023
Hello, I'm CT55555. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Guru Jagat 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. (talk) 01:28, 14 January 2023 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to add promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, as you did at Guru Jagat, you may be blocked from editing. (talk) 04:44, 14 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Can you please advise as what is promotional? 76.94.202.101 (talk) 05:13, 14 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Most of your edit was promotional. It deleted negative things that were published in reliable sources, and it added a lot of fluff that was from primary sources. The link at WP:PROMOTION will give you more context. CT55555 (talk) 05:18, 14 January 2023 (UTC)
 * May we go point by point?
 * I wrote:
 * Katie Griggs, (1979 to Aug 1, 2021) professionally known as Guru Jagat, was an American poet, entrepreneur, speaker, Kundalini yoga teacher, author, and the founder founder and CEO of seven global businesses including RA MA Institute for Applied Yogic Science and Technology, RA MA TV, RA MA Records and the Guru Jagat Collection.
 * This is more accurate and more specific than what is currently written:
 * Guru Jagat, was an American Kundalini yoga guru, podcaster, author, and the owner of both a fashion brand and record label.
 * Is it soapbox to mention her businesses by name? To me that adds more accuracy. Would you assist me in adjusting this so that it is approvable? Thank you 76.94.202.101 (talk) 05:11, 15 January 2023 (UTC)
 * The lede (the opening part) summaries what is contained within the article and verified by sources. Right now, we could not have that lede, I think, because the article does't support the claims of poetry and the seven businesses. But assuming the poetry and seven businesses are true, we could make most of the changes. We would probably not mention the names of the businesses unless they were notable (i.e. they had their own wikipedia article) but I'm not certain about that, that could be open for debate.
 * So if that is your goal, first up, share a couple of sources that back up the poetry and the 7 businesses.
 * To your question: am I willing to go through this line by line...I'm not sure. If your goal is to add as much positive as you can about her and remove everything negative, then you are on a path that is too close to WP:PROMO and I won't help you. My enthusiasm to fix bad changes is high, my enthusiasm to help anyone white wash an article is low.
 * If you are open to learning how wikipedia works, and following policy, I will support that.
 * To your final question, it is not soapbox to mention her business by name. It is better to do so. We should do that, absolutely in the main part of the article. In the lede, I am not sure. But note please that articles don't exist to capture every detail of every thing. We focus on what is published in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, so what websites say connected to her say are much less important than what independent journalists, authors say about her.
