Hello, I'm Enjoyer of World. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Samuel Smith Old Brewery 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. Its clearly promotional given the piped external link and the use of "we" and "our". enjoyer|talk 10:46, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
 * If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits referred to above, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so that you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

Response to rejection of proposed edit.
It is clearly "promotional" in the way you describe - but is promoting "Friends" of the operation that is the topic of the page and encouraging like-minded contributions.

(Would be happy to set up a separate "Friends" page internal to Wikipedia?)

 * Wikipedia is not the place to promote anything. If this "Friends" is notable--that is, having a significant coverage in WP:Reliable sources (not just a trivial mention)-- it can be mentioned in a neutral and encyclopedic manner. If it's not notable, then just don't add it. enjoyer|talk 11:25, 7 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Would also suggest you give this page a read. - wolf  12:51, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
