Editing to publicise or promote anything is not permitted by Wikipedia policy. Also if you are connected to someone or something you have written about (a few examples are writing about yourself, your work, your band, a member of your family, your client) then you should be aware that Wikipedia's conflict of interest guideline discourages you from writing about that subject. The main reason for that is that experience over the years indicates that editors with such a connection to a subject they are writing about are likely to find it very difficult, or even impossible, to stand back from their writing and see how it will look from the detached perspective of an outsider, so that they are likely to write in ways that look promotional to others, even if they sincerely think they are writing in a neutral way.

Almost all of us, when we start editing Wikipedia, know little or nothing about Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, so nobody can be blamed for starting out doing things that are contrary to policies and guidelines that they don't know about. However, continuing to do the same things after being told about the relevant policies and guidelines is a different matter. Pleas do not continue to edit to publicise your work. Editors who persist in editing contrary to Wikipedia's required standards may be blocked from editing by administrators. JBW (talk) 23:40, 2 February 2021 (UTC)
