Hello, I'm Walter Görlitz. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Apocatastasis 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. I am not sure who Mark Ellingsen is, or your relationship to the subject, but please do not link to the author until there is an article about the subject, and do not add additional works by the subject unless it is clear that the author is a subject matter expert and the book is indispensable.

Please stop adding REFSPAM; and possible COI
Betseyellingsen, I've undone ten of your recent edits because they constitute a type of spam we call WP:REFSPAM (reference spam). You are welcome to edit Wikipedia articles in order to improve the encyclopedia, but if you are here on a personal project to increase the number of references to Mark Ellingsen, that is against the principles of editing here, and is strongly discouraged. I notice that since Walter Görlitz left his message above, you've made another 20 or so edits of the same nature. Perhaps you didn't notice his message before now. Once you've read his message and this one, please stop making any further additions of citations about Mark Ellingsen to Wikipedia. You are more than welcome to edit the Talk page of any article, and make a suggestion that the article would be improved by adding a citation to Ellingsen to the article, and then wait for some other editor to make that addition. However, if you continue to make such additions to the article yourself, you risk having your editing privileges suspended.

In addition, given your username it seems likely you may have a conflict of interest. If you intend to continue editing at Wikipedia, you should have a look at WP:COI, and follow the instructions there. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me below or at my Talk page, or you may ask for further assistance at the WP:Tea house. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 05:03, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
