Radical Feminism, your book
Hi. Wikipedia is not intended to promote your own work. Since the book isn't referenced in the article, and any evidence showing it's notability is absent, I have removed it again. If you do not agree, please discuss your reasons for including it on the talk page. If you have any questions, drop me a note on my talk page. Kind regards, Kleuske (talk) 23:34, 19 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Also, please do not use Wikipedia to promote yourself. Thanks. Kleuske (talk) 23:36, 19 July 2017 (UTC)
 * I do not understand most of this. I was not promoting our book or myself, but trying to include our work in the history of Radical Feminism. Why are some writers included but others not? Our book is available for free online at my blog, but it's odd that it's not included in the article. I've been a Radical Feminist since 1972, so am puzzled by who is included and who is not.
 * Where is your talk page and how do I reach it?

 * Ok. Easy stuff first, you reach my talk page by clicking on the "talk" link, right after my user name (Kleuske). Alternatively, just type 'User:Kleuske' in the "search"-box and click the "talk"-tab (at the top-left of your screen).
 * Including your own work and your own name, creates a conflict of interest, and generally writing about yourself (or including your own work) is frowned upon because no-one can write neutrally about themselves. If your book is significant enough, someone else will write about it. Last but not least, Wikipedia merely summarizes what reliable sources say on a subject, and, hence it is not the place to insert yourself into the History of Radical Feminism. Realiable, independent, secondary sources do that.
 * I hope this clarifies things a little. Kleuske (talk) 00:39, 20 July 2017 (UTC)
