If anyone can advise, please do
I am new to Wikipedia. I am not clear how to object when you edit a page and the edit is removed. I am putting it here. If anyone can advise, please do.

I edited an article on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_Tzu.

I added: "In 2018 The Revised Art of War by Keiran Proffer was published in the U.K. This is the first complete revision of Sun Tzu’s work in the English language." This change was removed the following day.

Under history it showed: (cur | prev) 17:19, 4 May 2018‎ Underbar dk (talk | contribs)‎. . (30,833 bytes) (-162)‎. . (Undid revision 839585632 by Cath Writer (talk) need to clarify what's meant by "revision" here, otherwise i don't see the need to WP:ADvertise another version by a self-published author) (undo | thank) (Tag: Undo)

'Need to clarify what's meant by "revision"'. Easy to ask, but a full explanation would take some time. Basically ′The Art of War′ was made as a series of terse jottings, in quite a random order, and which frequently wander off the point of the chapter. A revision, putting the notes into a logical order, and re-arranging the chapters, has been made in Chinese, but ′The Revised Art of War′ is the first revision in the English language.

 * Links to self-published content, especially when it's shamelessly obvious that you are that author, don't tend to be treated with respect here. If somebody else finds your book relevant to the article, somebody without a conflict of interest, they might add a link; but you should not do anything of the sort. -- Orange Mike &#124;  Talk  16:06, 5 May 2018 (UTC)


 * Information.svg Hello, Cath Writer. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the article Sun Tzu, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the request edit template);
 * disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. -- Orange Mike &#124;  Talk  16:06, 5 May 2018 (UTC)
