Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you. GermanJoe (talk) 16:44, 1 August 2019 (UTC)


 * Specifically, please stop spamming sales links for Sykes' travelogues in multiple Wikipedia articles - see also WP:COI for more information, in case you have a conflict of interest regarding these publications. Thank you. GermanJoe (talk) 16:48, 1 August 2019 (UTC)

Apologies, my intention was not to use these pages for advertising. Given that The Realm of the Punisher book is an authoritative and up-to-date source for these topics, can I either post external links that aren't sales pages or simply mention the book and its relevance to Marcos, Philippine Literature etc?

 * Hello Craggyman, please disclose if you have a connection to the author or publisher (as explained in WP:COI and WP:PAID respectively) - such a disclosure is mandatory. But aside from this aspect to clarify, it would be better to suggest these additions of recent publications on the article's talkpage anyway. The source might be interesting, but academic publications or other expert sources are preferred over travelogues for encyclopedic information. For example, contemporary historical or political developments should be evaluated by historians or political experts in secondary sources (interviews usually count as primary sources in this context). Hope these tips and additional thoughts are helpful. GermanJoe (talk) 20:53, 1 August 2019 (UTC)


 * Article-related issues are usually best discussed on the article's respective talkpage. But if you would like to get general advice about Wikipedia editing from uninvolved editors, you can also ask at WP:Teahouse (a forum for new editors). Volunteers there will also be glad to help with any Wikipedia-related question. GermanJoe (talk) 21:00, 1 August 2019 (UTC)
