Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did at Charlotte, Vermont, you may be blocked from editing. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings.

Here is the process you need to follow for the Charlotte page
Hi! Greetings from near you in Vermont! Welcome to Wikipedia! I am guessing from the fact that you have the account name "Cvteditor" and that you have only edited the Charlotte, Vermont page to add a mention about the Charlotte News... that you are probably from the Charlotte News. I can understand your desire to have the Charlotte News mentioned under the "Media" section.

But here's the thing about Wikipedia... you aren't supposed to add that info yourself. You have what is termed "COI" in Wikipedia language. You have a "conflict of interest" that potentially means you might not be able to provide a neutral point of view (NPOV) for the article text. You may find the "Plain and simple guide to COI" to be useful to understand this aspect of Wikipedia.

You can, however, provide a suggested addition on the "Talk" page associated with Charlotte, Vermont. Just go to that page and at the top left click on the "Talk" tab. It will take you to this Talk page. Then you can follow the link that says "Click here to start a new section" and add your request to add Charlotte News to the media section. Another editor, such as myself, can then look at that request and make the change on your behalf. Here is an example of such a request by another editor who had COI for this other page.

One other thing - you need to have reliable sources from other media sites that support the information you want to add about the Charlotte News. If you look at the paragraph about The Citizen, you can see a reference from Seven Days. So if you know of articles about the Charlotte News in other media, they can be sources for the addition of text. I realize this may seem a bit overly-complicated, but this is how Wikipedia works. If you have questions, please feel free to leave them here and I will try to answer them. - Dyork (talk) 02:57, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
