Hello, I'm Tanbiruzzaman. An edit you recently made to Portlaoise seemed to be a test and has been removed. If you want more practice editing, the sandbox is the best place to do so. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. → Tanbiruzzaman &#128172; 09:30, 6 June 2023 (UTC)
 * In this edit at User talk:Tanbiruzzaman, you mention that The Search for the Portlaoise Plane is your book, which you have self-published. This is not a reliable source by Wikipedia standards, and your addition of a reference to this book within this Wikipedia article can be seen as self-promotion.

 * Dear Sir/Madam. Self promotion? No. Not in this case. THe book's author is the same person who found the lost plane and is therefore very, very relevant in what is a fascinating story of a recording-holding machine that became lost for over 50 years.
 * The person who searched for and found the plane is the same person who tells the story.
 * Thank you. Joe Rogers. 82.10.115.142 (talk) 14:13, 6 June 2023 (UTC)
 * The way in which the text has been added to the article is blatantly promotional. Read about it in ... -- that's an ad, man, and everybody who sees it knows it. The fact that you found the plane and wrote about the experience yourself makes this a primary source, and therefore not even valid as a reliable source to cite. It doesn't help that you do not appear to have any bona fides as a legitimate historian. If your story has been told by a local newspaper (where, one presumes, your facts might have been checked by an editorial staff), we could cite that newspaper story, but not the book directly.
