Help me!
Dear Wikipedia Staff,

After adding "Literary Adaptation" to the Wikipedia page "Hurricane (Halsey Song)" I received a message stating that my edits to the page appear to have been made for promotional and advertising reasons. This, however, is not the case. It's not about promotion or advertising. It is 100% about "fairness."

Example:

"Roman Payne" and his novel "The Wanderess" were added to the YouTube page for the song he inspired: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FR9G7ioLLmc (Please look at the credits) Yet Roman Payne was only added to the credits last February (2016), whereas the YouTube page for that song was published two years ago (Oct 16, 2014)!

Halsey and:or her management added the credit to YouTube when she realized that Roman Payne deserved credit.

There is an existing phrase on the "Hurricane" page on Wikipedia: "The song was written by Halsey and Tim Anderson."  The song "Hurricane" includes a chorus of poetry written by Roman Payne (I am a wanderess...don't belong to no man)

'''Roman Payne seeks no advertising or commercial gain. He wants the credit that Halsey already gave him, for inspiring the song. If Tim Anderson can be on the page, Roman Payne definitely deserves to be on the Wikipedia page.'''

Please help me with...

...allowing Roman Payne to take credit on Wikipedia for his involvement in the song. The song would not exist if it weren't for Roman Payne.

Thank you kindly in advance.

 * Wikipedia is extremely resistant to being used for advertising, and a note saying "Purchase the book" certainly looks like that.


 * Having said that, please read WP:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle for a guide to how Wikipedia works. If your edits are reverted and you disagree, start a discussion on the article talk page and try to reach WP:Consensus with other users. If you cannot reach consensus, there are WP:Dispute resolution processes.


 * A technique tip: you can link to an existing article by writing its name between double square brackets. So writing  gives the "wikilink" Hurricane (Halsey song). JohnCD (talk) 16:28, 19 October 2016 (UTC)
