Hello, I'm AntiDionysius. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Kelvin Droegemeier have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. AntiDionysius ( talk ) 17:44, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Kelvin Droegemeier. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you.

Please stop. If you continue to add promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. AntiDionysius ( talk ) 18:03, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I noticed that you may have recently made edits while logged out. Please be mindful not to perform controversial edits while logged out, or your account risks being blocked from editing. Please consider reading up on Wikipedia's policy on multiple accounts before editing further. Additionally, making edits while logged out reveals your IP address, which may allow others to determine your location and identity. If this was not your intention, please remember to log in when editing. Thank you. AntiDionysius ( talk ) 18:03, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you use Wikipedia for promotion or advertising. AntiDionysius ( talk ) 18:07, 26 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the note! I apologize and thought I was doing something wrong in terms of editing -- and that's why I thought my addition of a book kept disappearing!  The book is one I published that is a resource for everyone in higher education and it is free - published open access by MIT Press.  I receive no financial benefits from it because all royalties for hard copies go to the general scholarship fund of my university. I am just trying to make students and early career faculty aware of the resource.  If this isn't allowed, I understand.  Again, I thought I was doing something wrong in terms of the edits not being saved as I'm not familiar with all of the tools on Wikipedia.  I would be grateful for your guidance about how to proceed.  Thank you! Kdroegemeier (talk) 12:20, 27 June 2024 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Kdroegemeier. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Kelvin Droegemeier, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for article subjects for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the edit COI template)—don't forget to give details of reliable sources supporting your suggestions;
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see );
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see );
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. AntiDionysius ( talk ) 17:45, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
