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

This edit was not meant as promotional and was provided with references that were further (based on your comments) replaced with ones that are not from related company website. It was a description of an event that occurred and is significant to this town (even significantly affecting the Google search statistics). Please describe what kind of references do you consider to be suitable. Thank you! KnowItAll2016 19:13, 10 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your response; I could have been more patient. I put a modified version of your last edit back up and kept the Jalopnik (a known impartial source) article as a reference. As a word of advice, most editors will react in one fell swoop to YouTube links and tons of mentions of a company, a company's website, or links from that company that seem like pressers. Using piping to stylize words and put them in ALL CAPS also does not help you seem like an impartial editor rather than a COMPANY SHILL BECAUSE LOOK AT THE NAME OF THE COMPANY ALL IN CAPITAL LETTERS DESPITE THE WIKIPEDIA PAGE BEING WRITTEN NORMALLY. You see how distracting (-ly effective) that is? Especially on a brand new editor, it reeks of someone intentionally adding material that violates our guidelines on conflicts of interest and neutral points of view.

 * Thank you! I see your point, of course. Will keep this in mind from now. I also added a citation from "Alutiiq Musem". But other two places that you have marked could be also verified from Jalopnik website. So I referenced the first citation in these places too. Would you please check if it is ok this way? Thanks again. KnowItAll2016 21:24, 10 May 2016 (UTC)
