Hello, I'm The Banner. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Cosmetics in Korea 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 are written objectively and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. The Banner talk 22:34, 9 July 2017 (UTC)

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Cosmetics in Korea. 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.

It is the style and tone and the total lack of independent sources that made it advertising. Please stop and read Wikipedia:Reliables Sources and Spam. The Banner talk 22:47, 9 July 2017 (UTC)

Maybe it is good for you to remember that Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, not an playground to do your homework. The Banner talk 01:44, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

Welcome Liakapia! Now that you've joined Wikipedia, there are registered editors!

Hello, Liakapia. Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions! I'm Yngvadottir, one of the other editors here, and I hope you decide to stay and help contribute to this amazing repository of knowledge. Alternatively, leave me a message at my talk page or type  here on your talk page, and someone will try to help. Remember to always sign your posts on talk pages. You can do this either by clicking on the button on the edit toolbar or by typing four tildes   at the end of your post. This will automatically insert your signature, a link to this (your talk) page, and a timestamp. The best way to learn about something is to experience it. Explore, learn, contribute, and don't forget to have some fun! To get some practice editing you can use a sandbox. You can [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Mypage/sandbox&action=edit&preload=Template:User_Sandbox/preload create your own private sandbox] for use any time. Perfect for working on bigger projects. Then for easy access in the future, you can put  on your user page. By the way, seeing as you haven't created a user page yet, simply click here to start it.

Hi Liakapia: Here's a slightly late welcome to Wikipedia, with links to information about our ways and how to ask for help/information. I'm afraid I've quite radically edited your addition to the article, but I was able to keep all your information. Note that it is much, much better to use a footnote than an in-line link, and how I did this and identified the references you were adding. I've also left a note on the article talk page (and you should have received a "ping" because I linked your name there). I hope this works out for your homework. If your instructor has any issues with it, please make sure they read my note. Homework assignments are sometimes problematic from Wikipedia's point of view, because our priority is for the reader to have a good article on the topic, not for students to get credit, but I believe your additions did improve the article in the end. Feel free to contact me on my user talk page (linked in my signature) or have your instructor do so ... but my internet access is patchy right now. Yngvadottir (talk) 12:43, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
