Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add soapboxing, promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. 99.149.85.229 (talk) 14:29, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

I am not using copyrighted material -- i am writing this from scratch based on history provided to me from the owner and using my own citations to provide history. Furthermore -- the history of the bagel is indeed relevant since the Georgetown Bagelry exists based on the fact that their bagels are created using historic methods for baking. I do not want to be blocked, I just want to add more history. Also -- how is deleting the facts of its history violating anything? Thanks. Mcpeacock (talk) 15:29, 27 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Well, no. The copyright infringement warning referred to your previous edits, which took content directly from the company's website. The more recent edits continued in the same vein, in that they used the website and other unacceptable sources as a references; neither the company's site nor the owner's explanation constitute WP:RELIABLE, and are promotional in tone. 99.149.85.229 (talk) 17:45, 27 May 2013 (UTC)

Okay, thanks for letting me know. The history of the bagel, the store nor the art of bagel making is meant to be promotional. How to do suggest that I make it less so? Mcpeacock (talk) 21:18, 27 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Below is a link to help find sources, though you're going to find few or none that meet Wikipedia's guidelines. Fact is, it's exceedingly rare for non-franchise businesses to receive enough attention from reliable published sources to meet notability guidelines. This one appears to have made it through so far based on multiple mentions in readers' polls in papers and magazines, but even that's easily challenged because the coverage is not in depth. If I'm ever in the area I'd like to eat there (or maybe not--Google News brings up health code violations from 2005), but its inclusion in an encyclopedia is tenuous. I'd read WP:COI, too, as that may apply here if you're at all associated with the topic. 99.149.85.229 (talk) 21:37, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
