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

 * I wasn't adding promotional material, I happened to be researching these 2 items and found articles relating to both Ancistrus, and aquarium plants that I thought could be useful on wikipedia, especially since the aquarium plants article said it needed more citations.

Conflict of interest
Hello, Mel.Law86. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Ancistrus, 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 organizations 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 request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Spam);
 * 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.  Velella  Velella Talk 09:52, 5 May 2023 (UTC)
