Please read WP:Promotion. Vsmith (UTC) (talk 11:23, 5 July 2017 ). This is the official Book that the Old Mission State Park has slotted to sell on the subject of the Coeur d'Alene Indians and the Old Mission they helped build. It is not correct, then, to remove this new research title from a place where interested individuals would be apt to learn more about the region, people, and mission, because it includes newly-found reasearch, primary sources, from deep, untouched archives and the attic of the Mission itself. The park ranger and staff at the Coeur d'Alene's Old Mission State Park has worked closely with the author for the purpose of this research being made know. It is therefore necessary to the Wikipedia project that a title containing breakthrough research be simply mentioned in the "further reading" link. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mnberlein (talk • contribs) 17:54, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

Please read WP:SPAM. Your repeated additions (as publicist for the author) of a book title to various articles is simply spam and you can be blocked for that. Vsmith (talk) 18:27, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

Hello. I trust you are being helpful. I admit I am new to the Wikipedia community and was under the impression that the purpose of this project was to have as current information as possible available to the public. Other authors that the author has previously spoken with or have read are listed in the book title references(there are perhaps other titles also missing). Therefore, please inform me how me how a person is to lawfully update the references section when a new book is released? I would be grateful to know how the other books were allowed on the list and not this one? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mnberlein (talk • contribs) 20:18, 5 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Quite simply: we are not here to promote our own, or a friends, or a clients work. Your edit summaries and username indicate a relationship to the author - and your only edits are to promote said authors work. The "correct" way to add the work of an author is as a reference for a specific new edit; add some valid content to an article using a work by your friend/client as a reference. See WP:References for guidance. If the work in question is brand new and/ or not a peer reviewed work - or a scholarly work; then there may be other complications. Bottom line -- add content sourced to a valid reference. Vsmith (talk) 23:51, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

This is very helpful. Thank you! No worries there, it is a peer reviewed work and is the published form of the author's thesis and therefore an academic work. But thank you for the help. There's just so little information on Wikipedia on these topics and I'd like to see it updated. Best regards!
