I'm sure you didn't mean to, but this edit you just made (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Andy_Ngo&curid=61181719&diff=1031493348&oldid=1031493071) didn't just restore the two sections I removed, and that you mentioned in your edit summary, but also the four subsequent edits I made that were aimed at substantially improving the credibility of this article by restoring NPOV and adhering to WP:BLP. Would you please kindly self revert the deletions of the four subsequent edits in question? Thankyou. TomReagan90 (talk) 23:19, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
 * No, those edits also appear to be at least in part objectionable. This edit, specifically, is prohibited by policy - we do not directly link to commercial retail websites in an effort to drive sales of a particular book. Linking the ISBN is permitted, as this allows readers to access the book through a wide variety of outlets. That you personally want to drive sales traffic of Ngo's book to Amazon is not a permissible use of the encyclopedia. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 23:27, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Cute. I'd never heard of him until a few hours ago vis a vis Mumford & Sons, and from what I can tell, politically, he's not my cup of tea I'm afraid. TomReagan90 (talk) 23:39, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
 * "A few hours ago"? Bullshit. –dlthewave ☎ 01:42, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
 * So was your misleading edit summary a deliberate attempt at deception, or a simple accident? TomReagan90 (talk) 23:40, 1 July 2021 (UTC)

Reversion
Why did you revert this? Proxima Centauri (talk) 07:54, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Because we're not here to spread scurrilous gossip. Your framing of the issue is quite simply out of bounds, and a discredited alt-right provocateur who was last seen becoming an "ex-gay," is not a meaningful or reliable source of "reports." NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 17:32, 18 July 2021 (UTC)
