Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you. 2601:19E:4180:6D50:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 18:08, 2 June 2023 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Haploidavey. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Spurius Postumius Albinus (consul 186 BC) 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 should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. ''References to modern novels (or other fictional works) not relevant here, or in the Bacchanalia article. Please see WP:SPAM'' Haploidavey (talk) 18:11, 2 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Greetings, and thank you for your help.
 * Indeed, we may not have found the correct section to enter this information into, due to newness to the platform.
 * Many fiction and nonfiction titles are cited in sections such as "In Popular Culture" or in "In Literature."
 * As far as we know, there is only one book on both Spurius Postumius Albinus and the Bacchic Conspiracy--either fiction or nonfiction, in English or Italian--which makes Memoirs of Spurius the go-to book on its subject(s).
 * Could you therefore offer us guidance as to how to make this objective reference appropriate to Wikipedia?
 * Thank you,

 * Thank you for being forthcoming, Oliver Logan. There are a few overlapping issues of concern. Firstly, there's a baked-in WP:COI, conflict of interest, when you edit as an agent on behalf of your author. This manifested in the inappropriate promotional edits made today in the body of several Wikipedia articles. There's also your reference to 'we,' which implies that you're editing on behalf of the publisher, or that the account may be used by more than one editor. Taken altogether, you are advised not to edit on behalf of a client; any further promotional edits may lead to a block of this account. Please take the time to read Wikipedia's guidelines. Thanks, 2601:19E:4180:6D50:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 20:34, 2 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks very much for this feedback, Haploidavey. I appreciate the lengths to which you have gone to express what we should have been aware of before using the platform. Best wishes, Oliver Oliver Logan (talk) 07:09, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
