Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not add promotional material to articles or other Wikipedia pages, as you did to Cajón. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Stomp box. While objective prose about beliefs, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you. Logical Cowboy (talk) 14:33, 25 September 2012 (UTC)

Hello Logical Cowboy, I don'ty appreciate your message or your edit of my additions to either the "Stomp Box" article or the "Cajon" article. I believe that your very subjective missinterpretation of my additions are unfounded and incorrect. I added objective information under a new heading of "manufacturers" and then added several different company's names. I also added some pictures from one of the main Australian manufacturers of Cajon drums and acoustic stomp boxes. Before my edit there were several pictures of the same brand of both cajon's and stomp boxes, which is much more biased than my additions. I also find it suspect that you would choose to remove my addition of "Pratley Percussion" from the manufacturers list of the "stomp box" article, yet leave behind the name and link from two other manufacturers. I may be a new editor to wikipedia, but I believe I have provided accurate and objective information to both these articles. How can you accuse me of using them for advertising and then remove only one manufacturers name and not the others. This leads me to believe that you may have a vested interest in one of these other companies.

I will continue to edit these articles with objective information for the public to read and, if you continue to accuse me of using wikipedia to advertise I am more than happy to submit this conversation and the articles to the "neutral point of view noticeboard" in order to get some OBJECTIVE input from unbiased reviewers.

Thank you

 * Dear Peter, thanks for your comments. I am happy to confirm that I do not have a vested interest in any stompbox company.  I warmly encourage you to create Wikipedia articles about notable stompbox companies.  Here is a link for creating articles WP:Article_wizard.  Then you can link from other Wikipedia articles to your newly created Wikipedia articles.  However, just inserting links to "for sale" pages on external sites is considered advertising.  Have a nice day.  Logical Cowboy (talk) 02:50, 27 September 2012 (UTC).  PS: I would add that when you add content to articles, please do not tag these edits as "minor edits."

Dear Logical Cowboy, thank you for the very helpful information. I did not realize that linking to a manufacturers website would be considered advertising. I now understand that the acceptable thing to do on Wikipedia is to link to other wikipedia articles instead. I also thought that what I was doing would be considered "minor edits", now I know better. Thanks for the helpful information, sorry for being so defensive in my first reply.

Thanks
