Hello, I'm VeryRarelyStable. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Odin 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. Thank you. —VeryRarelyStable 23:27, 9 February 2021 (UTC)

It was completely factual information, regardless that I wrote the book. Nothing recent was listed in that section, and as such it was relevant information. I did not link to the book, nor encourage anyone to purchase, therefore should not be considered an advertisement. Penelopi Fen (talk) 23:46, 9 February 2021 (UTC)


 * There are many fictional depictions of Odin that go unmentioned in that same section despite the fact that the works containing those depictions are notable enough to have their own Wikipedia pages, such as Neil Gaiman's American Gods or the webcomic The Order of the Stick. If they're not deemed noteworthy enough to cross the line – considering how very long the article would get if it were to include anything approaching an exhaustive list – then I'm afraid your book isn't either. As an absolute minimum, it must be discussed in a reliable source that is independent of its author and publisher before it belongs on Wikipedia. —VeryRarelyStable 08:10, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

I understand. Just saw it as a fun way to go further, as I have been a Wikipedia fan and (small) donor for years. Really looking forward to more wiki-rabbit-holes of research, and hopefully my future contributions will be more acceptable. Penelopi Fen (talk) 17:52, 10 February 2021 (UTC)
