Hello, I'm Lord Belbury. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, One for Sorrow (nursery rhyme), but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. ''A self-published book cannot be used as a source, even about itself. An author without a Wikipedia article should only be mentioned in a Wikipedia article if a reliable secondary source writes about them in that context. goodreads.com is not a reliable source.''

 * Hi, I have never talked to a Lord, so I hope I do not additionally break some rules by this short reply. Since ISBN with a book reference is not sufficient, I am wondering whether page number will be enough. Well, I will get to thorough study of the rules at night, so for now let me just say that I am amazed by the care that Wiki overseers devote to a subject of nursery rhymes :-) Greeting from Central Europe, Sueanek.

 * Self-published books generally can't be used as sources at all, see WP:SELFPUB. That someone used a nursery rhyme as the framing device for their self-published book doesn't seem like it merits recording in an encyclopedia entry about that nursery rhyme, and could be seen as promotional. --Lord Belbury (talk) 12:29, 10 August 2022 (UTC)
