Hello, I'm Deb. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions 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.Deb (talk) 18:02, 24 May 2022 (UTC)

Oh I’m so sorry, self promotion, soap box or advertising was certainly not my intention.

In the same way that James Dyson features on Wikipedia how do other inventors get recognition? 92.40.196.73 (talk) 18:21, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
 * If they meet the Notability criteria, someone else will at some stage write an article about them. Wikipedia is not so much a way of gaining recognition as a way of informing readers about people who are already recognised as notable. Deb (talk) 07:58, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
