Help me!
Please help me with... Understanding.

Thank you for the welcome note and the comments.

The claim that my recent changes for the Holland Island House contain advertising for promotional purposes is a mischaracterization of my entry. I only stated the fact as they occurred at the time without any particular position, certainly not with regard to advertising.

However, I am willing to make adjustments to my entry, but I would need to which section is the one in question.

There was an issue with the fact that the film's development was documented on Facebook, but that was the only platform on which this took place. Within the realm of a free encyclopedia, I feel that it would counteract the idea of Wikipedia if the readers cannot get all the facts available. In today's art world, Facebook or other social media channels increasing become the virtual places where projects are developed or presented. How can the reader learn about these?

Please let me know which part of my entry is taken issue with, so that I can fix it.

Thank you. Nathalie THE ARTIST LIAISON (talk) 08:04, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Facebook and other social media websites also lacks any sort of editorial oversight that fact-checks, retracts false statements, and discloses paid content, so Facebook will never be an acceptable source as far as we are concerned. We are an encyclopaedia, and thus our articles are only as good as their absolute worst source. Also, how is "With the haunting voices of Anna Roberts-Gevalt and Elizabeth Laprelle[...]" not promotional? Not to mention that section as a whole is somewhat tangential. —A little blue Bori  v^_^v  Jéské Couriano 16:03, 19 July 2021 (UTC)


 * I read your proposed addition to Holland Island and it definitely reads as promotional - or, at least, using non-neutral language - along with failing to follow a number of other policies, such as no external links in body text.
 * You misunderstand Wikipedia's standard of noteworthiness - this is generally established by referring to a secondary source. If something is only published on Facebook, which is considered user-generated content, it fails this test. The project is not to make Wikipedia contain all facts! There is a curation process, with this sense of notability outsourced to secondary sources, so that the encyclopedia can be edited by anyone, without having to rely on individual editor's specialized knowledge or opinions. It also serves as a safeguard against the use of Wikipedia for advertising or other promotional purposes.  — jmcgnh (talk) (contribs) 16:15, 19 July 2021 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy or request a change of username. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. Additionally, if your contributions to Wikipedia form all or part of work for which you are, or expect to be, paid, you must disclose who is paying you to edit. Please also note that you are permitted to use a username that contains the name of a company or organization if it identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87". If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. Thank you. Nick Moyes (talk) 00:25, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
