The nature of your recent edits gives the impression that you may be using Wikipedia to promote a book, The Gender Trap: The Trans Agenda's War Against Children by Carla Curtis. 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. Additionally, if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for article subjects for more information. We ask that you:
 * avoid editing or creating articles about colleagues, companies, organizations, clients, or competitors;
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Paid-contribution disclosure. Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Isaidnoway (talk) 08:18, 8 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Thank you so much! This is all new to me, so I appreciate you letting me know what steps I need to take. I did disclose myself, I thought. I am an unpaid volunteer. But with your comments and others that I received, I completely understand what I need to do differently. I'm not disappointed with the decline at all! This is a learning process and experience. I'm reading more Wiki articles before I attempt to publish another article. I appreciate your comments, as well as, everyone else's! In some, I simply misunderstood the rules, but I have a clearer understanding of them now. I am grateful for the comments! I hope you have a wonderful day!
