Hello, I'm Why? I Ask. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, 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. ''Adding a self published video as a source breaks conflict-of-interest editing guidelines on Wikipedia. If you continue to add such content it will be removed.'' Why? I Ask (talk) 03:48, 4 July 2022 (UTC)

Edit: If you continue to add such things, you may be banned from editing the alto clarinet article. Why? I Ask (talk) 14:17, 4 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Why? I'm just adding to the list of repertoire specifically written for the eb alto clarinet. I am the composer of this piece and cited accordingly Thewoodwindguy (talk) 17:11, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia has certain policies and guidelines in place that all editors should try their best to follow. One of these is SELFPUB where self-published sources are generally discouraged unless proven to be written by an accepted subject matter expert (e.g., an already published professor). Adding a piece to the listing that has not garnered any coverage in third party sources is not constructive to the project (especially if it is a piece you wrote yourself). It's akin to self-promotion. Simply put, your piece is not yet notable enough to be mentioned in an encyclopedic article. Why? I Ask (talk) 17:40, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
