Hello, I'm WikiHannibal. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Gary Winnick 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. WikiHannibal (talk) 06:21, 16 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi @WikiHannibal, the entry for philanthropist is neutral, I used the US government IRS Reports, which are very independent. I'm confused on why you think that is promotional or soapbox.  Philanthropy is using wealth for charitable contributions.  If I can cite neutral sources that support that why is that controversial or promotional WikiFinanceNews (talk) 14:50, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
