Euthanasia Coaster[edit]

Wikipedia is not the place to promote things. Not every single mention of a subject belongs in the article, otherwise it would be filled with examples. ... discospinster _talk 04:11, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Every single one of the pieces of art under popular culture is a promotion. The mention of the forthcoming novel has been removed. If you revert the edit again I will report you for an edit war because clearly this is about something else, a personal bias perhaps. Donutholeveronica (talk) 04:18, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed the other one that did not have any third-party reviews included. All the others are from authors or creators that have Wikipedia articles of their own. ... discospinster _talk 04:20, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That is absolutely not true. Not all of them have Wikipedia articles of their own. Donutholeveronica (talk) 04:21, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, they do, and the one that doesn't is accompanied by a third-party review. Stop adding entries that do not belong in the article. ... discospinster _talk 04:28, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A third party review? It's a link to the actual short story mentioned in the post. What do you mean? Donutholeveronica (talk) 04:30, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:SOURCELIST and WP:NOTDIR for information. ... discospinster _talk 04:32, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Notability doesn't apply to content within an article but to a standalone article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability

Please revert my latest entry. I have requested page protection and will request my entry be reverted and protected. Donutholeveronica (talk) 04:40, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

September 2023[edit]

Hello, I'm Discospinster. 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. ... discospinster _talk 04:17, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The last edit you removed has no mention of the book. Stop this. Donutholeveronica (talk) 04:20, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop. If you continue to add promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, as you did at Euthanasia Coaster, you may be blocked from editing. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 06:19, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Daniel Quinlan I didn't know I couldn't include that so as it had been requested I removed mention of a forthcoming book edits ago (as I mentioned in the above your comment) if that's what you mean. The post is simply a mention of a short story (with citation) that belongs in the Popular Culture section with the other similar mentions from other authors. And the citation went to the story itself. No need to threaten. If this is still somehow violating something please explain. I am not an expert here. I am simply trying to post this information. Donutholeveronica (talk) 06:24, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Donutholeveronica, 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 organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template);
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.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Daniel Quinlan (talk) 06:50, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Daniel Quinlan Please stop threatening me. Like I said, I am simply trying to post one sentence and a citation. Every time I post here someone has a new thing to accuse of my post. I complied with the removal of the book promotion edits ago, like I said in my last post. The last edit that was removed is simply adding to the Popular Culture section just like the rest of the entries there so I don't understand what the issue is. At this point I feel like it is because mine is the only post that mentions queerness because every time my post is in compliance a new "reason" why it's out of compliance comes up. It feels rather targeted. Donutholeveronica (talk) 06:59, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Here is what I posted in the community to someone's response. I am asking for assistance but people are just making accusations and threats:

Hi Thanks for responding so quickly. I have explained a few times in my Talk section (in two different threads) that I was unaware about the book mention not being allowed so I removed it edits ago when I realized what that admin was saying. The most recent edits that were taken down were about an existing story and included a citation to the story. I am confused why there is still an issue. They mentioned something about notability but from the wikipedia documentation that refers to an entire entry not the contents of an entry. Plus this author I'm trying to post about is legitimate and published.

Yes I believe I posted the page protection in the wrong place. But as you can see from my post here about the edit war, the instructions are a bit over my head. That's why I asked for help. I am not trying to start or maintain an edit war. I am trying to end it. I am trying to get someone to understand that my original post has been edited to comply with guidelines. There is an existing piece of literature that belongs in that section and was cited.

I didn't even know what an edit war was before I started googling for some help and came across it. I am simply seeking help for this issue. Donutholeveronica (talk) 07:07, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Someone in the help desk has been actually helping me and explained that the source I need is a secondary source. This is the first person to actually be helpful and not accusatory and offering incomplete information. Not everyone here is familiar with the nuances of this platform. Everyone starts somewhere. In the future I hope you consider being clearer and less threatening and accusatory. Donutholeveronica (talk) 08:11, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I did explain above that you needed a third-party review, which is a secondary source. ... discospinster _talk 18:02, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I didn't understand that primary sources were not sufficient. Which is similar but not exactly the same as what you said. I am just learning how things work around here. Donutholeveronica (talk) 22:21, 1 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
