Hello, I'm Belbury. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Dubai Marina 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. Belbury (talk) 10:07, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
- Hello Belbury, I found the Dubai Marina area guide on Bayut quite informational and detailed that's why used it as a reference. Can you please share the reason why it is not an independent source, because I didn't find it promotional or from a profit perspective. Devansh.Supramind (talk) 11:02, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
- I am just trying to understand which sources I can use and which I cannot. And how can I make sure that the source I'm using is the right one? Devansh.Supramind (talk) 11:04, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
- The issue was mostly the heavily promotional style of writing (eg.
With so many luxury brands and high-street businesses, Dubai Marina Mall and Ibn Battuta Mall appeal to shopaholics.
), but yes, you should also use reliable secondary sources rather than real estate websites. Belbury (talk) 11:07, 11 July 2024 (UTC)- Sure, thanks for the info and help, really appreciate it. I will definitely take care of that in future edits that I'll do. Devansh.Supramind (talk) 12:28, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
