Poetic1920, you have exceeded WP:3RR and need to self-revert your changes. If you have content you think should be included and that you have reliable sources to support the content, then I can help you add the content and format the sources. However, if a change you make is reverted, then you need to discuss the content here on the talk page as per WP:BRD. – Wallyfromdilbert (talk) 03:37, 6 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Let me know if I am doing this right! Poetic1920 (talk) 03:43, 6 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
No, you are not. You need to revert your changes and then discuss them here on the talk page as per WP:BRD. The external links you added are still inappropriate spam, and as far as I can tell, the rest of the content you added is either unsourced or not sourced to reliable sources. If you do not revert your changes, you very likely could be banned from editing for a period of time.– Wallyfromdilbert (talk) 03:46, 6 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Ok specific help where do I put this source? https://hutchinscenter.fas.harvard.edu/black-periodical-literature-project Poetic1920 (talk) 04:02, 6 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I can add that source as a citation for you. Please note that you need to remove the other inappropriate content you have added to the page, including the external links you added, the arbitrary selection of "selected articles" that has no sourced criteria for inclusion, the use of the word "recently", the unsourced claim about "winner of numerous awards and fellowship", the unsourced claims about her published poetry, and the inappropriate content and source for the claim that her music "has been set to music" (not an independent reliable source). – Wallyfromdilbert (talk) 04:12, 6 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Ok you'll see that I've been cutting away! You are right the article needed pruning thank you! Poetic1920 (talk) 04:15, 6 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
can you let me know how I should include some books and articles as sources for the claim that she has authored books and articles?Poetic1920 (talk) 04:20, 6 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
You should not do that, as that would be WP:SYNTH, a type of "original research" since you are drawing a conclusion from separate primary sources to state a claim that is not made by an secondary source. For the claim that she has authored books and articles, you need to have independent reliable sources that makes that claim. You also still need to remove all the external links and articles you added, as well as the claims about her published poetry that are not sourced. Please note that Wikipedia articles are not resumes and are not meant to act as WP:PROMOTION. – Wallyfromdilbert (talk) 04:29, 6 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Great thank you! Yes I will keep cutting! I didn't add the links they were there previously but I agree I can keep cutting away. I appreciate your guidance. I may finish this tomorrow though. Thank you!Poetic1920 (talk) 04:35, 6 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Poetic1920, thank you for removing your problematic additions. One final thought I have is that it would be better too move the "Selected articles" back into their own section, so that in the future a criteria can be developed for what to include in there. I appreciate that you finally started discussing your changes, and I hope you will make sure to do so in the future rather than repeatedly reinserting inappropriate content. Many people here are willing to help you. – Wallyfromdilbert (talk) 04:40, 6 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you! I appreciate that! I came after a friend alerted me to some vandalism interspersed with people trying to help so it was hard to sort it out. It seemed better to start from an earlier edit. I'll follow your suggestion and thank you!Poetic1920 (talk) 04:44, 6 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sure some additional content can be found to add to the article with reliable sources. I'll try to take a look at some point in the next week. Let me know if you have any questions or can use any help. – Wallyfromdilbert (talk) 04:52, 6 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Wallyfromdilbert I don't want to revert the last cut because I don't want to get in an edit war, but could you revert it while we work on getting it right? I appreciate your help! Poetic1920 (talk) 15:19, 6 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The content was removed by Drmies, who is a very experienced editor. I think that you should try to address the concerns that they left in their edit summary for the removal. I will copy the content over to a new section below, and we can try to figure out whether any would be appropriate. – Wallyfromdilbert (talk) 17:01, 6 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Edit Request

[edit]

Could the paragraph below be the second paragraph in the Career section so that it is in chronological order:

Robbins has been the recipient of numerous fellowships and awards, including the 2014 Johns Hopkins University Alumni Excellence in Teaching Award,[1] a 2015 Johns Hopkins University Discovery Award,[2] and a 2017-2018 fellowship from the National Humanities Center.[3]

Mailperson (talk) 21:45, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Mailperson, thanks so much for clarifying where you suggested that paragraph moved. I have done so but I have not added back the language about “numerous fellowships and awards” as to my ear it is promotional and more neutral simply to mention some of them.

[edit]

Could the paragraph below be the last paragraph in the Career section? Mailperson (talk) 04:10, 10 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Mailperson, this looks similar or identical to a paragraph proposed in your sandbox. It was/is heavily reliant on primary sources as well as risking becoming promotional, so I trimmed it back to note the subjects discussed; readers interested in the publications may see the footnotes. As for the poetry set to music, as I mentioned before, policy precludes us from citing self-published sources, like this personal website, unless written by the subject of the entry (and even then, only in special cases). So absent a reliable source, I had to leave it off. I hope all that is clear. Innisfree987 (talk) 04:39, 10 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
