Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Low self-discharge NiMH battery. While objective prose about beliefs, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you.Cantaloupe2 (talk) 06:22, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
- Hi Eyewriteit, I moved your question from User:Cantaloupe2 to User talk:Cantaloupe2 where you should have put it. Also, please remember to sign your talk page posts with four tildes ("~~~~"). Regards! Franamax (talk) 17:16, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
- Eyewriteit, you established a trend in in previous edits of posting links to where to buy the product and your tone speaking about the product made it obvious you have a motive to promote this product. You repeatedly look for ways to add pictures or mention the product by brand name so its reasonable to assume you're looking for reasons to place product brand. A person may post a can of Coca Cola in an article about "soft drink" but adding pictures after pictures of different brands of soda does not add to content. A bunch of editors replacing the existing photo with what their own product isn't constructive either. Your addition of pictures and brand name is not really adding to the contents of the subject. This article is in need of improvement and additions of well referenced contents are encouraged. For example, something from IEEE Journal would be great. Personal review sites and message boards don't meet wiki quality standards. Cantaloupe2 (talk) 17:47, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
