Hello, I'm Wikishovel. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Dot-probe paradigm have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

Hi Wikishovel, Thanks for the message. I think providing a demo of the task has merit as a picture is worth 1000 words, and having a go yourself even more so. I'd like to find a way to do so that fits with the Wikipedia policy. I'm aware other psychology tasks have demos, so there must be a way to do this which is acceptable! Very happy for your guidance here! Is it OK if I put the participants link as an external link at the end of the article? Or can I put what I have now reinstated in the External Link section, in the Procedure and Methods section where it is more contextually appropriate? I'm keen to get this right so that I'm making a valuable contribution to Wikipedia. Thanks for your help!

Please have a read of WP:Conflict of interest, and please stop adding promotional additions for your company, as you have again at Dot-probe paradigm. Wikishovel (talk) 15:28, 12 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for providing the WP:Conflict of interest info. That's useful. It doesn't seem that I can add a link to the demo without it being a conflict of interest. Can you let me know how the external links at the end of [this page](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Implicit-association_test are OK?

There's more information on external link policy at Wikipedia:External links. Wikishovel (talk) 15:47, 12 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. On the Wikipedia:External links page it say "When in doubt, you may go to the article talk page and let another editor decide." Is there any merit in proposing the demonstration on the Dot Probe Talk Page? I'm asking because a lecturer asked me to create this task for them to demo to their students, and now that it's created it might be useful for other lecturers to have the same resource available. It's on topic, and useful, but I can see that I can't add the link myself.
