Artificial intelligence art

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_intelligence_art

I created the above page several years, every going fine until now.

A user DaveOomah that keeps trying to update the page over the last couple of days with basically what is a record of some random sale. It is not a notable sale event of any significance at all. Thousands of AI Art is sold everyday, and this user keeps reverting the page to include a sales event on the page and the mention of a website.

The source they keep referencing is a Japanese coin exchange website, not a major news outlet or even a art website for that matter.

Clearly this a form of Self promotion, as no one else would even care about this sale. The user " DaveOomah " only other contributions to wikipedia was in 2018 about the Legal history of cannabis in Canada. No one would continually try to include a random sale like this on wikipedia without a vested interest.

Can you please help me to get him to stop reverting the undo. This information does not need to be on this wikipedia.

Thanks

@Norttis: Dave Oomah is doing something wrong, and you should tell him this on his talk page, but please make sure you do not violate the three-revert rule. 🐔 Chicdat  Bawk to me! 12:39, 8 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I've started a thread with a bit more detail on the article talk page, and pinged the user, and let them know that their edit should not be reimposed until either you two come to an agreement, or a broader consensus by asking others has been made. Their edit certainly does look promotional, but if that publication is actually reliable, then a rephrasing might just squeak it in. Nosebagbear (talk) 14:45, 9 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

  1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment, or
  2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. MrOllie (talk) 18:34, 30 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
