Hello VViking, thanks for the update. Which contributions were considered advertising? I just looked at my edits and see that many of them were reverted, including a translation of Italian (on the Tosa page) that is far more accurate than what was previously there. Can you please explain how this works and why I was marked for advertising?

Thank you,

Did you read the information already provided to you? If not I recommended doing that first. However your main issue is provided "references" that link to companies or organizations that are not Reliable according to the guidelines.VViking_TalkEdits 17:27, 13 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I saw you editing Tosca with difficulties. I haven't looked at any edit (yet) - for lack of time, today having changed plans to update a soprano who died - but would just ask you to not give up too soon. Michael (Bednarek) has always been extremely keen-eyed and helpful, in 10 years by now, so the "not listening" might be both ways. He is good in German, which might help to avoid misunderstandings. If you feel strongly about your changes take them to the article talk page. Tosca should be watched by many. - An alternative might be to say it doesn't really matter much. (I am in a situation where was told to walk away, and feel I can't, so I'd understand that as well.) - I saw Madama Butterfly yesterday, in a great performance. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:20, 17 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
