Hello, I'm Shoy. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Jumping into large scale editing of contentious articles as a new account often creates problems. Start with small scale changes and gain consensus on article talk pages before making large edits. shoy (reactions) 21:40, 18 January 2019 (UTC)

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Vaginal steaming. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you.

Please read WP:BRD. Once you have been undone it is up to you to discuss your edits on the articles talk page and attempt to get consensus to include the material. Meters (talk) 21:45, 18 January 2019 (UTC)

I didn't look at your entire edit, bu the first sources you used were completely unacceptable. We don't use spas' webpages as reliable sources. Meters (talk) 21:47, 18 January 2019 (UTC)

— Hi! I'm just learning how all of this works. I apologize, I thought that the previous editor had removed my content on account of preferring their own. I am happy to discuss edits so that they are fair and balanced. I feel strongly that the current content is extraordinarily biased, painting vaginal steaming in a very negative light. As someone who has benefitted greatly from this practice, I would like for balanced information to be shared IN ADDITION to the laughter and criticism. I understand that spa websites should not be cited, however, I am curious why pop-culture websites with articles written by non-experts are any different? The current version displays several, very biased pop-culture articles and I would like to balance those with some sources who have dedicated their lives to understanding how the practice works. Can I try again? SBrashear (talk) 22:00, 18 January 2019 (UTC)

The place to discuss it is Talk:Vaginal_steaming. Reliable sources may carry weight, anecdotal evidence does not. Jonathunder (talk) 22:12, 18 January 2019 (UTC)
