[edit]Hello, I'm Binksternet. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to House music have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. I understand you are the author of the cited source but Wikipedia cannot accept text copied straight from the source without explicit attribution as a source. I count three problems with your edit: you are promoting Montreal, you are violating the copyright of mtl.org, and you are citing yourself. Binksternet (talk) 01:16, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
- Hello @Binksternet thanks for flagging this. The informative addition was meant to share with the Wikipedia readers a piece of history for which there is not much information on Wikipedia. While the addition did quote several third-party reliable sources, I see there is an inconsistency indeed with the policy of not quoting oneself. Thanks again, the info was rephrased accordingly.
