Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, as you did at 2019 Northern British Columbia murders, you may be blocked from editing. Praxidicae (talk) 21:56, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
Review WP:Reliable sources for what counts as a reliable source on Wikipedia. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 22:51, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
- Please stop citing your own blog. There are two issues here. The first is that you're citing yourself. This is allowed within reason, but you're clearly crossing the line into self-promotion by describing yourself as a bestselling author. Second, Wikipedia generally does not allow self-published sources. There are exceptions for subject matter experts, and its possible that you could qualify under this exemption. However, what you should do is post what you want added to the article's talk page, explain why you might qualify as a subject matter expert, and use the {{requested edit}} template. This will alert people to your conflict of interest and allow a third party to validate the content to make sure it is both relevant and neutrally-worded. I realize that these conditions may seem onerous to you, but Wikipedia is not supposed to be a soapbox for just anyone's opinions. If you have questions or concerns, you can post them to our new users' forum. We will gladly help you and try to better explain Wikipedia's bureaucratic rules. But please try to follow our best practices for COI editing if this is the tack that you wish to take. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 08:58, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
