Please don't add promotion for your own book (and links to it at Amazon) to any Wikipedia articles
[edit] Hello, I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions to the articles Tokugawa Iesato and Sidney Mashbir because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

Stan S. Katz (talk) 06:20, 26 April 2016 (UTC)Please help me with... Hello, I contributed content to two pages. I have studied and written about Colonel Sidney Mashbir and Prince Iesato Tokugawa for sixteen years. Both my contributions were reverted by someone who has no specialty in World War Two history or in Japanese History. The personal papers of Colonel Mashbir were acquired by me sixteen years ago, leading to insights not available before. I don't feel it is fair that my two posts were reverted. My website TheEmperorAndTheSpy.com contains a three hundred page fully documented Illustrated Timeline Gallery with documents and photos from the library of an American spy, Colonel Mashbir, that has never been revealed before. Mashbir allied with Prince Tokugawa and attempted to avoid conflict between their nations and the outbreak of World War Two and is an untold story. Next month a 18,000 subscription magazine is highlighting the novel, The Emperor and the Spy and the historical documents behind it. The Japanese American Veterans Association JAVA has highlighted and supported the novel and timeline in their 2015 Summer Quarterly Journal.
I'd appreciate your reviewing this and returning my contributions to the Wikipedia pages for these two heroes who I am shining the light upon.
Thank you very much, Stan S. Katz Stan S. Katz (talk) 06:20, 26 April 2016 (UTC)

- Hello, Stan S. Katz. There are a few problems with the information you've added and the way you've done so. But I'm going to focus on what I think is ultimately the biggest obstacle for its inclusion in the above mentioned articles.
- According to our policy on maintaining a neutral point of view – which is highly important for an encyclopedia – information presented on topics of articles should be presented in proportion to how it is covered in reliable sources. This typically means that any "insights not available before", or reinterpretations of history, receive little to no coverage in an encyclopedia. This is not a flaw, but pertains to the very mission of an encyclopedia: encyclopedias strive to give a condensed presentation of the subject as it has been covered elsewhere before. This requires the right balance (to the detriment of any groundbreaking and fringe views) as well as restraint from publishing material that has not been published before. Any new theory should first become established (not necessarily as mainstream, but at least as an established alternative view) in the academia and media. Only then can the encyclopedia present it as such.
- Judging from what you've said above, you are on your way there, but that's a step that has to be taken before an encyclopedia can report on it. I'd be happy to answer if you have more questions about this or any other issue. – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 07:36, 26 April 2016 (UTC)

The Art of Peace - Illustrated biography of Prince Iyesato Tokugawa moved to draftspace
[edit]An article you recently created, The Art of Peace - Illustrated biography of Prince Iyesato Tokugawa, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:
" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. ~~Cheers~~Mgbo120 20:13, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
