Declined edit request

Hi, following the recent declined edit request I thought it might be useful if I was to refer you to the relevant policies, i.e. WP:NOTPROMO and WP:NPOV. I've no doubt that non promotional text could have been drafted and submitted instead of repeatedly resubmitting versions of material that had been previously been described by other editors as promo. Ultimately Wikipedia articles cannot be used as platforms to list all the great things that a subject has done while essentially performing their day job.

I would suggest that you go back to the drawing board on this, and open a new edit request with entirely redrafted (and substantially shorter) text written from a neutral point of view.

Also, if in future an edit request is declined, please do not repeatedly resubmit what is essentially the same material over and over again. Regards, Axad12 (talk) 18:12, 19 October 2024 (UTC)
