July 2022
This is your only warning; if you use Wikipedia for soapboxing, promotion or advertising again, as you did at Clambake, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. This is an encyclopedia, not an advertising vehicle. Do not ever do this again. Julietdeltalima (talk) 15:42, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
- Who are you exactly? I'm sorry but you have completely misunderstood the purpose of my edit.
- The aim of the reference was purely educational and not promotion or advertising. I've noticed there are few references that are not relevant when it comes to original and traditional clambake and what clambake really is about, and my reference website provides the actual answer for that.
- Please explain to me how this content found on the references at clambake https://www.thespruce.com/events-and-parties-4127600 is more relevant than the one I've posted? Tancredileone (talk) 16:29, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
- It is literally an advertisement for a full-service clambake caterer and has no place in an encyclopedia. Commercial sites are not appropriate here. Please see WP:PROMO for Wikipedia's philosophy and guidelines in this regard, as well as Wikipedia's philosophy regarding reliable sources. I do not have time to address this with you further today, though, and ask you to get a second opinion from the editors at WP:TEAHOUSE. - Julietdeltalima (talk) 16:53, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
