Excellent page work[edit]

Looks very good to how it originally was. I DRINK APPLE JUICE (talk) 03:17, 24 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The additional links provide the reader with significant content.[edit]

Hello,

According Wikipedia guidelines, Works by an AUTHOR is appropriate links for the External Links section of his article, & the additional links provide the reader with significant unique content. So please do not revert my correct contributions. [1] Thank You, Sir blue (talk) 12:04, 8 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'll repeat here what has been said on our user talk pages, for the benefit of other editors of this page.

Works by Waddell might be considered to be appropriate links for the External Links section of this article. However, that section already contains a link to a collection of them; and there's another section higher up listing the titles of his published books. Singling out two to link again outside of that context suggests that these are works of particular merit or notability. They are not.

If you want to use Wikipedia to promote an idea or a concept that you believe deserves more attention than it gets, there is only one legitimate way to do this: by writing about it from a neutral viewpoint and providing reliable sources. Waddell is not a reliable source on the subject of race, Middle Eastern history, or the origin of the alphabet.

Hello User:VeryRarelyStable,

I do not want to promote anything; I just wanted to add some of author’s works (books) in external links, for further readings,

Please stop judging people based on their contributions, I only have legitimate good-faith additions intended to help build the encyclopedia.

Works by Waddell are considered to be appropriate links for the External Links section of this article.

I again and again checked other external links and there is no other link to the full text of the books, please before reverting, PLEASE show any link to the full text of the books?! Sir blue (talk) 09:41, 10 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I will no more add these external links, instead will add Wikisource page. Sir blue (talk) 09:48, 10 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
