Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to User:Dragarcher. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. JBW (talk) 15:21, 17 February 2020 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Pharmacist, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Please use a secondary WP:RS source for each content item you add or change.

• I have read your message on my talk page, and your email. You seem to be making a mistake which is very common among people who come to edit Wikipedia for the purpose of publicising something they think deserves to be better known, namely assuming that "promotion" refers only to commercial promotion for the purpose of making a profit. Telling the world that something is really a good thing and that everyone should know about it is promoting it; telling the world "this application is certainly a must-try" is promoting the application.
• I see that you have re-created the promotional page which had been deleted after you had created it, under a different title. Please don't do that again. Persistently posting promotional material may lead to being blocked from editing by an administrator.
• If you have a personal connection to Locoomago then you must read Wikipedia's conflict of interest guideline before you do any more editing relating to Locoomago or Locumago, and make sure yo comply with that guideline.
• My advice to new editors is that it is best to start by making small improvements to existing articles, rather than creating new articles. That way any mistakes you make will be small ones, and you won't have the discouraging experience of repeatedly seeing hours of work deleted. Gradually, you will get to learn how Wikipedia works, and after a while you will know enough about what is acceptable to be able to write whole new articles without fear that they will be deleted. Over the years I have found that editors who start by making small changes to existing articles and work up from there have a far better chance of having a successful time here than those who jump right into creating new articles from the start.
