Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia. While
objective prose about products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be
a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Thank you.

- On a case by case basis, what you've added is acceptable. What makes your edits questionable is that they appear to be advertising a particular publisher. This has tipped it into 'advertising' territory.

- Actually, User:Tedickey, not I, removed your book suggestions. I was merely suggesting, as an experienced editor to a new one, why your edits were interpreted as advertising. The JPS talk to me 19:12, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
A file that you uploaded or altered, File:Philippa and Grayson Perry and family.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree files because its copyright status is unclear or disputed. If the file's copyright status cannot be verified, it may be deleted. You may find more information on the file description page. You are welcome to add comments to its entry at the discussion if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. McGeddon ( talk) 14:03, 20 June 2013 (UTC)
