Hello, I'm MichaelMaggs. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Pharmacist have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. The referenced article is a promotional piece for Avella Specialty Pharmacy National Distribution pharmacy MichaelMaggs (talk) 09:22, 9 September 2025 (UTC)
- Hi MichaelMaggs, Thank you for your clarification and correction. As you can probably tell I am very new to contributing to Wikipedia and though being aware of these policies I have not fully internalised them to be able to routinely notice issues like this. I am sorry my "contribution" led to having to expend additional effort on your part and achieved the opposite of the intended improvement. I am in no way affilated with this organisation, nor do I have any specific knowledge of this topic.
- I will use this occasion as a motivator to better learn how to contribute and improve my skills in order to be able to make valuable additions to the Wikipedia; I will not let a single misstep discourage me. Wikipedia has been a valuable resource to me for many years and it is my intention to give whatever I can in return and help improve the encyclopedia. Pearlple (talk) 10:29, 9 September 2025 (UTC)
- OK, thanks for your reply. There was no suggestion that you deliberately added material knowing it to be promotional, so no harm done. Thanks for your contributions. MichaelMaggs (talk) 13:51, 9 September 2025 (UTC)
