Hello, I'm Macaddct1984. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Thumb sucking 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. Thank you. MacAddct1984 ^{(talk | contribs)} 17:12, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

TGuard links to an internal wikilink, for which an article exists on Wikipedia, not the commercial website. Please review Wikipedia's external link policy as well as potential conflict of interest editing -- MacAddct1984 ^{(talk | contribs)} 18:24, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

Ok thank you

Why is my book not allowed when my competitor books are? 2.98.246.14 (talk) 18:39, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

Several points.

• First, and most importantly as you speak of "competitors", I strongly suggest looking through WP:COI and WP:COIE. Violations of these policies will result in a ban.
• Second, see WP:OTHERCONTENT. Articles receive a lot of edits and bad ones can stick around just as well as good ones. Interested parties can slip their own material in, sometimes it gets caught, sometimes it doesn't.
• I've removed the books, as it was unsourced and seemed like an advertisement. This is the first time I've come across the article - I would recommend you take your issues to the article's talk page while disclosing your COI at the same time. -- MacAddct1984 ^{(talk | contribs)} 19:04, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

I have just checked an the link for TGuards does then take you to an internal link but this is to a brand "TGuard is the brand name for a medical device used to stop chronic thumb sucking among children and young adults"

this brand can be purchased to help with thumb sucking.

Thumbsie® is a registered brand that can help with thumb sucking. Why can one brand be mentioned but not another? 2.98.246.14 (talk) 19:01, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits referred to above, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so that you can avoid further irrelevant notices.
