Is there any problem of WikiPedia policy if the following is added under section 'external links' or by other name? Someone seems to have objection about it.

Publications

edit

For some reason there is an edit conflict about an edit that includes mention of a book.[1][2] The other editor expressed a concern that this is starting to veering toward promotional territory. WP:PROMO.[3] A non-promotional listing of the book in a "publications" section is how other articles handle this issue. So I have implemented that. Any reviews of the book by reliable published sources would go in a different section. User generated reviews (like on Amazon) or promotion blurbs by booksellers are not considered reliable under Wikipedia rules. -- Toddy1 (talk) 11:07, 16 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

I agree that its inclusion in the body of the article would be promotional. There is no reliable source that has mentioned the publication of this book as a noteworthy event in relation to Ali Sina. It is a self-published work and has not received any attention from secondary sources. As to its inclusion in a "publications" section, I can't find any guidance on Wikipedia regarding that.

Your version seems alright. Can you please put your advice in the topic - 'Adding websites as external link' (on this talk page)? Kawrno Baba (talk) 07:06, 27 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
