editHello, I'm Dennis Brown. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to The Sentinel (video game) 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. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 11:36, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
- Hi Dennis,
- Augmentinel is an unofficial *port* of the The Sentinel, which runs the *original game code and data* on a modern operating system. I feel that is completely relevant to the wiki content for The Sentinel and of direct interest to visitors of the page. It's not a commercial program and the no money is made from it either directly or via website advertising, so I don't understand how it's considered promotional/advertising.
- Could you explain how mentions of Sentry and Zenith are allowed but Augmentinel is not? They are fan-make recreations rather than original ported code. The Zenith page link is to an external website, which is all I added too.
- I hope you'll review your decision or apply the rules consistently.
- Best regards,
