Hello, I'm Asparagusus. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Artist-in-residence 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. —asparagusus (interaction) ^sprouts! 16:18, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I'm confused about this handling. I'm neither copying and pasting information for Wikipedia nor promoting any organization. The text I edit is collected from official websites and then processed by myself. Could you please point out where the actual issue lies?　--Normalwriter (talk) 17:20, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The first version you added was very much the same as content at https://tlb.nmtl.gov.tw/en/resident_about.php. The second version you added because it appeared to be promotional. But it was still only lightly paraphrased from the cited source. Aslo, out of the thousands of artists in residency programmes worldwide, what makes that one residency notable enough to be the only one listed in this article? I don't think it is. — Diannaa (talk) 16:22, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
