Information icon Hello, I'm RunnyAmiga. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to List of English terms of venery, by animal have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

Information icon Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to List of English terms of venery, by animal. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you.

Information icon Well, RunnyAmiga, you are certainly taking my edits completely the wrong way. I was cutting and pasting and by your second message I understood that there is to be no advertising and promoting of one's work in Wikipedia.org. If you paid attention in my last edit, I did not even post a reference at all. I simply inserted two words: "tarantulas" and "campaign" into the table. I invented this animal collective term and used it in one of my stories, as there is no animal collective for "tarantulas" in existence anywhere. For spiders, the collective is "clutter", but this animal collective is not appropriate for a mass movement of tarantulas. Check your attitude a bit. I do mine, all the time. I do not mean to be disruptive at all. I simply need help with the proper way to edit and make posts. You could be more helpful, and less aggressive. By the way, do you know of an animal collective name for tarantulas moving en masse?
