[edit]Hello, I'm IagoQnsi. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Historical particularism 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.

Self-promotion, again
[edit]Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Historical particularism. 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. 32.218.36.219 (talk) 19:56, 12 February 2018 (UTC)
Franz (Uri) Boas
[edit]Please don't edit war over the inclusion of Boas' middle name in the first occurrence of the article, it is a matter of house style and policy that we always include the full official name in the first mention which is also bolded. Look for example at the article about James Dean or Noam Chomsky to see this rule in operation including little known and rarely used middle names. ·maunus · snunɐɯ· 21:14, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
