[edit]Hello, Lindseygiffin, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Brianda and I work with Wiki Education; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.
I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Citing social media, promotional tone
[edit]Hello, and thank you for contributing to Wikipedia.
I removed a paragraph that you added to Free the nipple about Reddit users' reactions to the nipple bra. Directly citing the opinions of random internet users is not allowed, as anyone can create accounts on platforms like Reddit and make posts. If a reliable source (eg. a news outlet. See the green entries in Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources.) covers the opinions of random internet users, then we can cite that.
Citing social media posts from public figures (like Kim Kardashian) is okay specifically to confirm their side of events. (eg. Kim Kardashian posting about her new product line)
I am also concerned about the sentences "...the nipple bra was sold out in under a month of being up for sale. Again now in February of 2024, people are eagerly waiting for another restock. It is currently sold out in all sizes and colors." Without secondary sources (news articles, not official posts) cited to back this information up, it reads as promoting the product.
I hope this helps! Feel free to ask me for more advice. :) QuietCicada chirp 02:26, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
