Hello, I'm NekoKatsun. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions 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.

The Storms edit
Great to hear from you! I reverted your edits because that book has very little to do with Into Thin Air or the upcoming movie - unless you have a reliable source that says otherwise, though I doubt it as the book was published after the movie's filming began. Honestly, and please accept this in good faith, your edits came across as very promotional - like you're the book's author, or the owner of that lone review (five stars, incidentally) on Amazon. I get how it could be seen as relevant to the 1996 Mount Everest disaster page, which is why I haven't re-reverted your adding it again. Regarding the Into Thin Air page: is The Storms a direct rebuttal, as Boukreev's book was? Based on the book's description and the snippet I could read on Amazon, probably not. In that case, it doesn't belong on that page. You might be able to add it into the "further reading" section, though. As far as the movie, production began back in 2013, so I seriously doubt that The Storms is being used as inspiration. As a matter of fact, the book's publishing date is close to a year after filming finished. NekoKatsun (talk) 01:26, 9 June 2015 (UTC)
June 2015 edit
Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Everest (2015 film). While objective prose about beliefs, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you.

Your recent edits edit
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:
- Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
- With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button (
or 
) located above the edit window.
This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.
If you have a source stating that the film was based on any/all of those books - and not just on the events that the books were also based on - please add it. Until then, Sock has the right idea about leaving them out. I understand that you were on the mountain in '96 and as such this doubtless holds great importance to you, but please, be careful of adding unsourced detail.
