Hi, I just wanted to let you know why I reverted your edit in the John Carmichael (politician) article. You probably don't know this because you're new here, but copying a politicians online bio and then pasting that bio word-for-word into a wikipedia article is not how wikipedia articles are written. Even if you provide the link, which you did, you still can't copy and paste of all that bio. Anything that would be appropiate for the article should be re-added with reliable sources, other than just his bio.

If you do re-add information, please don't refer to the subject as "John", because wikipedia doesn't refer to people by their first name. Also, point-of-view or boasting comments like, "John takes pride in his strong commitment to community and family. Public service is important to John" should be left out. I'm sure the statements are true, it's just that info found on a party website or official website bio is there to promote or introduce the MP, which isn't the the case with wikipedia articles. If you need any help or advice, feel free to leave a message on my talk page. Cmr08 (talk) 07:13, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
