Brad Blum
Hello, I recently noticed that you made some substantial contributions to the article on Brad Blum. I reverted these changes because they did not correspond to Wikipedia's policies on neutral point of view. There are several issues that problems within the article that necessitated rolling back your contributions:


 * while it was properly cited, the citation format used was improper (The citations were not linked to the citation list.)
 * the article was full of WP:Peacock statements, that is to say, they were full of statements that were more in line with a professional piece of copy editing found in a corporate profile than an encyclopedia. Example - He oversaw a successful turn around in the company prospects. vs He personally initiated a multi-pronged system that reoriented the company's synergies. This highly focused program resulted in spectacularly reversing the company's fortunes. As you can see, while the two sentences basically say the same thing, there is quite a difference in the two statement's content and the light in which they present subject.

The article you wrote indicates to me that you may be a paid contributor who was presenting the subject in a more favorable light than writing a neutral article. If you are a paid contributor or are closely connected to the subject, you are required to disclose this information per Wikipedia policy. Please feel free to help improve the article, but in a way that is inline with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. --Jeremy (blah blah • I did it!) 19:44, 25 February 2016 (UTC)
