Portland Farmers Market
Thank you for contributing to Portland Farmers Market. However, your changes remove critical aspects of a Wikipedia article: notability is no longer asserted; reliable sources were removed; the neutrality of the article has disappeared. Your changes make it read like an advertisement. As a result, I have reverted it back to its previous state. Feel free to edit it again, but this time be sure to take care to follow Wikipedia's core guidelines, which I've added to the top of this page for your convenience. —EncMstr 01:57, 15 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Once again, you have rewritten the article to be an advertisement. Please carefully and thoroughly review What Wikipedia is Not.  Also, see The Lead Section.  —EncMstr (talk) 17:29, 20 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi there, I share EncMstr's concerns. Please read up on our conflict-of-interest guidelines and also our business FAQ. Note that constantly reverting the work of others is not a good way to have your desired changes stay in the article. It is known as "edit warring" and does not reflect well on the organization you represent. Wikipedia works by consensus. Please start discussing the changes you want to make on the article's talk page and do be mindful of our policy about article ownership. Thanks! Katr67 (talk) 18:08, 20 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Angelamcg, as many of your edits are controversial, it might be better to make one or two small changes at a time. That way some of the changes will survive instead of being rolled back altogether. If you are new to Wikipedia, it can be overwhelming to grasp all of the "rules". You will eventually want to familiarize yourself with the policies EncMstr links to, but I know it can be hard to digest everything at once. The most important thing to understand is that we strive for a neutral encyclopedic tone, so that our articles don't sound like press releases. If you make one change at a time, we will be able to help you see which ones are okay and which ones aren't, and then we can explain the reasons why and point you to specific policies and guidelines. I know you're here just trying to improve the encyclopedia, and I'm excited about that. We enthusiastically welcome all WP:good faith contributors. Take it one change at a time, and we'll help you get up to speed. Thanks Northwesterner1 (talk) 18:15, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
