Edits to L. Grace Spencer article
Your latest edit to the article for L. Grace Spencer removed sourced content and adding extensive portions of material that are not appropriate for an encyclopedia. A statement such as "She is committed to representing the people of the State of New Jersey and her successes are a culmination of the efforts and vision of individuals who are devoted to seeing the City of Newark and the Township of Belleville achieve greatness." are puffery, not encyclopedic material. As such, your latest edits have been removed from the article. Please review Wikipedia policies which require that all material be written in your own words and be based on reliable and verifiable sources such as newspapers and magazines. Given your user ID, you may want to review Wikipedia's conflict of interest policy which sets limits on article edits by individuals connected to the subject of an article. If you have concerns regarding errors in the article, feel free to discuss them at the article's talk page or at my talk page. Alansohn (talk) 17:00, 26 February 2013 (UTC)
