Please do not replace Wikipedia pages or sections with blank content. It is considered vandalism. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Thanks. Samtheboy (t/c) 16:46, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Potential Conflict of Interest re: Charles Bennison
If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
 * 1) editing articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with,
 * 2) participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors,
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam);
 * and you must always:
 * 1) avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially neutral point of view, verifiability, and autobiography.

Accounts used solely for blatant self-promotion may be blocked indefinitely without further warning.

For more details, please read the Conflict of Interest guideline

If you have a concern about potentially libellous content, you are entitled to remove the offending material, but also please consult Libel and Biographies of living persons, and consider posting your concerns on the page Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard, explaining why you feel this material should be removed.

Please be advised that your proximity to the subject suggests the possibility of a conflict of interest, and Wikipedia guidelines advise editors to "avoid, or exercise great caution when [e]diting articles related to you [or] your organization." The rationale you have offered for the removals thus far -- eg. "links about scandals must be deleted per order of the Presiding Bishop" -- have no bearing on whether content should be removed from Wikipedia, as Wikipedia content does not fall under the purview of the bishop. --Rrburke(talk) 20:30, 22 May 2007 (UTC)


 * A followup: I have posted the issue to this noticeboard in case you wished to participate in the discussion in order to elaborate your concerns, and have tagged the article BLPC. --Rrburke(talk) 21:25, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Warning
Please do not remove sourced, reliable, relevant information from the Charles Bennison article. Your conflict of interest is well noted, and your edits have now become disruptive. If you continue in this manner, your account will be blocked. Rklawton 23:27, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Some kindly advice
I am a fellow Episcopalian, and I completely understand, especially in these trying times the Episcopal church finds itself in, that you may want to eliminate scandlous material. Please resist the urge -- as it's against the rules and is not worth the effort. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or need an advocate. I may take a crack at editing the Charles Bennison article, myself. Bearian 21:43, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Please Barbara Alton, should you have a problem with the content on Bennison's article, discuss it on the discussion page before you make any changes. I have found that it is quite helpful. You become a part of the creative process and can be a part of shaping the article and perhaps being shaped yourself on what is important to include or not include in this bibliography.

 * Barbara Alton, it looks like you have been ordered as a part of your job to keep vandaling the Bennison article. Could you maybe talk to Bp. Bennison and reason with him.  To have been placed in this position just seems totally unfair to any employee.  praying for you.  Revcjconner 21:28, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Barbara, if there is something you don't understand about why your removal of information from the Charles Bennison article is inappropriate, please don't hesitate to ask.

Also note that in cases where a conflict of interest exists, we recommend editiors make their editing suggestions on the article's talk page. Neutral editors can then review these suggestions and implement them if they deem them appropriate. Rklawton 13:52, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Blocked indefinitely
I have blocked your account indefinitely. It appears that the only purpose of this account is the repeated removal of sourced information from the Charles Bennison article. Other administrators have warned you and temporarily blocked you for this blatant disregard for Wikipedia policies and guidelines. However, it appears to have resumed, and while one of the central tenets of Wikipedia is assuming good faith, you have not demonstrated a willingness to communicate with other editors, such as through the article's talk page, as to the nature of your edits, despite multiple requests and chances to do so. If you wish to explain your actions, you may do so here. -- Kinu t /c  04:07, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
