Gareth Ward
First of all, welcome to Wikipedia - I note the edits you made to Gareth Ward were you first and only edits to date.

In my opinion, though, the edits constituted a combination of borderline vandalism and non-NPOV personal promotion. Some of the new information was, perhaps, relevant but was not cited and you included no new new sources.

If you are an employee, relative, close friend or the person about whom the article is written your non-NPOV edits may be considered in violation of WP:OWN - I'm certainly not suggesting you are but biographical articles about political figures (esp. those still alive) tend to suffer from this the most so I thought it was worth mentioning.

Please do not delete sources or citations - these demonstrate that the information included is a matter of public record. You are free to disagree and if you wish to dispute the veracity / relevance of a source you are more than welcome to discuss the matter on the article's talk page, HERE.

Please discuss your changes rather than simply deleting content without cause. Looking forward to your contributions.
