RINJ Article
The RINJ article is not a self Published article! Even if it were this is not your cause for vandalism on Wikipedia. There are numerous editors editing the page without feeling the need to make unfounded allegations that RINJ is associated with; supported by; fronting for; or part of hate groups. Promoting such hate is not what WIkipedia is about. It is not what the people of RINJ are about. This must stop immediately and you well know that. I suggest you properly do your research and do not continue to vandalise this or any Wikipedia page. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Bean Mouse 23:45, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

Hey, user:mobrien9279,

You're Micheal O'Brien. RINJ is run by Micheal O'Brien. The article was started by Katie Alsop. RINJ is supposedly run by Katie Alsop. I don't think that's a coincidence, making the page very much "self-published." Wikipedia is not an advertising space. The inclusion of RINJ is questionable at best, but if it's going to be here it may as well include facts. I know you don't like the controversy, but that's too bad; facts are facts.BestDef (talk) 00:04, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

Hello. It appears that you have been canvassing—leaving messages on others' talk pages to notify them of an ongoing community decision, debate, or vote. While friendly notices are allowed, they should be limited and nonpartisan in distribution and should reflect a neutral point of view. Please do not post notices which are indiscriminately cross-posted, which espouse a certain point of view or side of a debate, or which are selectively sent only to those who are believed to hold the same opinion as you. Remember to respect Wikipedia's principle of consensus-building by allowing decisions to reflect the prevailing opinion among the community at large. ⋙–Berean–Hunter—► 00:42, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

Stick to the talk page
Some advice. Take your concerns to the article talk page and discuss there in an attempt to form consensus. Don't bother with finger-pointing or claiming someone's edits are vandalism...those discussions usually devolve into a mess. Instead, start discussing your intentions logically. Stay away from editing the article (which right now, you can't anyway) as that is a good way to get into trouble without knowing policies. This is a good start... ⋙–Berean–Hun<b style="color:#00C">ter—►</b> 01:41, 17 May 2012 (UTC)
