SPA/COI
To date you have only edited FMG - which would lead any editor who iswatching the FMG article to automatically suspect WP:SPA, WP:COI and a very distinct lack of WP:NPOV. The edit pattern suggests you are a PR person or Web 'watcher' doing work for FMG. Expect to be blocked and have your edits reverted. Unless a very WP:AGF and somewhat explanatory response aleviates others suspicions. Wikipedia takes SPA/COI issues quite seriously. satusuro 06:45, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

I'm not sure I understand why. All the changes I have made are supported by references from the official website and/or media outlets. If you review the changes you will see they are only updating information. Is it Wikipedia policy to reverse changes as you described without review? Byron Vale (talk) 06:50, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

Edit histories usually reveal a lot about an editor, the fact you edit FMG only, immediately puts you under suspicion, if you are not in fact part of FMG's corporate staff, then your interest by only editing their article may be innocent enough... I personally am not touching your edits, I simply am reflecting what another editor might do - and a quick look at your edits, and the assumption you must have something to do with them (FMG) and block you on the spot.

Also updating can also remove earlier references that are still valid refs. The cleverest PR tricksters would indeed attempt to look innocent doing such edits from a perspective of verifiable [[WP:RS}} in the process of doctoring info for the benefit of the organisiation/company.

So to clarify, I am not touching any of your edits, but warning you from the evidence available, another editor might automatically come to the assumption that editing literally only one article for the space of time, there is no argument otherwise... cheers. satusuro 07:01, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

SatuSuro, I very much appreciate your observations and I have the upmost respect for Wikipedia volunteers. I don't suppose you could point me to a webpage that outlines the process or guidelines for editors. Am reading the links on WP:SPA, WP:COI and a very distinct lack of WP:NPOV now
