Edits to Rhone Rangers
Hello, your edits to the Rhone Rangers article has been temporarily reverted due to issues regarding a potential conflict of interest between your edits (as they seem to be similar to those of RhoneRangerPresident1 and written from a personal, first-person POV). They were also removed because, as an encyclopedia, Wikipedia aims to have entries that are neutral in tone and reliably sourced and cited to independent, third party sources that can be verified by readers. This means that we can not write entries that are sourced from personal experience or memory as edits such as this seem to indicate. We also aim to have our articles not be advertisements for organizations or WP:PHONEBOOK entries which your edits attempted to introduce. That said, you are still welcome to participate on Wikipedia and help contribute to improving the Rhone Rangers articles. The best course of action would be to first read up on our Core content policies, particularly the Conflict of Interest policy. You may also want to look at our Tutorial on how to properly format your edits, including how to appropriately cite your sources. The best course of action would be to create a "test" draft page for your edits (such as User:Clockspring/Rhone Rangers <---just click on this link to edit the page) where you can come up with a rough draft of your proposed edits. After that you would be encouraged to seek out feedback from uninvolved Wikipedians who do not have a conflict of interest with the Rhone Rangers organization or any wineries that can financially benefit from their connection to this article. You can seek out this feedback through the related Wikiproject such as WikiProject Wine or at the Conflict of interest/Noticeboard which is staffed by Wikipedians with experience dealing with articles that have COI issues.
