Hello, I'm Walter Görlitz. I noticed that you recently removed some content from MxPx without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; I restored the removed content. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. When you remove referenced material, you are causing problems. Walter Görlitz (talk) 03:10, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Cnbartch. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article MxPx, you may have a conflict of interest.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Based on you should not be removing referenced material from the article since you are working for the subject. Walter Görlitz (talk) 03:26, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
 * In short, you and your PR firm are welcome to add referenced material to the article, but removing material from the article to attempt to change the image of the band is not acceptable at any time, under any user name. Walter Görlitz (talk) 03:31, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

Not biased
The edits I'm making are not biased and do not cause a conflict of interest. The references that were removed are very much out of date. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cnbartch (talk • contribs) 03:29, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
 * That's the thing with references, they don't go out of date. If Wikipedia had been around just before Copernicus had published his theory of the solar system, it would have had an article about an earth-centred solar system with references to the leading scholars of the day. Then after the publication, as more and more scholars added their opinion, the article would have changed, but the old material wouldn't have been removed.
