Digital Chocolate article
I see you've made numerous edits to the Digital Chocolate article. While we appreciate your enthusiasm, if you are involved in some manner with Digital Chocolate, as your user name would suggest, there is a definite conflict of interest for you to make changes to the article. While corrections of errors are appreciated, Wikipedia has a strict policy of keeping a neutral point of view in article prose. Many of the edits you made introduced a number of biased remarks which violated this policy. In addition, your edits transformed the article into an inappropriate article in terms of style and wikimarkup. Before making any more changes, you may want to examine other Wikipedia article to see how they are formatted and laid out. I would also encourage you to visit the links above in the welcome message.

I have trimmed the article considerably and tried to include the "updated" information that you added, even none of it is properly referenced, as all statements on Wikipedia should be. If you want to make any changes to the article in the future, please discuss it on the article's talk page first since any information you add is clearly suspect. Please stop reverting the article to previous versions. The version I left it at is a good starting place for other editors who desire to augment it.

I'd be happy to assist you in any way I can. Happy editing! &mdash; Frecklefσσt | Talk 20:44, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Risking banning
Since you've ignored my warning about making changed to the Digital Chocolate article, I have to warn you that if you make any other attempts to use Wikipedia to further your personal interests, you run the risk of being blocked from editing. Of course, none of want that. Please stop editing the article directly. If you have changes you want to make, make them on your own website or discuss them with other editors on the article's talk page. &mdash; Frecklefσσt | Talk 20:48, 23 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi there. As Frecklefoot points out above, your changes to Digital Chocolate are in fact very problematic. Wikipedia is not an advertising vehicle, but your changes are making the article into just that - a marketing piece instead of a factual encyclopedia article. In addition, the conflict of interest pointed out makes your editing of the article - based on your username alone - an issue. I'll be monitoring the article, and if there are further attempts to change it into a marketing vehicle, I will take appropriate action as necessary. Please discuss any changes you wish to have made to the article on its talk page, instead of making them in the manner that you have been. Thanks. Tony Fox (arf!) 21:12, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
