Your essay about Herbert Dunn
Thank you for your contribution to the Wellness article. Your essay wasn't an appropriate addition to the article, because it wasn't in encyclopedia style, so it was removed. Note that there is already an article in Wikipedia about Halbert L. Dunn. TimidGuy (talk) 16:11, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

Please do not directly edit the article about yourself
Hello, Donaldbardell. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Donald Ardell, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Melcous (talk) 21:27, 27 November 2018 (UTC)
