Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Republican Party presidential candidates, 2016. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism can result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 23:03, 2 July 2016 (UTC)

Email
Better we communicate openly since your concern is in regard to a content issue.

Your email stated the following:

(Link you provided)

''Please check your information. I am a Republican Presidential candidate registered with the federal election commission. Please make the corrections. Thank you Vlad Beserius Draculea''

I think you can understand why I thought your edit was vandalism, considering the name your edit listed and your own chosen user name. That said, while I'm not 100% certain about this due to the context of what you added, it's very possible that you - since you claim to be the candidate - cannot add the content you did because of Wikipedia's policy on conflict of interest. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 23:26, 2 July 2016 (UTC)

Civil communication
I recognize you are new here and don't know how we do things, why we do them, and what not to do. Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia, we are editors of that encyclopedia, talk pages are not places to use as social media, and email is not the preferred form of communication. Perhaps your use of a trout on my talk page was meant to be humorous, perhaps not. It wasn't clear since the accompanying note you left was "Speak openly then block me", which seemed passive/aggressive at best.

I'm going to leave you a welcome message after I finish this post. In that message you will see a list of things that are intended to help new users. There will be policies and guidelines contained in the interlinks. Please read them in order to have a better understanding of what Wikipedia is, isn't, what editors can do, shouldn't do, and should focus on in order to work toward building an encyclopedia. We didn't get off to a great start, but if you read the policies contained in the welcome message I'm going to post, I think you'll see that's possible to get back to a good start. Let's communicate here, on your talk page in the future, okay? If I leave you a message here, respond here - not via email (transparency is best, any future emails from you will be ignored). You are welcome to come to my talk page, but only if you want to communicate in a clearly civil manner. New start from here on out, okay? Thanks,-- WV ● ✉ ✓ 15:27, 3 July 2016 (UTC)

Welcome!
Hello, Draculea73, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article.&#32;Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

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

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
 * The plain and simple conflict of interest guide
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * Tutorial
 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
 * Simplified Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome! -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 15:28, 3 July 2016 (UTC)
