Welcome!
Hello. Please be assured I have no conflict of interest in this matter. Mr. Schlesinger has revised the Bio that you wrote, and has requested that I substitute it with his more expedient version. His version corrects a few inaccuracies, and also reflects the achievements for which Mr. Schlesinger is most proud, and the life details he would most like to share with the public. If you would like more detail in this matter, please contact me again. In the meantime, please allow me to complete the changes Mr. Schlesinger has requested to his Bio, before contesting them. In all probability, you will find the new version agreeable.

Thank you, Maia


 * Your comments are a perfect indication of a conflict of interest. You are violating Wikipedia policy by your edits. If you continue to do so, you risk being blocked, and you will have achieved nothing. A much better alternative is to propose changes to the article on the article talk page and obtain a consensus that the changes are appropriate.--Bbb23 (talk) 18:58, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure inaccuracies violate Wikipedia policy. My goal is to correct them. Therefore I will submit the corrections regarding Joe's bio to the Talk page.

Hello, Electric.company.pics, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I notice that one of the first articles you edited was Joe Schlesinger, which 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. 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 any other 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 firm 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.)

Here are some pages that you might find helpful: 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, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome! Bbb23 (talk) 18:35, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Joe Schlesinger shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. Bbb23 (talk) 18:55, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

You state that you are editing the article at the subject's request, which is in itself a violation of WP:COI and WP:AUTO. Wikipedia is to be an objective source of information, and articles written/edited by or at the request of their subjects are by their very nature biased.
