Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 18:13, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

Hey, I'm confused about why you reverted my edit to Bernard Rhodes
Hello Freshcolour,

You recently reverted my edit to the intro of the Bernard Rhodes article so that it now reads: "Bernard Rhodes, designer, record producer, songwriter and manager who was responsible for discovering John Lydon in the mid 1970s and guiding him into what became the Sex Pistols." To my mind, this sentence is clearly missing a verb after "Bernard Rhodes." It reads more like an entry on a list than as a complete sentence. As it currently stands, it can be summed up as "Bernard Rhodes, who discovered John Lydon." Full stop. So the sentence is just a subject; it has no object and it has no verb connecting them. Perhaps I'm missing something, in which case I apologize for the hassle, but could you explain this to me?

Disambiguation link notification for June 14
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Bernard Rhodes, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Let It Rock ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Bernard_Rhodes check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Bernard_Rhodes?client=notify fix with Dab solver]).

Recent additions
The recent additions to the Rhodes article have been removed, per the policy of Reliable sources and undue weight. Note also that special restrictions apply to WP:Biographies of Living People, and there is leeway given to reversal of any unsourced and slanted edits to biographies, so am not sure why you thought you were "blocked". I have the page watch listed, and will do the same for similar additions. Ceoil (talk) 10:00, 4 April 2020 (UTC)

Editing with a conflict of interest
Hello, Freshcolour. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Spam);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to 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 Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 18:12, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
