Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Frank Gehry, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. Thank you.

Frank Gehry
Please review WP:BRD. When your Bold edit has been Reverted by another editor, the next step, if you continue to think the edit is necessary, is to Discuss it on the article talk page, not to re-revert it, which is the first step to edit warring. During the discussion, the article remains in the status quo ante. Thanks, Beyond My Ken (talk) 21:23, 8 February 2017 (UTC)

Conflict of interest
It occurs to me that "gpllp" might stand for "Gehry Partners LLP". If this is the case, there are several problems:

(1) Our username policy does not allow the names of organizations which could potentially be used by anyone in the organization. The rule is "one person, one name". Now if you want to change your username to "Steve at Gpllp" or something similiar, that would be fine, as long as you are the only one to use the username. See WP:CHU to change your username.

(2) Please read our policy on conflict of interest. Obviously, if you work for Gehry Partners LLP, you have a massive conflict of interest which in antithetical to our policy of having our articles represent a neutral point of view. If you do have a COI, and continue to edit in ways that show that point of view, you could be limited to not editing the article, but only making suggestions for edits on the tlak page. In the worst case, you could be blocked from editing altogether, so it is in your interest to follow all of our policies.

(3) Although we allow paid editing, there are distinct rules that cover it, which are laid out in the terms of service. In short, you must declare that you are a paid editor. If you are paid by Gehry Partners LLP, then you are, automatically, a paid editor, whether or not it is your specific job to edit Wikipedia. If you work for a PR firm hired by Gehry Partners, then you are a paid editor.

If you wish to keep editing Wikipedia, it is in your best interest to read, understand and follow the policies I have pointed you to. Beyond My Ken (talk) 21:33, 8 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Please do not edit Frank Gehry again until you clear up the question about whether you are connected to Gehry Partners LLP. If you do edit the article, I will bring this to administrators and ask that you be blocked from editing. Beyond My Ken (talk) 21:49, 8 February 2017 (UTC)
