User talk:Hendriksson

Hi there
Hi,

Welcome to wikipedia, always nice to have new editors!

I've noticed, however, that you made some significant changes to Waterstone's recently and I would like to query why you wrote what you did in your edit summary. While I acknowledge you are a new user, the changes that you made are quite similar (if not identical) to these ones |here, the ones which I removed temporarily to the talk page for discussion. The changes you made were, in my opinion, too radical to be implemented without some form of discussion. Apart from the fact none of these statements were referenced with any citations, the tone and word style sounded either like personal opinion or an advertisement. I moved them to the talk page where they could be discussed as well as be cited and rewritten to sound less like an advertisement and more like an encyclopaedic entry. Unfortunately, you reinstated the text which you said was unjustly removed and bypassed this discussion. I appreciate the obvious enthusiasm you have to make sure these paragraphs remain in the article and I am not trying to discourage you in any way from editing wikipedia or Waterstone's, but as User:Babakathy has already done, he has flagged the statements for citations and removed the comments about the staff opinion survey. Also from that, I can only conclude that you have some sort of personal connection with Waterstone's as a company and must remind you as a wikipedia editor that COI is a core value we must maintain to remain neutral in our edits. Whatever your opinion of the company, please can you try to remain neutral when editing in future. This is not to say that you edits are to be disregarded, I am sure there is some way we can reword them to put them back into the article, but for the moment, in the interests of neutrality and impartiality I would suggest that they remain removed until they have been suitably rewritten to sound more encyclopaedic. By all means, please add you voice to the discussion |here and do not hesitate to contact me on my talk page either if you have any further queries. Much appreciated, Ran dom A rticles 20:31, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
