Legal threat
Your recent edits to User talk:SMcCandlish could give Wikipedia contributors the impression that you may consider legal or other "off-wiki" action against them, or against Wikipedia itself. Please note that making such threats on Wikipedia is strictly prohibited under Wikipedia's policies on legal threats and civility. Users who make such threats may be blocked. If you have a dispute with the content of any page on Wikipedia, please follow the proper channels for dispute resolution. Please be sure to comment on content not contributors, and where possible make specific suggestions for changes supported by reliable independent sources and focusing especially on verifiable errors of fact. Thank you. While the threat was delivered anonymously, by 173.77.173.111, the wording in the text and in your recent dispute at Talk:Andy Segal indicates that you are the same person. — SMcCandlish   Talk⇒ ɖ∘¿ ¤ þ  Contrib.  07:02, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

Indisputable of conflict of interest
Hello, Hudsonapa. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Andy Segal, you may need to consider our guidance on conflicts of interest.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you.

Andy Segal overhaul
I really worked the article over (hours worth), fixing up citations, removing trivia like elementary school, improving the lead section (e.g. should mention key facts like world records, not trivia like where he used to hang out), tracking down archive URLs for now-dead web pages, reformatting stuff to fit our layout standards, removal of promotional links per WP:EL, adding wikilinks (many of them are read due to missing articles, but we need those articles so they'll be blue eventually), and yadda yadda. It's really looking up. I think it would not quite pass Good Article nominations yet, due to a few remaining citation problems, and probably some potential trivia (e.g. some of the really specific location details might not be considered specific, but I guess that's up to the reviewers). — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ &gt;ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ&lt;  16:40, 26 November 2017 (UTC) PS: I also reassessed the article as C-class (up from Start-class), and as High priority in cue sports (he's a world champion and multiple world-record holder), and took the dispute banners off of the top of the page, since the disputes are resolved. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ &gt;ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ&lt;  17:04, 26 November 2017 (UTC)
