Hello, I'm BU Rob13. I noticed that you recently removed some content from The Blueprint Magazine without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; I restored the removed content. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. ''In particular, please do not remove all references from an article without clearly explaining why in an edit summary. Doing so can be highly disruptive. Thanks for your contributions!'' ~ RobTalk 03:18, 22 July 2015 (UTC)

Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with The Blueprint Magazine. If you believe the page should not be deleted, you may contest the deletion by clicking on the button that says: Contest this speedy deletion, which appears inside the speedy deletion notice. This will allow you to make your case on the article's talk page. Administrators will consider your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. Thank you. ~ RobTalk 03:40, 22 July 2015 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Iyrondavis. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you have an external relationship with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article The Blueprint Magazine, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

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.
 * 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. Note that Wikipedia's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.

Balanced coverage
Hi, Iyron. A wikipedia article must be written from a neutral point of view, covering all aspects of its subject, not just those aspects which are favourable to people connected to the subject. If you get your way, and the article The Blueprint Magazine is not deleted, then it will be necessary to consider how best to cover the extensive criticism that the magazine has received. I see, for example, at https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/theblueprintmagazine.com, the statements "This is a fake publication that just scams you to advertise with them. The printed magazine doesn't exist. Their Facebook likes are fake. The whole thing is a simple sham run by Iyron Davis to get companies to pay him for advertising. They have an F rating from BBB because of similar complaints." At http://www.ripoffreport.com/r/The-Blueprint-Magazine/Smyrna-Georgia/The-Blueprint-Magazine-Iyron-Davis-Contacted-our-company-for-samples-and-to-pay-for-the-ad-1113469 I see "Our company was one of the I'm sure many to be scammed by The Blueprint Magazine. I waited several months patiently to see if I would receive a reply but never did.  A member of our staff was contacted and asked for samples of our products and asked to pay $100 for the advertisement. Was also informed we would be featured for free in one area of magazine. After trying to contact The Blueprint Magazine for advertisement related questions, no one would ever reply to emails or return or answer (google voice) phone call." Naturally, it would be necessary to check carefully what sources were used, to make sure they are reliable, but it does seem that a significant proportion of the independent coverage of the magazine is highly critical, so a balanced coverage would probably need to give significant prominence to such critical coverage.
