Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Alan B. Slifka with this edit, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you.

Please do not add unsourced or original content. Doing so violates Wikipedia's verifiability policy. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. GaneshBhakt (talk) 19:35, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

I am puzzled by your interest in the Wikipedia article about the philanthropist Alan B Slifka. On the one hand, you have removed text based on information published in what Wikipedia calls "reliable sources." On the other hand, you have added material that seems to be your own opinion, a practice that Wikipedia calls "original research" and does not accept as source material for article content. Please discuss any changes you think should happen on the article talk page, and I would encourage you to learn more about Wikipedia policies if you want to edit articles here.
