Edits are requests made by Jeff Mach on his behalf.

Poems are no longer relevant at his request under the events section.

His company name has changed also from Widdershins, LLC to Jeff Mach Events. If needed you can speak directly with him to verify all edits being made.

 * You are missing the point with a lot of your edits. It doesn't matter what his company name was "changed to", as there is no page for "Jeff Mach Events". I personally doesn't believe the name was changed, I believe they are using a DBA.  There is a difference. I think they still use the Widdershins, LLC name.  There is a wikipedia page Widdershins, LLC (for the record, the page started out as a page for an event and then subsequently became for the company itself, and everything the company does.) There are ways to accomplish what you intended in that case, but you need to learn how to do it.  If he is going to ask someone to make these edits, he should ask someone who actually knows how to work on and with wikipedia.  Also, it's a "works" section, not an "events" section.  It is not up to him or you to decide that they are "no longer relevant"; I'm not even sure what you mean by that.  A good article to start with that both you and him need to read is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:An_article_about_yourself_isn%27t_necessarily_a_good_thing  I believe someone may have already sent that article link to him.  There are numerous other pages to read, but that is a place to start. Centerone (talk) 03:50, 9 June 2015 (UTC)

Welcome!
Hello, Jansorandom, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Jeff Mach, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article.&#32;Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
 * The plain and simple conflict of interest guide
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * Tutorial
 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
 * Simplified Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome! Joseph2302 (talk) 00:34, 9 June 2015 (UTC)

Jeff Mach
From your above statement "Edits are requests made by Jeff Mach on his behalf", it appears that you have a conflict of interest, I would strongly advise Wikipedia's policy on conflicts of interest, WP:COI. What is your affiliation to him? If you are being paid to edit Jeff Mach, then you must disclose those this, as required by our Terms of Use, particularly those dealing with paid contributions without disclosure.

Either way, the Wikipedia conflict of interest policy strongly discourages you from directly editing this article, instead you are encouraged to suggest edits at the article talkpage, Talk:Jeff Mach, which must be supported by reliable sources. Also, so you're aware, Jeff Mach does not own the Wikipedia article about him, see WP:OWN.

If you have any questions or disclosures, feel free to reply here. Joseph2302 (talk) 00:44, 9 June 2015 (UTC)

Widdershins, LLC page Improvements
One thing you probably could do that would be helpful is improve the Widdershins, LLC page. Adding all the various events, organizing them by date. Making sure facts are referenced with citations from reliable sources. Adding photos that are appropriately illustrative in an encyclopediac way that are also properly licensed. Just make sure you stick to keeping a Neutral Point Of View and fully disclose your Conflict Of Interest and be sure to edit in a way that does not violate the policies. Thanks.Centerone (talk) 15:34, 11 June 2015 (UTC)

Thanks Centerone. I intend to place a photo of Jeff Mach which is neutral, not promoting events or anything else on the page. As to Widdershins, yes, that's probably better to move the events information there. Jansorandom (talk) 16:16, 11 June 2015 (UTC)
