Hello, I'm Mr.weedle. I noticed that in this edit to List of Alpha Tau Omega brothers, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Mr.weedle (talk) 00:44, 11 August 2022 (UTC)


 * @Mr.weedle I did not remove. I added.  Jeff Burton is a consultant and is changing the landscape with this new website.  Let me know if you see the changes. Jburton1963 (talk) 00:47, 11 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Sorry this was a revert for your addition of an external link - not sure why the software place this specific warning. Please refrain from unnecessary external links. Mr.weedle (talk) 00:58, 11 August 2022 (UTC)
 * @Mr.weedle why do you keep deleting my edit? my name was there, just tried to add to it. you deleted me all together. why? Jburton1963 (talk) 01:31, 11 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I deleted the external link you added to a company. Mr.weedle (talk) 01:32, 11 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Please also note Wikipedia discourages editing about yourself. Please refer to this article.  Conflict of interest Mr.weedle (talk) 01:33, 11 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Your name was there because . However, as the message below explains, lists of this type are intended only to include only people who are established as notable and who therefore have an article in the encyclopedia. You do not; hence your entry at this article was removed. See the explanatory links in the several messages below, along with WP:AUTOBIOGRAPHY and WP:COI.

 * Don't really know what to do anymore. Jeffery V Burton was in the Wikipedia page under ATO.  All I did was add the company he is owner.  Then all the other stuff happened and now it says I am in an 'edit war'.  Not sure what that is.  I am the only one that added the company.  It has completely removed the name now.  Please help.  Teach me what I am doing wrong instead of just removing me from the process. That is counter productive.  I need help. Jburton1963 (talk) 01:42, 11 August 2022 (UTC)
 * What you should do is: read the messages below and the Wikipedia policies that are linked to them carefully. Whether you are Jeffrey Burton or his employee, you are not permitted to edit the encyclopedia to add an entry about him, as those policies explain.

Hello. Your recent edit to List of Alpha Tau Omega brothers appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person, organization or product added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. Thank you.  General Ization Talk  01:09, 11 August 2022 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you.  General Ization Talk  01:10, 11 August 2022 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at List of Alpha Tau Omega brothers shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you do not violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Hello, Jburton1963. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Spam);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. 2601:19E:4180:6D50:0:0:0:6BB1 (talk) 01:46, 11 August 2022 (UTC)
