Hello, I'm TheSandDoctor. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. ''This account appears to have been created with the sole intention of creating User:JohnMKingIV/John_McCandish_King_-_Legendary_Oil_Wildcatter_and_Financier which in itself appears to be an advertisement/promotion for what I take to be your father? It is okay to be proud of your father by all means, however promotions are not typically allowed on Wikipedia.'' TheSandDoctor (talk) 05:32, 13 March 2017 (UTC)
