Hello, Johnhanes. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. People with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, see the conflict of interest guideline and frequently asked questions for organizations. In particular, please:


 * avoid editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, its competitors, or projects and products you or they are involved with;
 * instead, propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the template);
 * avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, the Wikimedia Foundation'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.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing, and autobiographies. Thank you.

Edit warring
Apologies for all the messages, but I also need to make you aware that reverting policy based edits just because you disagree with them is not a good way to go and will end up with you being blocked from editing. I have explained why I made the edits which make the article more compliant with key policies including WP:V and WP:BLP. Please desist or if you want to argue for inclusion make policy-based arguments on the talk page. SmartSE (talk) 19:17, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

WP:POINTy edits
It appears that you are disappointed with the editing of Serban Ghenea and are following those editors elsewhere and reverting their edits without any reason. If you continue this behavior then you will be blocked. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  19:40, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

November 2015
You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abuse of editing privileges. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text below this notice:.

 * John, you were blocked because your IP address was found to be the same as Cavalino06's - see Sockpuppet_investigations/Johnhanes/Archive. If you are to be unblocked you will need to explain why this was the case. You say you work in the same building and no doubt they told you about it or asked you to intervene, which does indeed make you a meatpuppet (it's a stupid word but hey). While Rayman's behaviour hasn't been exemplary, his actions are far more aligned with the wider community than yours, accusing him of having a vendetta against you will do you no favours whatsoever.

I do work in the same building, I was told that his page was marked for deletion. I wasn't asked to intervene, but on my own did post some arguments to try to clear up some of the issues. I did make some corrections such as putting back that the subject did in fact win Grammy Awards and took offense to the statement by Rayman60 that he didn't think someone in my chosen profession, who has reached the heights of excellence that the subject has reached, was not important enough to have a wiki page because to that particular editor he was not a household name. To be honest I really don't care if I am blocked, unblocked, deleted, dismissed, or put on double secret probation. My actions have affected the subject of the article and other editors and I am sorry for that and am trying to clear this sock puppet/meatpuppet issue up so that others are not penalized. At this point, with what in my clearly non-wiki opinion are editors gone wild in subjects that they have no clue about and dismiss the great work of great men as acts as trivial as serving coffee. As I'm pretty sure nothing will be done to reign in that editor's behavior, I don't really care to participate or be associated with wikipedia at all. Wiki seems to choose the uneducated opinions of your editors over the facts of the world. SmartSE, you have been kind enough and civil to myself and I appreciate that; I didn't realize I was undoing your changes and not Rayman60's changes at the time. I was upset that mentions of people winning Grammy awards (and I too am a winner) were being deleted and minimalized. If you'll show me how, I'll show myself the door and delete my account; perhaps that can pay some amends and clear some of my fellow music professional's of my wrongdoing.
