Content must be from a reliable published source and presented in an neutral manner
Hello, I'm TheRedPenOfDoom. I noticed that you made a change to an article, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! 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.

The highest quality of sources are required for any claims in any manner about any living people mentioned in the article or elsewhere. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  03:53, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
 * [[Image:Ambox warning pn.svg|25px|alt=|link=]] Please stop adding unreferenced or poorly referenced biographical content, especially if controversial, to articles or any other Wikipedia page. Content of this nature could be regarded as defamatory and is in violation of Wikipedia policy. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
 * You MUST follow WP:BLP at all times and in all spaces about all living people when you write on Wikipedia. Your comment at the Article for Deletion discussion has been reverted as you are STILL making inappropriate claims about living people without providing sources that meet Wikipedias standards as reliable published sources to back your claims. Continued actions on your part in the same manner WILL result in you being blocked from editing. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  05:28, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

Potential conflict of interest
Hello, Joyful Hawbaker. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may need to consider our guidance on conflicts of interest.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom  03:53, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

BLP violations
Please read WP:BLP and stop posting diatribes against other individuals all over Wikipedia. We have dealt with the article and it is now highly likely to be deleted. That's enough. Thank you.--ukexpat (talk) 05:24, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

I feel for you
You may be correct but wikipedia has strange rules. Anything posted here needs to be backed up by reliable sources like newspapers, books or either online. Blog sources don't count. Your information may be the truth, but without back-up by others then editors have the right to remove it. Sorry if this seems harsh, but that is the way wikipedia works.--Canoe1967 (talk) 05:32, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
