MAC Cosmetics
As a former employee with a grudge, you have a clear conflict of interest. You also may not post links to your own site. All content must be properly sourced and attributable to reliable sources. If you continue inserting biased content you may be blocked from editing. Guy (Help!) 16:31, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

User Kjbennett has never worked at a MAC store/counter, sold MAC Cosmetics, nor has he ever been a MAC Cosmetics employee. This immediately removes the possibility of conflict of interest due to a grudge stemming from previous employment. Kjbennett was contracted by MAC Cosmetics in 2002-03 in a freelance capacity, as a Featured Guest Artist to teach Video Makeup Techniques for MAC MasterClasses. These MasterClasses were conducted at MAC Pro locations, for MAC employees and paying guests...after store hours. At that time Kjbennett was employeed full-time as Key Makeup Artist for the network soap opera As The World Turns and could not have been a MAC Cosmetics employee. These MasterClasses were Kjbennett's only paid affiliation with MAC Cosmetics at any time in his career. This can hardley be equated as a conflict of interest from a former employee (with a grudge). Because of Kjbennett's affiliation with the current International MAC Cosmetic Boycott, he and many others have been maliciously targeted by David Klasfeld (an actual former MAC Cosmetic employee). User Kjbennett has never acknowledged any association with the name or account of User Dklas. Mr. Klasfeld has taken extreme measures to protect the MAC Cosmetic name whenever the MAC Cosmetic Boycott has been linked to it. Considering this behavior, it does not seem an unreasonable assumption that the User Dklas might have been created by Mr. Klasfeld to discredit User Kjbennett
 * Correction

The alleged bias content repeatedly challenged, edited/removed and cited as conflict of interest by User David Klasfeld to moderators of Wikipedia is in fact sourced content in the form of a scanned copy of the IATSE Local 798's January 2007 Newsletter containing the announcemnet of this union's acknowledgment and participation in the International MAC Cosmetic Boycott with support from the Screen Actors Guild (SAG). This document meets requirements for verifiability by Wikipedia standards (Wkipedia defines verifiable as: Finding a specific person or group who holds that opinion and give a citation to a reputable publication in which they express that opinion. Academic and peer-reviewed publications are highly valued and usually the most reliable sources in areas where they are available.) The scanned document was erroneously uploaded to one of Kjbennett's personal web domains for viewing purposes only and cited as being self promotion. The document has since been uploaded to a web-based file and picture hosting service with no link to Kjbennett ( http://www.divshare.com/download/1925772-f5c ) The information is most definitely attributable to reliable sources but both User David Klasfeld and User 24.46.123.100 (a possible sock-puppet of Mr. Klasfeld) have worked relentlessly to keep this information suppressed from many public forums for reasons only known to themselves and whomever at MAC Cosmetics they hope to protect.
