Hello, I'm Tornado chaser. I noticed that you recently removed content from Gregory Scofield without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

Author Gregory Scofield has requested these amendments to reflect his current and updated information. Gregory Scofield does not identify as “two-spirited” and opposed the use of the term when describing his sexual orientation. I’m additoon, the community of origin was incorrect, and he has requested updating to his publications. MarkOpolO (talk) 19:04, 30 December 2017 (UTC)


 * You need to cite a reliable source for anything you add to wikipedia, see WP:V, also, the article does't say he identifies as two-spirit, it says he once did but no longer does.


 * Since you seem to be editing on behalf of the article subject, you shou;ld also see WP:COI. Tornado chaser (talk) 19:34, 30 December 2017 (UTC)

Wikipedia page for Gregory Scofield
Hello and good day. This is Gregory Scofield, the author of the page you are referring to. There are inaccuracies in the information provided and I’d like to see this changed. I was never consulted about the information added to this particular page. In fact, people seem to arbitrarily add photos and information without my consent. I would like these things changed immediately. My partner, Mark Ottewell, with my consent, has removed and added current information.

Thank you,

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, MarkOpolO. 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 COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. Editing for the purpose of advertising or promotion is not permitted. 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, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the request edit template);
 * disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Tornado chaser (talk) 20:15, 30 December 2017 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you remove or blank page content or templates from Wikipedia. 2601:188:180:11F0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 23:30, 30 December 2017 (UTC)

More specifically, the determination to 'own' an article about you, without corresponding at the talk page with other objective editors, is troubling. As was the creation of a separate account a few hours ago. I'll request further assistance. Thank you, 2601:188:180:11F0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 23:30, 30 December 2017 (UTC)


 * You should read WP:OWN and WP:SOCK. Tornado chaser (talk) 00:43, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
