Hi MarkBarker1986 and welcome once again. We really appreciate new editors and the new view they bring in.

Regretfully I had to remove your recent edits both on Stratego and on Horses in Art.

In both cases you brought up reference to an individual with the name Mark Barker without providing reliable sources to support the claims. In general we only we only refer to people who are notable in their own right, and since there is no evidence this Mark Barker is a notable individual we should not refer to him. Finally, your username makes me think that you are actually this person Mark Barker himself. It is generally considered to be a conflict of interest to refer to yourself on Wikipedia. If you, or your work is important some other editor should bring this up.

I hope this does not upset you, and that you would decide to stay on Wikipedia. In any case I would advise you to take the time to read some of the core policies referred to above before you continue with editing to avoid your work being removed. Arnoutf (talk) 18:06, 14 January 2016 (UTC)
