First of all, the material removed from the Kevin Andrews page was blatantly pejorative. Wikipedia has earned a reputation for a strong liberal bias and I have seen it many times on this site. Second, Life Decisions International gave permission for the use of their text. The group is referenced several times on Wikipedia, but every time I try to create a page about the group it is delete for one reason or another.

Hi,

Regarding your edits to the Kevin Andrews (Australian politician) article, please note that removing valid references and re-adding unsourced adjectives, etc. is generally considered vandalism, especially when this is currently being discussed on the talk page.

Hello again,

Your recent edit summaries suggest that you are in some way affiliated with LDI. If that is the case, please read WP:COI, the Wikipedia guidelines on conflicts of interest; in particular the WP:COI section. In general, it is preferred if you discuss (on the article's talk page) changes you would like to see, rather than simply editing the article yourself.
