Please do not add commentary, your own point of view, or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Wendy Wintersteen. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. Bbb23 (talk) 18:46, 26 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Can you give examples of what was considered my own point of view or my own personal analysis? Mlandolt25ISU (talk) 18:47, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Is it because I used Iowa State University news service articles as references? I don't understand why my edits weren't accepted? Mlandolt25ISU (talk) 18:55, 26 July 2022 (UTC)

 * I don't know what your affiliation is with Wintersteen or the university ("ISU" is part of your username), but, as the notice below says, you must declare that affiliation and you may not edit the article directly. I've reverted your edits once more. If you persist in editing the article, you risk being blocked.--Bbb23 (talk) 21:44, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I do have an affiliation with Wendy Wintersteen. I am her strategic communications advisor. I provide these edits in good faith. Please see the latest version of my edits. I removed the paragraph that I assumed you felt was "personal analysis" but the other edits were strictly for accuracy and thoroughness. Mlandolt25ISU (talk) 19:02, 27 July 2022 (UTC)
