Hello, I'm Herostratus. I wanted to let you know that some of your recent contributions to Upper Crust Pizzeria have been reverted or removed because they could be seen to be defamatory or libellous. Take a look at our welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. ''Welcome, but for God's sake we can't libel people here. At the very least you'd need to include excellent references proving that what you say is true and you didn't do that. Slow down and get your feet wet plz before jumping in with stuff like this!''

Thank you for reaching out to me. I am working on the appropriate references for the material that I had added. Once I get them, could you help me revert back to my changes with the included references? There was no intent to libel, however there are currently libelous statements in this listing if you compare the references to the statements. I was hoping to correct these statements as well as include updated information. Thank you.
 * No, I can't help you, and in fact will prevent you.


 * The people you mention, such as the attorney, are private individuals. Defamatory material about private individuals is off the table, regardless of whether its true or referenced.


 * Please read WP:BLP regarding Biographies of Living Persons, and take to heart the spirit of the rule, which is that we are not here to cause grief to any person unless it's absolutely necessary to our encyclopedic mission.


 * The article is about the restaurant chain, not any individual person. And it's fairly obscure chain at that. Now, when describing a restaurant chain, we are interested in more than what's on their menu, we're interested in them as a social actor. And in describing that there are certain things regarding Mr Tobins and perhaps some of the other principals that might not come across so great. And there's no getting around that. But we want to minimize depracatory material about individuals. Stick to the company, mostly. Herostratus (talk) 02:58, 9 December 2014 (UTC)
