Welcome
Welcome!

Hello, Nathan316, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, your contributions to Michael Pearl did not conform to Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View policy (NPOV) or the policy on citing references in BLP articles and have been removed. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media.

There's a page about the NPOV policy that has tips on how to effectively write about disparate points of view without compromising the NPOV status of the article as a whole. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type   on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!

Please do not add or change content without verifying it by citing reliable sources, as you did to Michael Pearl. Please review the guidelines at Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. ( talk→  LesHB   ←track ) 17:24, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Michael Pearl. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. ( talk→  LesHB   ←track ) 17:25, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy by adding commentary and your personal analysis into articles, as you did at Michael Pearl, you may be blocked from editing. ( talk→  LesHB   ←track ) 17:33, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

Please do not add unsourced content, as you did to Michael Pearl. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. ( talk→  LesHB   ←track ) 17:34, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Michael Pearl shows that you are in danger of breaking the three-revert rule, or that you may have already broken it. An editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Breaking the three-revert rule often leads to a block.

If you wish to avoid being blocked, instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to discuss the changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. You may still be blocked for edit warring even if you do not exceed the technical limit of the three-revert rule if your behavior indicates that you intend to continue to revert repeatedly.

Please respond here
The changes and additions you have made to the Michael Pearl article have been reverted due to WP:BLP concerns and WP:NPOV concerns. Please read the forenoted article links for a better understanding of Wikipedia policies in these areas. Further, looking through the photos you have uploaded to the Wikimedia Commons, I note you have indicated those photos come directly from Pearl's non-profit organization, "No Greater Joy Ministries". Based on the above, I am concerned you have a conflict of interest in editing the Pearl article through an afilliation with No Greater Joy. If this is the case, you also need to be aware of Wikipedia's policies regarding conflict of interest and its incompatibility with the aim of Wikipedia, "...which is to produce a neutral, reliably sourced encyclopedia." The policy further states that COI editing is prohibited when it "...involves contributing to Wikipedia in order to promote your own interests or those of other individuals, companies, or groups."

While I am not asking you to disclose any personal identifying information, it would be in the best interest of Wikipedia for you to disclose here what your afilliation with No Greater Joy Ministries and Michael Pearl actually is. Thank you, ( talk→  LesHB   ←track ) 18:57, 22 December 2011 (UTC)
