I have reverted your edits to this article, as the material added was overly promotional in tone. Please be aware that Wikipedia is not an advertising medium, and not the place to promote anything. Also, if you have connection to the subject or his enterprises, you should read WP:COI which lays out our policies on editing with a conflict of interest. Wikipedia is dedicated to maintaining a neutral point of view, and to that end requires that editors with a conflict of interest take measure to prevent their POV from skewing the article. Material added to Wikipedia must also be supported by a citation from a reliable source such as a newspaper, magazine, published book, or authoritative website so that it can be verified. Material from self-published sources, such as blogs, is not allowed. Please be certain to follow these rules in your tuture editing. Beyond My Ken (talk) 01:28, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Please do not engage in WP:edit warring. If you have a problem with another editor's contributions, the thing to do is to discuss them on talk pages, not to continue to revert them. Beyond My Ken (talk) 01:31, 23 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Much like you did at Royal Commonwealth Pool, eh Ken? Breathtaking hypocrisy. --89.211.99.73 (talk) 08:14, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
 * @Patricknyc - The IP editor is correct, I edit-warred over a trivial change in that article, and I was blocked for it, as was the IP (although he was using a different IP address at the time). Edit-warring, no matter who does it, is disruptive, which is why many admins see it as a "bright-line" offense, and accept only a very small number of justifications for doing it without consequences.  I still have the block notice on my talk page, and I intend to keep it there as a reminder to myself. Beyond My Ken (talk) 09:09, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Also, take a look at our policies on copyright violations. The material you've been attempting to add to the article reads as it is was a straight lift from a press kit -- if so, that is not allowed.  You may use facts from reliable sources, but you must express them in your own words. Beyond My Ken (talk) 01:44, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
