Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that you made a change to an article, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Materialscientist (talk) 07:08, 28 January 2013 (UTC)


 * I reverted your 5 edits to PaintCare because they destroyed Manual of Style formatting, removed categories without explanation, add unsourced material, and removed (without explanation) sorely needed citations.
 * Since you seem to be new to Wikipedia, I have included links to the most important policies and guidelines above. Please take 15+ minutes to read them to understand why your edits are being reverted.  While anyone can edit Wikipedia, there are rules to follow.  Thanks for contributing!  —EncMstr (talk) 16:26, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

If your LinkedIn profile is correct, you are "State Programs Director at PaintCare" and that constitutes conflict of interest. Here is the standard COI advisory:

Hello, Paulfresina. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you.—EncMstr (talk) 16:29, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
