Hello, I'm SchreyP. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions to Jacques Parizeau because it appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

Hello, Robinphilpot. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Robin Philpot, 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:


 * You need not declare your conflict of interest, but we recommend it.
 * Do not edit articles about yourself, your organization, or your competitors. Do not edit related articles. (Exceptions.)
 * Post suggestions and sources on the article's talk page, or create a draft in your user space.
 * Your role is to summarize, inform and reference &mdash; not to promote, sell, or whitewash.
 * If writing a draft, write without bias, as if you don't work for the company or personally know the subject.
 * Have us review your draft.
 * Work with us and we'll work with you.

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. SchreyP (messages) 22:20, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add soapboxing, promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. Please discuss on the talk page of articles whether a particular book is significant enough to appear in the Further Reading or Bibliography sections, and seek consensus there; rather than just adding the same book to large numbers of articles without any indication of why it is significant on each topic. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 20:18, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

This is your last warning. The next time you disrupt Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. ''Please stop spamming the same book across multiple Wikipedia articles. Thank you.'' — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 20:39, 30 August 2013 (UTC)
