Hello, I'm JPxG. I noticed that in this edit to Clayton Mitchell (New Zealand politician), you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. 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. jp×g 00:50, 14 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Hello JPxG,
 * yes thank you for messaging me, the content removed from Clayton Mitchell Wiki page was done so due to the impact and effect it has on a former Member of Parliament. I think it is well known and expected that sitting politicians will have unfavourable and out of context media about them due to their position and public scrutiny/interest. However once a Member of Parliament leaves their role, they need to be able to return to a life of normality and unfair biased media written as a political beat up at the time should not prevent someone from being able to get on with their life and apply for jobs to support their family.


 * I would be happy to discuss this further and have today modified his page slightly to better reflect actual events and apply some context. I would however like to remove some of the information you have put up as it is an unfair characterisation of him and goes towards character assassination post his time in politics.
 * Thank you

 * Hi, you have a valid point that incorrect information in biographies of living person can be harmful to that person, and as such Wikipedia has an extensive policy on handling this, which can be read at Biographies of living persons. One key rule is that all material should be verified by reliable sources. However, all the material that you deleted has sources.
 * If you feel that statements made in the sources are factually incorrect, please provide other sources which provide more accurate information (and ideally explain why the new source is accurate and the old is not). If you consider the sources in the article to be unreliable, please explain why you think that.
 * Regarding context, I see that your last edit added further details such as what age the drink driving occurred and that he has a black belt in judo. Information like this is great to add, if it is sourced. As per the policy though, unsourced material must be removed from a biography of a living person. For example, without a source we only have your statement that the drink driving conviction was when Mitchel was 20, and as you appear as an anonymous internet user that's unfortunately not reliable enough.
 * In summary, please make sure that you provide sources for any information you add to the article, and if you want to challenge information from a source, please provide another source or an explanation as to why you think the source is unreliable.
