Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates or other materials from Wikipedia, as you did at Krinos Foods, you may be blocked from editing. Thank you.

Hi Stef250489: if you have objections to the article on Krinos Foods, please explain on the talkpage rather than removing chunks of it, including references. It looks like vandalism. Yngvadottir (talk) 19:09, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I was actually updating the information since it is not completely accurate or a fair portrait of the company. Who are you and why did you block my edits? Why are you threatening to block me from editing? Also, the information that I had added, if you had actually sat and read it before removing it, was completely accurate and added more information about the company and its growth. I do not thing it vandalism to remove those parts. I was simply updating inaccurate information.
 * You were removing referenced information; and the entire references section. Please use the preview button; wiki-markup is not very intuitive and you may not have realized you were breaking things. I do see now that you added some information about other acquisitions by the company. But you need references for this, and you can't use a pre-existing reference for something it doesn't include, as you did when you added EK Imports to the sentence about the acquisition of Hellas. Removing existing referenced material is not updating; it's reduction of information. Yngvadottir (talk) 19:27, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

The information I added was from a first hand source in the company. Also, the reductions were an attempt to remove the information you included in the last paragraph, focusing on some problems the company might have had in the past. I do not think it is very fair and accurate on your part to write something about a company where 80% of the information you included focuses on any sort of "scandal" they might have faced. It is not an accurate portrait of their work and it is insulting and demeaning to people that have worked so hard to make that company what it is. It resembles a tabloid article more than a source of information. As far as the sources go, that was a mistake on my part. I did not notice i did that and I apologize. However, as far as the other corrections that I made to the article are concerned, I will sand by them and find a way to change them if you do not reconsider what you have written. Please look at your article again and reconsider the information. Does it seem to be an unbiased portrait to you?
 * A source from the company's own website or press releases is acceptable for information such as mergers and where they currently have manufacturing and processing plants, but so far as possible, everything in an article should be sourced (verifiability policy). The problem with the balance in the article is that it reflects the press coverage I was able to find. I have searched again for new information and don't see any. If you can find more than I can, please feel free to add it. (Also if you have accurate information on how the father and son spell(ed) their names; I suspect reporters have mashed that family name.) But articles need to reflect what reliable sources say; blanking information because you consider it negative is not appropriate and is not updating, and articles cannot be based only on inside sources; they should reflect what reliable third-party sources say about the topic.

I've referred to Wikipedia policy but there's no reason you would know much about it, so I hope the links in the above template will be helpful to you. You may have noted that while I was doing something else, another editor came along and reverted someone else's removal of information on the same article. This illustrates that it isn't "my" article; it's the collaborative nature of Wikipedia that many people are watching what happens and jump in either to revert or to help. In my case, the article is on my watchlist because I expanded it. In the other editor's case, I don't know, maybe they saw an automated tag indicating removal of content. I do hope you can find more information in the press or other reliable sources to add, and that you'll stick around and edit other articles. Yngvadottir (talk) 20:11, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
