Hello, I'm Muboshgu. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Virginia gubernatorial election, 2017 have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think a mistake was made, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:04, 14 June 2017 (UTC)

WP:NOTNEWS, Edit warring, conflict of interest, and discretionary sanctions
Several notes! Jytdog (talk) 14:41, 15 June 2017 (UTC)

NOTNEWS

 * Wikipedia is not a newspaper (see WP:NOTNEWS and we do not record events in real time that need to be updated or changed as time passes.  We are an encyclopedia and provide enduring, accepted knowledge.


 * If you have a disagreement about content, please raise it at the Talk page and do not continue to try to force a change into Wikipedia by making several reverts.

Your recent editing history at Ed Gillespie shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

COI

 * If you have connection to Virginia politics (e.g. a role in any campaign) please disclose that, per the WP:PAID policy and the COI guideline.

Hello, The0range0wl. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:


 * avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
 * instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the request edit template);
 * when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. Jytdog (talk) 14:41, 15 June 2017 (UTC)

DS

 * Finally, please be aware that there are "discretionary sanctions" on recent US politics in Wikipedia. Please see the notice below.
