 * I noticed your edits to New West End Synagogue. I understand the motivation at this moment, but scrubbing the article off of Wikipedia won't do what you think it will. Best-case scenario is that it will do absolutely nothing as to reducing the visibility of the synagogue. Worst-case scenario is that it will fall under the Streisand effect and it will increase the visibility. It would be best to leave things as they are. Maxim (talk) 14:31, 17 October 2023 (UTC)

Hello. I wanted to let you know that in your recent contributions to New West End Synagogue, you seemed to act as if you were the owner of the page. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to Wikipedia. This means that editors do not own articles, including ones they create, and should respect the work of their fellow contributors. If you create or edit an article, remember that others are free to change its content. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Note that because Wikipedia is a tertiary source that relies mostly on secondary sources, the information you are removing is publicly available even if removed from Wikipedia.

 * Many thanks.
 * I am the synagogue administrator, though, and for security reasons, we really cannot afford to have a public profile at the moment. Hopefully, this will be temporary. Can you please allow the edits I made? TheRealBeadle (talk) 15:27, 17 October 2023 (UTC)
 * As it is, I don't think that is within Wikipedia policy. That being said, you can go to the teahouse for advice or place the template (minus the nowiki tags) on your profile to get advice from an administrator. Because you have removed the information from the page a couple times, I strongly recommend to do discuss matters before pursuing editing further, because a single user repeatedly reverting edits does go against policy. Since you are editing a topic that you have a close connection with, you should be familiar with the conflict of interest guideline as well. I will also echo what was said above, that attempting to remove information can attract more attention to it. Even when taken off the Wikipedia page, the information is still publicly available in the article's history and in the sources it cites. TornadoLGS (talk) 15:37, 17 October 2023 (UTC)
 * I would also suggest that you read our article on the Streisand effect. DS (talk) 16:42, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
