Hello, I'm Guðsþegn. I wanted to let you know that I undid one of your recent contributions to Island Timberlands because it didn't appear constructive. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Guðsþegn (talk) 00:55, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

AN/I Discussion
Hello. There is currently a discussion at Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Singlemaltscotch (talk) 21:51, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

You did more than remove the content you listed, you also removed content that was not connected to the SFI certification. The other material was reliably sourced, but not complimentary toward IT. This has all the appearance of a conflict of interest edit. If you are in any way connected with IT, you should not be editing the page. If there are errors, point them out on the talk page so that other editors can evaluate them prior to their adding or removing the material. GregJackP  Boomer!   20:50, 21 September 2012 (UTC)

Thank you GregJackP, in fact I realized my error in removing some of the content not connected to SFI and you will notice that my latest edit was removing only the content related purely to SFI. It is unclear the reason that blocking my access is the necessary penalty for removing, what you agree, is unrelated content. Nor is it clear the motive of certain other users' insistance on replacing this information that we both agree is unrelated. It is misleading to a reader as it implies that Island Timberlands is responsible for landslides in Washington, which it is not. I do request that my access be unblocked and that the conent noted in my post above be removed with no further issues. TracySteele00 (talk) 21:04, 21 September 2012 (UTC)


 * I'm afraid that you misunderstand me, and I apologize that I was not clearer in my earlier message. My comment that the content was unrelated referred to the SFI content, not that it was unrelated to the article.  I take no position on that, other than to note that if you are removing material that has been reliably sourced, you need to be very clear on why it should not be in the article and post that reason on the talk page.  Otherwise it can be considered disruptive editing.


 * I'm not an admin, so I cannot unblock you, but you will probably have to answer some questions from them before they will agree to an unblock. I would recommend that you explain any connection that you may have with the company, as I am sure the admin will want to know about conflict of interest.
