User talk:Uclaskindoc

Hello, Uclaskindoc, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your edits to the page Arnold Klein‎ have not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and may be removed if they have not yet been. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media. Always remember to provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles. As well, all new biographies of living people must contain at least one reliable source.

If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the guide for citing sources or come to the new contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type   on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Hello Uclaskindoc. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Arnold Klein, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about following the reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. Best regards,  Cind.   amuse  (Cindy) 04:53, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

I have gone ahead and removed the unsourced and unexplained edits to the above referenced article. These edits presented a lack of neutrality and introduced a personal point of view. The policy pertaining to biographies of living persons advises editors to maintain strict compliance with neutral point of view (NPOV),  verifiability (V), and no original research (NOR). Editors are instructed to remove content failing to meet this criteria. Users who persistently or egregiously violate this policy may be blocked from editing. If you have questions, please feel free to contact me. Best regards,  Cind.   amuse  (Cindy) 05:18, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
