Your edits to the Brian Ritchie article
Please see Conflict of interest. A Wikipedia conflict of interest (COI) is an incompatibility between the aim of Wikipedia, which is to produce a neutral, reliably sourced encyclopedia, and the aims of an individual editor.

COI editing involves contributing to Wikipedia in order to promote your own interests or those of other individuals, companies, or groups. Where an editor must forgo advancing the aims of Wikipedia in order to advance outside interests, that editor stands in a conflict of interest. Aside from potential conflict of interest, the information you posted needs to be referenced to an outside source. As much as I'd love to have your write everything you know about Mr. Ritchie and add it to the article, that's against the rules. Everything must be verifiable.

So I'm reverting the changes you made to the article. I don't want the info lost, though, so I'm moving the text to the talk page. If another editor can verify it using reliable sources, they can add it back. -Freekee (talk) 02:25, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
