Unhelpful, biased, POV edit

Your recent edit to the Van Morrison article was uncalled for. Hopefully you will consider your actions a little more carefully next time you make an edit or they could be labeled as vandalism. Agadant (talk) 20:36, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

POV content additions on Michael Smith (writer)

Please be aware the content you added (and then re-added after I removed it) is unacceptable, highly POV and promotional. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, not a website to promote somebody. I should point you in the direction of WP:NPOV, WP:AUTO and WP:BLP. To be honest I thought I was airing on the side of caution with the content that I removed, but if you insist on reinstating it again then it might just be worth me stripping the article right down until it complies with WP:BLP, because at the moment nothing is sourced (readings, performances, artwork etc. are all just stated without sources). Continual adding of content that is biased and POV is, as was pointed out to you above, likely to end up being identified as vandalism - and in that case will be dealt with accordingly.
