  Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Jan David Winitz may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry, just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

Jan David Winitz edit

  Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Jan David Winitz. While objective prose about beliefs, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you. --Ronz (talk) 17:46, 17 May 2013 (UTC) ([User talk: Gary Tobin|talk]]The changes that I submitted were updated, verifiable references from third parties,which were footnoted. The bio is similar in style to many others on Wikipedia where the subject is a recognized leader/authority. It is no more or less promotional than other bios.Gptobin (talk) 05:32, 21 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
