Hello, I'm Winner 42. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Doug O'Neill with this edit, without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Winner 42 Talk to me! 20:48, 20 May 2015 (UTC)
Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Doug O'Neill with this edit, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you.

Managing a conflict of interest
edit
Hello, V8sonny. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you have an external relationship with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Doug O'Neill, 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 ensuring their edits are verified by 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.
- Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia: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. Note that Wikipedia's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.
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. Winner 42 Talk to me! 21:07, 20 May 2015 (UTC)

- @John: I don't mean to tell other admins how to do their job, but I'm not sure this block was necessary. This user complained about a BLP violation in his article, and I think we both know how keen you are to ensure BLPs are correct and cited to high quality sources. @Montanabw: has since fixed the article up to be more BLP compliant, so I don't think the offhand remark of "going to counsel" makes sense anymore. Would you consider unblocking? Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 10:38, 22 May 2015 (UTC)
