Hello, I'm DatGoodDude342. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Gary R. Stevenson, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at the tutorial on citing sources. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. DatGoodDude342 18:29, 15 January 2021 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Belwine. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Gary R. Stevenson have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective.

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, 69.125.170.241. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Gary R. Stevenson, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

• avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
• disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
• avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
• do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. --Worldbruce (talk) 01:54, 21 February 2021 (UTC)

IP editor, you nor your employer get to decide what is in a Wikipedia article and what isn't. Content should be verified by secondary sources, it should be neutral, it should have encyclopedic relevance. What you inserted, with phrases like "Stevenson has earned a reputation for pioneering innovations through a unique understanding of blah blah blah", is terribly written PR drivel, which will always be removed. Please take this up with your PR person who, I hope, will have taken some classes in writing while in college, preferably in a variety of genres. Thank you.

Do not edit war

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Gary R. Johnson; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. --Worldbruce (talk) 01:58, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
