An important message

This notice has been left for you because another Wikipedia user suspects that, perhaps inadvertently, you may have defamed someone in your contributions. Please recheck your edits. Do not make allegations against someone unless you have provided evidence from a reliable publication, and then make sure you describe the allegations in accordance with our content policies, particularly Wikipedia:Verifiability and Wikipedia:No original research. Don't rely on hearsay, rumours, or things you believe without evidence to be facts, and don't use sources to create a novel narrative. Wikipedia requires reliable sources for all claims. Please see our policy on biographies of living persons.

If you may have inadvertently defamed someone in an article, do two things:

  1. If the material is still there, remove it immediately. You may wish to use an edit summary like "Removing possible defamation" to prevent it from being reverted.
  2. Leave a note on the administrator's noticeboard saying that you have accidentally included defamatory claims in a named article or articles. Do not repeat the claim(s). The revision(s) containing the material can then be deleted from the page history.

Please do not add defamatory content to Wikipedia, as you did to Mike Kaplowitz. If you would like to experiment please use the sandbox. In your edit you stated that "An article published in the Washington Post in June 2007 revealed that Ball may have illegally funneled thousands of dollars from the charity to his campaign coffers". Your statement is potentially libelous and is not verified by the source you provided, which states that there was nothing improper. Mrprada911 (talk) 18:34, 17 February 2008 (UTC)Reply
