March 2017

Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to Shaun Lawton ‎, but we cannot accept original research. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. — O Fortuna! ^{Imperatrix mundi.} 16:44, 8 March 2017 (UTC)

Shaun Lawton

Hi. It seems that you are the subject of the Wikipedia article Shaun Lawton, and until today you've been its chief author. Unfortunately, people sometimes mistake a Wikipedia article about themselves for their article. But that's not true at all - indeed Wikipedia strongly discourages people from doing this - see Wikipedia:Autobiography. This is a serious problem for us, because it poses a significant issue about conflict of interest, between the bests interests of the author (you) and the encyclopedia (everyone else) - see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. Frankly, the article has been up until today, entirely unsuitable to be a Wikipedia article - it's just slipped under the radar until now. Content that would be appropriate for your own site, or your own blog, isn't content that's suitable for a neutral, sourced, verifiable encyclopedia. Today, an experienced Wikipedian as rewritten the Shaun Lawton article to conform to Wikipedia's standards. My very strong advice to you is to work constructively with the Wikipedia community by engaging on the talk:Shaun Lawton, particularly in helping find additional reliable sources. I do not think it is at all prudent for you to edit the article, as the content you've added up until now as been very far from being neutral or reliably sourced. Remember that, just because the article is about you, or that you wrote a lot of the previous content of the article, this does not give you special powers or authority over it - see WP:OWN. I see that you've already removed the new content and restored you old material in this edit. Please don't do that. You should discuss the article on the talk page, that I've linked above, and you should review all of the policy pages that I've linked to in this message. -- Finlay McWalter··–·Talk 16:55, 8 March 2017 (UTC)
