Blanking content

Could you please explain why you are blanking sourced content from the John Shoop article? Also, could you also explain your relation to the account User:Mountshoop? Using multiple accounts is generally disallowed, please see this page which explains why. Note that the article talk page is the correct venue to suggest changes to the article or contest content - please do so there. It may also be helpful to read Wikipedia's guidelines regarding editing with a conflict of interest. Thank you, --Jezebel'sPonyo^{bons mots} 18:46, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

I am new to Wikipedia editing and was trying to correct some mistakes to this biography. I wanted to change my user name and couldn't figure out how to do it then it wouldn't let me log back into Mountshoop so I just created another account. How do I start over and get just one account under MWMS537? Also, can I make additions and changes to the John Shoop biography? The material that was there was biased and incomplete. Thank you for your help. I also can't figure out how I am supposed to contact anyone about questions. MWMS537MWMS537 (talk) 19:10, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

I have added a number of links at the top of this page that will help you with editing at Wikipedia. I will also make a note on your previous account that you are now editing under this name in order to avoid any confusion - please ensure you only edit under this account name now. Regarding the edits to the John Shoop article, it is of utmost importance that when you add or change information in articles, especially biography articles, that you included reliable sources so that other editors can verify the content. Any "insider" knowledge or unpublished information you may know cannot be added to the article as it is considered original research. If you run in to any difficulties editing, there is a WP:HELPDESK available where you can ask questions. Happy editing! Jezebel'sPonyo^{bons mots} 19:20, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
