Jack McCauley

I've posted a request to the noticeboard for biographies of living people here asking for assistance from BLP-savvy editors about the edits I made yesterday, some of which you reverted today. I've also started a thread on the article's talk page, here. Please join the conversation. Thanks. David in DC (talk) 19:26, 25 April 2017 (UTC)

As you've seen, your edits to the page were reverted, per WP:NOTPROMO, by User:Duffbeerforme. You then re-inserted them. That's not the proper response. Please review WP:BRD. Then please join the thread I started on the McCauley talk page. I've undone your reinsertion. Please do not add it again without first achieving consensus on the talk page.

COI

Hello, MintonBrice. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:

• avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
• instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
• when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
• avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
• exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must 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 WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. duffbeerforme (talk) 04:27, 4 May 2017 (UTC)
