  Hello, I'm Randompointofview. I noticed that you recently removed content from Mariannette Miller-Meeks without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

  Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Mariannette Miller-Meeks, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. Thank you. --GalaxyDogtalk 20:22, 19 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia without adequate explanation, as you did at Mariannette Miller-Meeks, you may be blocked from editing. --GalaxyDogtalk 20:30, 19 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

Your edits are very unhelpful. Your edit summary, "this information...was not constructive to the page" is partly correct, except that "to the page" should probably be substituted by "to the subject". In other words, I believe you are a COI editor, and you should probably stay away from editing that article. Just blindly reverting what has been undone by other editors is also a good way to get blocked indefinitely. See the template below. Drmies (talk) 20:36, 19 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

Welcome!

Hello, OrganicAgSuzJToryB, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Again, welcome!

Randompointofview, User:GalaxyDog, I need you all to look very carefully at the passage removed by this editor, and consider that it is a violation of the WP:BLP. I know that the editor's edit summaries and behavior weren't very helpful, but in cases of living people you simply have to look at the actual edit. You're always supposed to look at every edit you revert anyway. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 20:38, 19 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

My mistake. After looking closer I realized that that section referenced an apparent biased source and therefore I shouldn't have reverted your edit, OrganicAgSuzJToryB. Thanks, Drmies. Sorry again! --GalaxyDogtalk 20:45, 19 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
Thanks. OrganicAgSuzJToryB, I hope you realize how important it is to provide a proper explanation in your edit summaries. Drmies (talk) 20:48, 19 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
