Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Wooster Lake. 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. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, please:

• avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your circle, your organization, its competitors, projects or products;
• instead propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
• when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
• avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or 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 for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. I've removed the excessive content that you've added about the dispute. If you can find one or two reliable sources that discuss the issue in neutral terms, they would be welcome as references.  —SMALLJIM  16:13, 6 March 2016 (UTC)

Wooster Lake

Hello, Wooster Lake. Our binding policy on neutral point of view includes a section on balancing aspects that basically tells us that an article should not be overwhelmed by detail about one aspect of the topic. This is a sensible requirement in a general encyclopedia such as Wikipedia: our readers should be presented with a well-rounded overview of the topic as a whole. Your additions to Wooster Lake contravene this policy and I have removed them again. Please stop adding this excessive amount of detail.

It's clear from your editing that you are really only interested in this one aspect. We have guidance on editors who only edit in one narrow topic – if you want to help Wikipedia, please do some work on other topics that you are interested in, or provide more general information about Wooster Lake and its surroundings. You can let me know here if you think I'm not interpreting our rules appropriately or if I can help further.  —SMALLJIM  10:36, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
