Hello, I'm Dewritech. I noticed that you recently removed some content from John Sculley without 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; I have restored the removed content. 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 information from articles, as you did to John Sculley. Wikipedia is not censored, and content is not removed on the sole grounds of perceived offensiveness. Please discuss this issue on the article's talk page to reach consensus rather than continuing to remove the disputed material. If the content in question involves images, you also have the option to configure Wikipedia to hide the images that you may find offensive. Thank you.

John Sculley

Hi Diane, please do not keep simply deleting information from this article. As noted above, wikipedia is not censored, so you need to explain why you think the information should not be included, particularly given that it is sourced to references which is what wikipedia works on the basis of. Also, given that you have declared in this edit summary that you are married to the person, you have a clear conflict of interest which means you are asked not to edit the article directly but to make a request on its talk page instead. Thank you, Melcous (talk) 07:06, 7 March 2017 (UTC)

This information comes from John Sculley and the information shown previously is incorrectly written therefore deleted. If necessary we will delete the entire wikipedia account as this is the corrected version so I suggest you leave as is. Thank you

Hi Diane, sorry but that is not how wikipedia works. All content must be sourced to reliable, third party sources, so simply saying the information comes from the person is not good enough. Nor does you/he "own" the wikipedia article so it will not be deleted simply because you don't like it. As I said above, you need to clearly explain which specific content is incorrect and why it is incorrect, and if possible provide sources that verify this, and you should do this on the talk page because of your conflict of interest. Please take the time to read some of the guidelines I have linked to, as continuing to delete sourced content without any other explanation than "it is in correct" is not constructive and could eventually lead to you being blocked from editing. Thanks, Melcous (talk) 21:21, 7 March 2017 (UTC)

Hi Diane. In addition to the information that Melcous posted above, I suggest you also take a look at Wikipedia:Plain and simple conflict of interest guide, Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#Law of unintended consequences and Wikipedia:An article about yourself isn't necessarily a good thing. As Melcous has pointed out, article content is not owned by the subjects being written about so neither you nor your husband have any final editorial control over what is added/removed. If you have concerns about the article, you should try to address them in accordance with relevant Wikipedia policies and guidelines. Continuing on as you have been doing is not going to help resolve things and will only eventually lead to your account being blocked for disruptive editing. Your best chance for resolving this is to follow the steps laid out in Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons#Relationship between the subject, the article, and Wikipedia so that the Wikipedia community can properly address your concerns. -- Marchjuly (talk) 01:12, 13 March 2017 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Donner60. I noticed that in this edit to John Sculley, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Donner60 (talk) 04:02, 12 March 2017 (UTC)

Diane, please stop reverting the changes made to the article. The information is according to the sources cited. If you can explain why you think it is inaccurate or provide sources that say otherwise, please do. But simply removing content because you don't like it or think it paints your husband in a bad light (I don't think it does, I have tried to make it as a neutral as possible) is not going to work here. The article is not owned by you or your husband, it is an encyclopaedia, and it relies on publicly available, published, independent sources. Melcous (talk) 04:41, 12 March 2017 (UTC)

Notice of Conflict of interest noticeboard discussion

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard regarding a possible conflict of interest incident with which you may be involved. Thank you. Melcous (talk) 00:35, 13 March 2017 (UTC)

Please stop assuming ownership of articles. Behavior such as this is regarded as disruptive, and is a violation of Wikipedia policy. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. NeilN ^{talk to me} 01:12, 13 March 2017 (UTC)

Please read carefully

Wikipedia is an independent encyclopedia. As such, no one owns or controls content of articles. Volunteer editors work together to create articles about subjects. In this case, they have decided that details about Mr. Sculley's previous marriage and divorce belong in the article (not surprising as this is a biography). You can point out errors of fact using Talk:John Sculley but if you simply remove material you don't like then you will very likely be blocked from editing. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 01:24, 13 March 2017 (UTC)
