Hello, I'm 331dot. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Michael Thibodeau, but you didn’t support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. If you work for Senator Thibodeau, you should also review the conflict of interest policy before proceeding. 331dot (talk) 21:03, 1 July 2015 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at Michael Thibodeau, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. 331dot (talk) 22:05, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

I will again suggest you review the conflict of interest policy; if you work for Senator Thibodeau there are certain policies and procedures that you need to be aware of. I would add that you cannot cite yourself as a source; please review this page for information on what a reliable source is. I have no problem with the information itself(though your recent addition seemed more a promotional piece and should be worded differently) and it seems necessary, but it must have appropriate citations. If you have an official State government biography of Senator Thibodeau, that might work, but you cannot simply copy it to here. If you have further questions, please post them here. 331dot (talk) 22:08, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Michael Thibodeau. Linking to his website is not a reliable source, and if it hasn't been covered in reliable sources, then the content is not appropriate for Wikipedia. Joseph2302 (talk) 17:41, 13 July 2015 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors according to your reverts at Michael Thibodeau. Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose editing privileges. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a loss of editing privileges. Thank you.

Paid editing, COI and Politics

Please note that if you are being paid to edit as part of your job, e.g. as a communications director, then you need to declare your status as a paid editor, e.g. on your user page, and on the talk page of all articles you edit as a paid editor.

If you have a conflict of interest involving politics WP:COI gives the following guidance (IMHO you should follow it strictly).

"Campaigning, political

Activities regarded by insiders as simply "getting the word out" may appear promotional or propagandistic to the outside world. If you edit articles while involved with campaigns that engage in advocacy in the same area, you may have a conflict of interest. Similarly, editors should not edit articles in which they have a political conflict of interest. Examples:

• Government employees should not edit articles about their agencies, government, political party, political opponents, opposition groups, or controversial political topics, with the intent to slant or spin an article in a manner that is politically advantageous to their employer.

• Political candidates or their staff should not edit articles about themselves, their supporters or opponents.

• Reliably sourced, notable material written in a neutral point of view should not be deleted from articles with the intent of protecting the political interests of a party, agency or government."

Please be aware. Smallbones_(smalltalk) 02:01, 16 July 2015 (UTC)
