Dear Mr. Price,

I am assuming from your edits that you are the James Price written about here and the maintainer of this blog. Because of those suspicions, I have had to place Spokane Civic Theatre under full edit-protection for two weeks, meaning only administrators can edit it during that time.

Your edits violated our policies on conflict of interest and reliable sources. I would commend both of them to your attention, as well as what external links are not allowed. We strongly discourage from writing about themselves or events in which they have been involved, particularly when they are as controversial as they seem to be here. We do not consider blogs (most of the time) to be reliable sources for our articles, contrary to the unsigned assertion you made here. And we generally don't put those blogs (save for official blogs of a notable institution or person) in xlink lists.

Above all, Wikipedia is not a means for you to advance your agenda. Clearly you have a cause. It may well be significant enough to be included in the article on the theater. However, it will have to be written by someone not involved—not you, not your wife and not your former employer (who I will be talking to as well, since they created these problems too). I would be happy to draft a section that complies with our guidelines and policies and run it by both of you.

Dear Mr. Case,

I, for one, would welcome your draft of such a section. I apologize for my amateur mistakes with regard to the editing of this page. I am new to editing Wikipedia but have long valued it as a resource. In this case, I felt that the relatively provincial matters concerned were unlikely to be written about by anyone else, despite being significant enough to be included on this page.

I can see how the citation of my blog with regard to the State of Washington's decision is unreliable. I don't know if this will be any more helpful, but I have created a page with the documents to verify this information. You can find that page here: http://thetyrannyofyvonne.blogspot.com/p/state-of-washington-unemployment.html

Thank you for your guidance in this matter. I will refrain from future editing of this page.
