edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia. At least one of your recent edits, such as the edit you made to Brenda Dickson, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at the welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make some test edits, please use the sandbox for that. Thank you. §FreeRangeFrogcroak 01:49, 23 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, Llinkster. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Brenda Dickson, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

  • Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
  • Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
  • Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
  • Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. Dougweller (talk) 07:25, 23 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

 
You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for making legal threats or taking legal action. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

You are not allowed to edit Wikipedia while the threats stand or the legal action is unresolved.  Dougweller (talk) 07:26, 23 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

In other words, all you have to do to be unblocked is to say that you have no intention of pursuing legal action or suggesting that others do so. Simple. Dougweller (talk) 07:28, 23 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

I have no intention of pursuing legal action or suggesting that others do so.

Per Dougweller's comment and your response, I have unblocked you. Nyttend (talk) 04:27, 24 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
