Information icon Hello, I'm 99.149.85.229. I noticed that you recently removed some content without 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: I restored the removed content. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! 99.149.85.229 (talk) 21:41, 23 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

Information icon Hello, Porter kendra. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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. 99.149.85.229 (talk) 21:41, 23 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you. 99.149.85.229 (talk) 16:13, 24 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. Thank you. 99.149.85.229 (talk) 19:17, 24 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

I've restored sourced content you deleted for the third time, and removed a listing you copied directly from the company's website, in apparent violation of copyright and promotional guidelines. According to its talk page, the article has a history of attempted appropriation by accounts associated with the company. While your good faith efforts to update information are welcome, you're strongly advised to read Wikipedia's guidelines, and edit with the understanding that articles here are encyclopedic in format and content, and are not venues for the subjects to control information. Thank you, 99.149.85.229 (talk) 19:17, 24 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

  This is your last warning. The next time you remove or blank page content or templates from Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. 99.149.85.229 (talk) 19:19, 24 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

I am asking that your account be blocked for edit warring, promotional intent, and deletion of sourced content. I'll also request administrative assistance with the article; it's clear that you have one intent here, and it's in the interest of your company. 99.149.85.229 (talk) 19:25, 24 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

You have already had many warnings on this page about your editing this article, given your obvious WP:COI. I have protected the article so that neither you nor any other non-auto-confirmed user can edit it. I have also restored the article back to before your edit war with the IP over the content. However, this will serve as your final warning that if you persist in disruptively editing the article in a non-neutral fashion or in any fashion that violates Wikipedia policy, you risk being blocked. If you want to propose changes to the article, you may use the article talk page.--Bbb23 (talk) 19:17, 25 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
