May 2013[edit]

Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. 198.228.201.150 (talk) 21:26, 4 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, but a recent edit of yours has an edit summary that appears to be inaccurate or inappropriate. Please use edit summaries that accurately tell other editors what you did, and feel free to use the sandbox for any tests you may want to do. Thank you. 99.136.252.252 (talk) 18:41, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop. Continuing to remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia without resolving the problem that the template refers to, may be considered disruptive editing. Further edits of this type may result in your account being blocked from editing. 99.136.252.252 (talk) 18:41, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Then help me for gods sake and tell me what's wrong. Not a list of 5 things that "Could" be wrong.

Not could be wrong...specifically, the article lacks acceptable sources, inline citations to support nearly all content, has been very nearly a press release since its inception (though I made some effort to improve the tone), and was written by a clear conflict of interest WP:COI account, bearing the name of the subject's representative, if memory serves. If you have a conflict of interest it's advisable that you resist editing the article. I've requested further assistance at the Biography of Living Persons noticeboard. 99.136.252.252 (talk) 19:05, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I've taken the biography of Living Persons out completely as I don't think it was necessary. (it may have been a residue copy/paste from another article as a template) I do not plan on making any more edits.

Don't thank me yet--I've also placed a notability template on the article which I presume is your biography. The only sources used for citations refer to the movies, not to Mr. Durban or his work. The net result is that such articles do look like promotional vehicles, with conflict of interest editing. 99.136.252.252 (talk) 19:25, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Mica's work is the wiki page I have been editing. She is someone that i've been asked to help create a valid wiki page. This has nothing to do with the Justin Durban wiki page.

Yes, though you've also edited at the biography of Justin R. Durban, so I wanted to explain the rationale for my action there. The bottom line is that you seem to have come to Wikipedia as a COI account; several accounts appear to have 'been asked' to work on the Mossbacher page.... 99.136.252.252 (talk) 19:43, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

correct me please, but Isn't that what a WIKI page is supposed to be for? To be the most accurate information possible? Yes, I have edited my biography page due to changed information. I would assume Mica has new or changed information as well. Otherwise, WIKI is a bust and anyone could contribute untrue facts. They asked me to help add some formatting to the page, so that's what I was attempting to do. I'm Sorry If I am providing false information or unreliable integrity to the accuracy of this Wiki Pedia page. Perhaps I should has ms Moschbacher to edit herself? I apologize if I have stepped beyond my bounds and again, I am finished editing her page.

An encyclopedic article must be composed of content which can be verified through objective, reliable sources. Sometimes, though very rarely, that is accomplished by accounts who are associated with the subject. More often than not, though, such articles are non-neutral in tone, and rely upon press releases, anecdotal information from the subject, or the subject's website, none of which are acceptable sources. It's probably fair to say that though the latter is far more offensive, more biographies of living people--with the exception of extremely high-profile or controversial subjects--suffer from promotional excesses and anecdotal trivia, than from libel. That everything in the article may be true is not disputed--unless it's properly sourced it can, and ought to be removed. I'm adding a 'welcome' template up top, which links to the site's guidelines, and is required reading for all. 99.136.252.252 (talk) 20:03, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
