Accounting firms

Hi Brookie, I thought the day started well, with us playing on the same side for a change. However, by the end of it I find you have been removing carefully cited work as "puff", and other work because it "appears" (to you) "to be placed promotion". I assure you that I have no vested interest or connection with the business firms whose articles I create or edit. It is discouraging to repeatedly find you deleting what I thought were valid contributions to the encyclopedia, some of which were painstakingly sourced, with such peremptory comments.

I don't want to get into edit warring with you. We are both experienced editors here. Can we find a better way of working together? – Fayenatic (talk) 23:25, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the note - certainly don't an edit war - if you're not happy with my good faith edits - please feel free to revert them! I am concerned that some of these type of articles end up as a plug and I am keen to maintain NPOV. Brookie :) { - he's in the building somewhere!} ^(Whisper...) 09:24, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

OK, thanks. I have trimmed what I have put back. – Fayenatic (talk) 21:53, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
