Greetings, We need to to make sure all content added can be attributed to a reliable source. I removed some of the content that you added that I didn't see mentioned in the sources provided. I also restored some content which was reliably sourced.CFredkin (talk) 22:30, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
David Jolly - Warning #2
Greetings, please refrain from editing David Jolly's wikipedia page. The David Jolly wikipedia page is results of years of editing and work done on behalf of wikipedia editors, not poltical candidates or consultants. It has come to our attention that this account represents a Florida political consulting firm for David Jolly. Wikipedia is a place for public knowledge and facts. It is not to be tampered with and 'scrubbed down' by a candidate who doesn't want people to know or see something about themselves. Please note, all future attempts will continue to be reverted, & everything on the page is well-cited and factual. Simply put, facts are facts. VisaBlack (talk) 03:42, 6 April 2016 (UTC)
- Also, it is worth pointing out that the more the COI editor edits here, the more press they will likely to get. For a communications company without a basic understanding of how Wikipedia works, you can end up doing a lot more harm than good. HappyValleyEditor (talk) 15:22, 6 April 2016 (UTC)
I'll note that if you are being paid to edit Wikipedia, according to our WP:Terms of Use, you need to declare the paid relationship on Wikipedia. Please see WP:PAID. Even if you are not being paid, but have a conflict of interest, you should make a declaration of the conflict of interest. Please see WP:COI. I will open a discussion at WP:Conflict of Interest Noticeboard, if one hasn't already been opened. You should check there and address the issues raised. Thanks.

Username issue
As this appears to be a corporate account for Bascom Communications & Consulting per this aticle, I am providing you notice that this username violates our username policy. It is likely to be indefinitely blocked on that account. Please see the notice below for options...
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Bascomcomm", may not comply with our username policy. Please note that you may not use a username that represents the name of a company, group, organization, product, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Foobar Museum of Art". However, you are invited to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you personally, such as "Jack Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87".
Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people, and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, or website, regardless of your username. Moreover, I recommend that you read our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please create a new account or request a change of username, by completing this form, that complies with our username policy. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. Jytdog (talk) 07:00, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
Thank you. We are in the process of changing our username.
- Sorry, but there is a minor correction to be made, "changing our username" is incorrect. The username must be for a single individual. It cannot be a group account - 1 person only per account. Also if you are going to be doing paid editing, you *must* declare your paid status per WP:Terms of Use. Smallbones(smalltalk) 19:59, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
- Yes, what Smallbones said is correct. Please reply and confirm that one human being will be using this account; if you do not we will again need to block this account. Once you do, we'll need to discuss conflict of interest and paid editing in Wikipedia; I'll open a new section for that. But one thing at a time. Please confirm that one person will use this account. Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 22:20, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
Understood, thank you. Yes, one human will be using this account.

Your username is the only reason for this block. You are welcome to choose a new username (see below) and continue editing.
A username should not be promotional, related to a "real-world" group or organization, misleading, offensive or disruptive. Also, usernames may not end in the word "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account.
You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines and create the account yourself. Alternatively, if you have already made edits and you wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:
- Adding
{{unblock-un|your new username here}}
on your user talk page. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked, as you can usually still edit your own talk page. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "E-mail this user" on their talk page. - At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
- Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. The account is created upon acceptance, thus do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change. For more information, please see Wikipedia:Changing username.
- Adding
{{unblock|Your reason here}}
, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 06:51, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
