Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that in this edit to Bryan Clark, you removed content without adequately 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, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Materialscientist (talk) 15:50, 8 March 2020 (UTC)

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits referred to above, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so that you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

Your recent editing history at Bryan Clark shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Bryan Clark, you may have a conflict of interest (COI).

• disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);

Hi IP 72.201.0.109. If you have concerns about the content of the article Bryan Clark, then please take a look at Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons#Relationship between the subject, the article, and Wikipedia because there are procedures in place in which you can seek assistance from other editors. Please understand that Wikipedia article content is only intended to reflect what is being written about the subject of an article in reliable sources, and negative isn't going to be removed simply because it's negative anymore than positive is going to be added simply because it's positive. What matters is whether the concerned content is in accordance with relevant policies and guidelines. If you have any further questions about this, feel free to ask for assistance at Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard because there are editors there who will try and sort things out and help you if they can or at least try and explain why if they cannot. -- Marchjuly (talk) 14:06, 16 March 2020 (UTC)
