Adam Leitman Bailey and related articles
[edit]This page, and related pages, have been the subject of repeated attempts by associates of Bailey to lard them up with his accomplishments in a highly promotional manner. Several editors were blocked for their unrelenting efforts in violation of Wikipedia policy - see Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Internalb/Archive for some examples. These issues have all been extensively discussed at Talk:Adam Leitman Bailey. If you want to restore the material, please take up the issue there. Thanks. JohnInDC (talk) 16:57, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

- Mentioning his work in the New York Real Estate field is not promotional, neither is mentioning awards which he has received. GHFkRyan
- Yes, these are notable awards. ANY attorney who will agree. Chambers and Super Lawyers are both organizations that are their to recognize the best and brightest. Once you've been selected you are given the award, an award that is not given out to just anyone. NYC is full of attorneys in all areas of the law and being recognized by these organizations is in fact notable. If you have an issue with the language or tone then lets discuss it. Puffery means "exaggerated or false praise" which neither of these awards are.
- I am more than willing to work with Theroadislong as to the language used, but not willing to spend time trying to explain to you what these awards are or mean.GHFkRyan

[edit]
Your recent editing history at Adam Leitman Bailey shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's 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 BRD 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 your 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.
