Your Les Balsiger article and edits -- see WP:BLP[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not add unreferenced negative biographical information concerning living persons to Wikipedia articles. Thank you.

Please see:

It's not clear beyond a reasonable doubt that the Les Balsiger of Troy, Montana who orchestrated anti-Catholic advertising is the same person as the Les Balsiger that's working in La Grande, Oregon. An incorrect Wikipedia article could ruin an innocent person's reputation and career. It could also open both Wikipedia -- and yourself -- open to major libel litigation.

Please study Wikipedia's Biographies of Living Persons Policy very closely -- it's the strictest policy we have.

I've made some major edits to fix these problems.

Any edits you make to articles about living people must meet all these requirements:
