Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. 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) 08:37, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! Thank you for your recent contributions to Raffy Tulfo. I did have one note for you. I am working on a maintenance project to clean up Category:Pages using infoboxes with thumbnail images. In the future, please do not use thumbnails when adding images to an infobox (see WP:INFOBOXIMAGE). What does this mean? Well in the infobox, when you specify the image you wish to use, instead of doing it like this: |image=[[File:SomeImage.jpg|thumb|Some image caption]], instead just supply the name of the image. So in this case you can simply do: |image=SomeImage.jpg. There will then be a separate parameter for the image caption such as |caption=Some image caption. Please note that this is a generic form message I am leaving on your page because you recetly added a thumbnail to an infobox. The specific parameters for the image and caption may be different for the infobox you are using! Please consult the Template page for the infobox being used to see better documentation. Thanks!!

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Raffy Tulfo. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. I also see that you have stated that you are working for Raffy Tulfo, in which case in accordance with Wikipedia's guidelines on conflict of interest you should probably not be editing the article at all.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, as you did with this edit to Raffy Tulfo, you may be blocked from editing. Eye snore 17:34, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If you honestly don't see that such things as "He is a hard-hitting, no-holds-barred commentator on issues pertaining to abuses and injustices committed by people in power against ordinary citizens" and "He is a known champion of the poor. He fights for the downtrodden" are not neutral statements of fact, but rather promotional commentary designed to indicate that the person in question deserves our admiration, then it is unlikely that you will ever be able to edit Wikipedia in the neutral way required. A Wikipedia article about a person should report on that person neutrally, and should not express any opinion or point of view, either supportive or critical. It should also reflect the way that the person is reported by neutral third party sources, and it should not be designed to promote the view of that person that he or she wishes to publicise.
There is another fact which has not yet been mentioned but which you need to be aware of. Wikipedia works by collaboration, and when editors disagree, they should discuss the reasons for their disagreements, with a view to if possible reaching agreement. It is considered unhelpful for individual editors to keep on posting their own preferred version in the face of reverts by other editors, presumably in the hope that eventually other editors will give up. Doing so, known as "edit warring" is considered disruptive, and if it continues it can lead to being blocked from editing by an administrator. If you wish to, you may read more about it in the policy on edit warring. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 19:18, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
