Please stop your deletion rampage and begin discussing matters on the articles' talk pages. None of the content you're deleting is particularly unusual for Wikipedia, and it's pretty standard newspaper fodder as well. NewEnglandYankee ( talk) 23:10, 28 April 2018 (UTC)
You currently appear to be engaged in an
edit war according to the reverts you have made on
Kim Delaney. Users are expected to
collaborate with others, to avoid editing
disruptively, and to
try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. NewEnglandYankee ( talk) 23:15, 28 April 2018 (UTC)
Please stop your
disruptive editing. If you continue to
vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at
Roger Clinton Jr., you may be
blocked from editing. etothepi 👽

Please read about the bold-revert-discuss cycle. You made an edit. Other editors disagreed with your edit. You should now discuss the edit on the article's talk page. If you do, you edits may be accepted. If you do not, your edits will not be accepted, you'll probably be blocked, and the article may be locked down. NewEnglandYankee ( talk) 23:18, 28 April 2018 (UTC)
You may be
blocked from editing without further warning the next time you
vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at
Jackie Warner. Not liking a particular piece of information does not make it any less true or relevant etothepi 👽

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.
I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Jackie Warner, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.
To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.
One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)
In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms our use and policy on paid editing.
Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a
Wikipedian! Please

before the question. Again, welcome!

If you are paid / receiving any kind of compensation for doing these edits, you are required by our terms of service to disclose this. It does not mean that your edits are wrong -- those that I have seen actually appear to be reasonable, and I have not undone them. However, please disclose any affiliation to the article subjects before continuing to edit. ~ ToBeFree ( talk) 23:47, 28 April 2018 (UTC)
As you have been told multiple times, there is nothing wrong with removing unsourced material. But please post a discussion on the article talk page before you do so. Such changes should be done by community consensus, not unilaterally by an IP account. If you really do have good things to contribute, Wikipedia will welcome you, but only if you go about doing so properly. etothepi 👽

Agreed. We'll gladly welcome any contributions you make in good faith, especially when it comes to improving citations (a particular bugbear of mine, I admit), but attacking established editors as "eggheads" who don't know policy isn't exactly the best approach to improving an encyclopedia. We can hash things out on the talk page, and discussions do get lively, but personal attacks will get you nowhere. —
