Hello, BossMan900, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one of your contributions does not conform to Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View policy (NPOV). Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media.
There's a page about the NPOV policy that has tips on how to effectively write about disparate points of view without compromising the NPOV status of the article as a whole. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, to ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. Below are a few other good links for newcomers:
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- Contributing to Wikipedia
- How to edit a page
- Help pages
- Tutorial
- How to write a great article
- Simplified Manual of Style

Hello, I'm
7 qz. I noticed that you recently removed content from
Dahabshiil without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate
edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the
sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on
my talk page. Thanks.

- 7_qz, I saw the exchange between you and BossMan900. Since they are a new contributor, I am leaving this note here, rather than your talk page.
- BossMan900, I initiated a sockpuppet investigation because of your apparent use of multiple wiki-IDs.
- I would also suggest you review WP:COI. About a decade ago Dahabshiil employed a UK public relations firm, Bell-Pottinger, to sanitize the Dahabshiil page. Unfortunately for Bell-Pottinger, and Dahabshiil, enterprising UK reporters published an investigative report on Bell-Pottinger's ethically very questionable sanitization. A possibly drunk senior executive at Bell-Pottinger bragged, at some length, about the unethical deception they employed to sanitize the Dababshill article.
- You absolutely are not entitled to replace the version of any article with your preferred version, when you have a conflict of interest, as per WP:COI. COI does provide avenues for you to address genuine inaccuracies. Please use those.
- I started the Dahabshiil article, in 2006. I drafted the material that described how US military analysts tied Dahabshiil with terrorism. Personally, I was highly skeptical of their attempts. But our policies say contributors are not supposed to contribute what they personally think is the truth. Rather we are supposed to contribute what can be verified from reliable sources.
- If you work for Dahabshiil, were you aware that the shills that Bell-Pottinger employed seemed prepared to insert false information into the article?
- So, if you continue to think that the article contains genuine inaccuracies, could you please make an effort to explain what you regard as an inaccuracy, in detail? Geo Swan ( talk) 09:18, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
