Please do not remove information from articles, as you did to
Mark Amodei. Wikipedia is
not censored, and content is not removed on the sole grounds of perceived offensiveness. Please discuss this issue on the article's talk page to reach
consensus rather than continuing to remove the disputed material. If the content in question involves
images, you also have the option to
configure Wikipedia to hide the images that you may find offensive. Thank you.

Hello Pdemarco2004. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things
you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a
conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.
All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about following the reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.
If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:
- Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
- Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
- Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
- Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.
Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.
For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. 99.155.206.229 ( talk) 19:10, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
- Two problems here: you are removing properly sourced content and replacing it with unreferenced material, and it is very likely that you are closely affiliated with the subject. Please read Wikipedia guidelines. If you believe the current text is an inaccurate representation of the cited sources, please rewrite it to more accurately reflect the references, or add other reliable sources, per WP:RELIABLE.
