Hello, I'm Green hornet1415. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Nick Bateman (model) has been undone because it did not appear constructive. Please note that the edit you made about the subject regarding his personal achievements, including but not limited to, his accomplishments in the Karate tournaments is largely based on speculations on your part, unless of course, it can be verified from a reliable source, or the subject himself. As such, per WP:NOT and WP:CS, it violates Wikipedia's policies on articles about living persons. If you know a source which can validate the authenticity of the said information, please cite them. Furthermore, there are countless of social media personalities who have attained a massive following on their social media pages, however such an information is not to be included in their Wikipedia pages because the content becomes redundant. The subject at hand is no exception. Please make no further edits to the page without discussing it out first, otherwise I'll have to seek admin supervision. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. ~ Green hornet1415 (talk) 17:56, 07 December 2016 (UTC)

You should seek admin supervision if you keep feeling the need remove this key bio information, at this point to keep removing it seems to be more of a personal issue you have.— Preceding unsigned comment added by BatemanMgmt (talk • contribs)
- Hello BatemanMgmt. The National Post ref above is indeed a WP:Reliable source, but it's an interview with Bateman, where he claims to have won four unspecified martial arts championships. Interviews are WP:Primary sources, and the other three references are blogs, which are not considered reliable sources on Wikipedia. Since you appear to be professionally connected with Mr. Bateman, can you please clarify which championships he's won, so we can WP:Verify the claim with reliable, WP:Secondary sources?
- Please also read WP:Conflict of interest: it may be impossible for you to write about this subject objectively, if you have a professional connection with him. Thanks, Wikishovel (talk) 05:26, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
