Your edits to Homeowners association

Thank you for editing this subject. There are many people who profit from the problems in HOAs and do not want the negative information to come to light. Thank you for taking the time to educate us as to the pitfalls of the current HOA situation Mike ReardonMike Reardon 02:02, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

I have just reverted your edits to this article, as they appeared to be uniformly negative and were completely unsourced, making some substantial claims that were unsupported by reliable sources. Please read through the links in the welcome message above; they will give you a good starting point in learning the guidelines that WIkipedia operates under. One of the key points is neutral point of view; all articles must be written in a manner that provides a neutral point of view. All additions must also be backed up by reliable sources, and verifiable. If you have issues with the article above, please go to the discussion page and bring them up there before adding unsourced information. Thanks. Tony Fox (arf!) review? 20:16, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

I'm glad to hear that you've got a good background in the topics to be discussed on the Homeowners association page. But as you say, you are a new user, and should take some time to read the links I provided above before making major edits to a page that do not have the references necessary to meet the verification guidelines. I should note that I've made few edits to that page and just happen to have it watchlisted because of previous point-of-view issues; I've no idea what you're inferring referring to my neutrality - I have nothing to do with the topic, and have no position whatsoever with the article.

As I said before, read the guidelines; your voluminous commentary on my talk page would suggest that you have some references to work with. Discuss the changes you'd like to make on the talk page to build a consensus and ensure there's a neutral perspective in the article. Thanks. Tony Fox (arf!) review? 23:06, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Help, I need an opinion from an uninvolved neutral wiki-editor on a subject

Help, I need an opinion from an uninvolved neutral wiki-editor on a subject Hello, if you have a few minutes to help a fellow editor out, I wanted to take a moment of your time to get your opinion on a dispute I'm having with a wikipedia editor. if you visit the page on "Homeowners Association", and look at the discussion, the dissent is about a link I placed on the page to the website "Homeowners Association Websites Central." A certain editor "Wangi" not only believes that I have no right to place the link in the external links section, but further has accused me of starting bogus accounts as new users simply to add this link. I figure if I get some well known wikipedians to look at the situation, the link, and add their opinion to the debate, then at least I will know that the crazy accusations of user fraud will stop. Boy, who would have thought this would be such a hassle. Anyway the url for the link in question is http://www.athomenet.com/homenew/homeowners-association-websites-central.asp , and you can see the long history by looking at the history log on the homeowners association page.... Please, whatever your opinion may be, place it in the discussion area page in the topic of external links of Homeowners association central, and if you think the content is helpful, please add or undo wangi's deletion of the page. I will respect whatever your opinion is. Thank you: 69.15.97.162 (talk) 15:52, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
