editWelcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. One of the core policies of Wikipedia is that articles should always be written from a neutral point of view. A contribution you made to Cameron Carpenter appears to carry a non-neutral point of view, and your edit may have been changed or reverted to correct the problem. Please remember to observe our core policies. Thank you. Bongomatic 08:15, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, you may not know that Wikipedia has a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Using different styles throughout the encyclopedia, as you did in Cameron Carpenter, makes it harder to read. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Bongomatic 08:15, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
Your recent addition to Cameron Carpenter has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

Removal of sourced material
editHi DoctorBenwayMD
I saw you removed reliably sourced material voluntarily disclosed by the subject of this WP:BLP. Given the source, it, de facto, cannot be considered a privacy violation. Please review the relevant policy in order to understand what is and is not a privacy violation.

Copyright problems
editHello,
Just wanted to let you know that the Cameron Carpenter photo you uploaded cannot be accepted for inclusion in Wikipedia because it is copyrighted. Wikipedia only allows users to upload files that are either free or that meet the very strict "fair use" guidelines, which this image does not.
Nevertheless, thanks for contributing, and be sure to check out the welcome page to learn more about how Wikipedia works and to learn about the various policies and guidelines. —BMRR (talk) 15:26, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
Your edits to Cameron Carpenter
editPlease do not remove information from articles, as you did to Cameron Carpenter. Wikipedia is not censored, and content is not removed even if some believe it to be contentious. Please discuss this issue on the article's talk page to reach consensus rather than continuing to remove the disputed material. You also have the option to configure Wikipedia to hide the images that you may find offensive. Thank you. —BMRR (talk) 15:38, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Cameron Carpenter. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. Please be aware of the three revert rule. If you violate this rule, you are likely to be blocked from editing Wikipedia for a period of time.

This is the only warning you will receive for your disruptive edits. You will be blocked from editing the next time you vandalize a page, as you did with this edit to Cameron Carpenter. SchnitzelMannGreek. 15:51, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
