Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Editing tutorial
• Picture tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Naming conventions
• Simplified Manual of Style

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia

• Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
• Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
• Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
• No edit warring or sock puppetry.
• If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
• Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
• Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

In order to add information to Wikipedia, you must provide reliable sources that back up your statements. However, that is not quite enough in all circumstances; you must not connect sources in novel ways. For example, if one source says that Joe Executive is upper management at X Corporation, and another source says that X Corporation is in involved in a controversy, you may not connect the two sources to say that Joe Executive is involved in a controversy. You must find a source that explicitly connects Joe Executive to the controversy. Without this, your edit is in violation of our policy on biographies of living persons. If you continue to add synthesis that violates BLP, you can be blocked from editing. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 20:37, 21 June 2014 (UTC)

With respect, the edit does not appear a clear violation of our policy on biographies of living persons. And I have provided other sources showing direct responsibility for the products by the public figures mentioned. But there is some grey here as people are discussing, which seems appropriate. Some argue it is ok. Some argue it is not relevant. Some argue it is relevant but not sourced appropriately. Appears to be a good process for figuring it out.Pepsifree11 (talk) 15:45, 22 June 2014 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Stingray phone tracker shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
