  Welcome 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 Brother Stair 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. TheWave (talk) 02:09, 12 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Greetings. Your edits on the Brother Stair article, in my humble opinion, run afoul of both our neutral point of view policy and our policy regarding biographies of living persons. I freely acknowledge that the subject of this article is one that many people have strong feelings about, as shown by all the "last day prophet" vs "false prophet" edits that go around. However, Wikipedia is no place for diatribes against perceived heretics or hypocrites. Our information must be neutrally reported, using reliable sources, and I'm not at all certain that most of the anti-cult type groups qualify as such. Even if we have reliable sources, we can't give undue weight to a particular aspect of a person's life, positive or negative. As such, I have reverted to my highly stripped version. I am happy to discuss this with you, and invite you to explain your position at Talk:Brother Stair; perhaps we can come to an agreement that would respect Wikipedia's policies. I do think that it is possible to include some appropriately sourced criticism of the subject, but a return to something like this is highly improper, and is grounds for your account to be blocked. Take care, Xymmax So let it be written So let it be done 01:19, 21 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Ralph Gordon Stair

edit
 

Please do not make statements attacking people or groups of people. Wikipedia has a strict policy against personal attacks. Attack pages and images are not tolerated by Wikipedia and are speedily deleted. Users who continue to create or repost such pages and images in violation of our biographies of living persons policy will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Thank you.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. ttonyb1 (talk) 00:28, 22 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

  This is your only warning.
The next time you violate Wikipedia's biographies of living persons policy by inserting unsourced defamatory content into an article or any other Wikipedia page, as you did to Brother Stair, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. You have been warned about adding unsubstantiated attack material to articles. If you continue to so, you will banned from editing or creating articles. If you wish to add controversial material it has to be properly sourced. See WP:REF for help in determining proper sources. ttonyb1 (talk) 04:32, 23 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
