Why is every thing that I post being deleted

@Jytdog: How was my past edit undue? I just said that a past fund with a similar strategy failed to take off and that the charity the fund gave didn't have a tax credit. These are just facts. I took out the possibly controversial stuff about the company's history. I feel that I am being unfairly picked on. Ryulong, deletes all my stuff without explanation and makes angry comments towards me. He failed to get me banned because I told the truth when I said that I am not a sock puppet. You find fault with everything that I am writing but not with Ryulong. I'm going to sleep. This is so frustrating. Everyone is out to protect financial companies at all costs on here. I am a true capitalist as I say in my profile, but rewritting history to deny people information when making opinions and decisions is against true capitalism in my view. I feel strongly about this point but I might just quit editing wikipedia. The editors are so unfair. If you can explain to me why this is not the case, please do so.Icelandicgolfer (talk) 23:47, 24 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please discuss content, not contributors, as described in the talk page guidelines. My edit note said that the material you added was what we call "undue weight". Did you read that link, and if so you, do you understand how it applies to your edit? I'll explain - this article is about Phillipe Cousteau, and the goal of the article is to discuss him. This article is not about AdvisorShares - your edit gave half the space devoted to Cousteau's career to that fund, and you loaded all kinds of criticism of that fund into the article, which had nothing to do with Phillipe Cousteau. That is why I reverted it. Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 23:52, 24 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Note, the OP has been banned as a meatpuppet and the SPI was closed here. Jytdog (talk) 14:09, 27 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

additions deleted

User:Lamg123 please keep in mind the WP:BLP policy - everything in this article must be sourced to a reliable source, as described in WP:RS. Please also keep in mind the WP:NPOV and WP:PROMO policies. Content must conform to policy. If you don't understand any of those policies please ask and I'll be happy to explain. Thanks.

User:Jytdog All added paragraphs are documented with 3rd party references readily available in Google News searches. It seems that your edit is not complaint with the WP:BLP policy since no references are provided and not to the benefit of Wikipedia readers. For the benefit of Wikipedia and collaboration, may I suggest pointing out elements that you feel require more references rather than returning the page to a less sourced, less referenced, and less accurate version (e.g., missing mother name data & current residence city). Thanks User:Lamg123 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 23:35, 14 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Example - the following is unsourced and promotional: "EarthEcho International is the leading environmental education organization dedicated to building and activating a new generation of youth who will solve the most critical problems facing people and the planet. EarthEcho provides inspired and relevant educational content to make learning about our world, an adventure; they provide 21st Century tools and resources empower and equip youth to take action to solve environmental issues starting in their own communities."

User:Jytdog I agreed that the example paragraph does not add much to the subject matter and could understand a proposed delete of that paragraph. However, you deleted everything including the last 4 years of that person' accomplishments (each referenced), photos, current residence info, and parents' names. That's against Wikipedia's rules to delete salvageable content so I suggest that you restore all salvageable content in this page and the other pages I contributed to in good faith ASAP. Thanks. User:Lamg123 (talk)

I removed some more unsourced stuff. I restored some of what you added, but other stuff was pretty much trivia; please keep in mind that WP is an encyclopedia, not a personal blog where everything a person does gets recorded. Also, the file you uploaded here violates the copyright of EarthEcho and I have noted that on the file. Jytdog (talk) 02:35, 15 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

User:Jytdog May I ask what qualifies you as a judge of what is relevant about Philippe Cousteau Jr.'s accomplishments. I certainly see plenty of personalities with a detailed list of each of the books they have written, each of the awards they have received, and each of the TV and movie shows they have produced or contributed to. You deleted all of the awards, the books and many shows plus every section and sub-sections headers that made the page easier to read. You also deleted the photo I contributed before the standard 7-day period allocated to send permission. I believe that you are overstepping your role at Wikipedia and, in doing so, decreasing the quality of the overall project.

You may not ask me that; it is not relevant to what we do here. I do understand WP's policies and guidelines very well. About other articles, see WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Jytdog (talk) 23:03, 18 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Lamg123 please stop adding promotional content to the article. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and is meant to be neutral. You include things in the content here that read like a press release ("is an Emmy-nominated TV host, author, speaker, and social entrepreneur who has established himself as a prominent leader in the environmental movement.") That is not what Wikipedia is for. A bunch of the content you have wanted to add is in the article. Please stop pushing this over the top and into PR.

User:Lamg123 Please do see the note above. Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 04:38, 29 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
