September 2008

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from D-Link. When removing text, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the text has been restored, as you can see from the page history. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Please don't remove sourced information without first discussing it on the article talk page. Verbal chat 13:16, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not delete content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to D-Link, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you.

Problems with D-Link edits

Hi. I'm sorry to be so negative with the warnings above, but you need to justify removing sections from articles - especially when they have multiple sources. Please discuss this on the article talk page. Also, are you connected with D-Link in some way? If so you may need to read WP:COI which is our policy here on "conflicts of interest". Thanks! Please enter into a dialogue as otherwise you will be blocked for edit-warring as you are close to breaking the 3 Revert Rule - WP:3RR. I don't want you to be blocked, as you've added an article to WP already. So please instead of reverting again start a new section on the talk page with your reasons for removing the sections laid out. All the best, Verbal chat 14:07, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again, looking at the references you added to the Green Networking article I see a person with your name works for a PR company that works with D-Link. If this is you then the WP:COI guidelines defiantly apply, and you should only edit the article talk page (except to correct obvious mistakes/vandalism, but even then you should be careful). If you have a rebuttal to the points in the article please add them to the talk page and we can try and work them into the article. If you want any help with wikipedia please drop a note here, on my talk page, or look at the welcome message above. All the best, Verbal chat 14:16, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
