Hi there

Hi Donnylong,

My name is jonny-mt, and I am an administrator here on Wikipedia. Your recent edits were called to my attention, and so I wanted to stop by an explain a few things in an attempt to sort this all out.

First off, we need to confirm that this account does in fact belong to Donny Long--this can be done by sending an e-mail to info-en@wikimedia.org from an account that can reasonably be traced back to yourself. This is necessary to prevent impersonation, and failure to do so can result in this username being blocked.

Secondly, I need to advise you that edits such as this one constitute personal attacks and are not acceptable under Wikipedia policy.

Finally, I would like to point you to our policy on biographies of living persons. I notice from some of your edits that you are attempting to remove content from the article on Donny Long--while we place the highest priority on ensuring that all information in articles on living persons is accurate and properly sourced, please be advised that it is not possible to have your article blanked and/or deleted without a valid reason.

Thank you for your time, and please do not hesitate to contact me on my talk page or participate in the discussion linked in the first paragraph. --jonny-m t 02:53, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
