Welcome, with caution

The above is boilerplate; this is more of a personal welcome, with serious caveats. I would be happy to work with you as you learn your way around Wikipedia, but I have to say, your first edits on the Swraj Paul, Baron Paul article give me concern. Let me list them here:

You have removed sourced material.
You have added unsourced material.
You have altered wording, including in the lede, to give a more positive spin to his affairs.

I note your username, Elizabeth B Allan. An Elizabeth Allan is listed as Lord Paul's secretary in the House of Lords report on his conduct. If you are she, then editing your employer's Wikipedia biography is considered poor conduct. It is, in fact, a major conflict of interest, and Wikipedia has a policy about that.

If you think anything in the article is incorrect, you are welcome to enter information about Lord Paul on the article talkpage, and I or other Wikipedia editors will be happy to consider it for inclusion. There's a good overview here about what marketing professionals can legitimately do to ensure that their clients get fair representation; I think the same applies for employees of an individual in the public eye.

Remember that Wikipedia attempts to hold itself to high standards. All material must be verifiable - see Wikipedia:Verifiability. The material you have entered is not, and so I will be reverting all of it. Should you wish to re-instigate any part, please discuss on the talkpage, giving references for each item, and I will do what I can to help you. BrainyBabe (talk) 19:01, 17 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
