Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. I removed the following link(s): http://www.facebook.com/mrgreek.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page.

It's nice to know that someone with up to date knowledge of Mr. Greek is also contributing to its article, it helps to ensure that the basic facts (number of restaurants, history) are up to date. However wikipedia is collaboration; contributors are made up of more than just one person. When a representative of the company is involved (like you claim to be) then you run the risk of facing a Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. In most cases actual representatives of a company are not even allowed to edit the articles associated with their work, some have actually been banned from editing because wikipedia maintains a Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view. Some of the material you added earlier was deleted for that reason by another user. The edits you reverted that I added were deleted without justification; they are supported by a source (the video which features the man who started both concepts). If you can explain why the 2 different concepts I pointed out in the introduction are wrong then we can discuss how my edit can be changed. If you recall all of the original edits on this page were added by me because I started the page over a year ago.Grmike (talk) 22:04, 1 June 2011 (UTC)grmike
- Also may I ask does the owner (George Raios) not want his interview used as a reference? I'm just trying to figure out why there's so much opposition to the simple edit I contributed from Mr. Greek?Grmike (talk) 22:19, 1 June 2011 (UTC)grmike
