Re your edits
[edit]- You might want to read Wikipedia guidelines, particularly regarding sources WP:RELIABLE, tone WP:NPOV, and WP:COPYVIO, in the event that some of the promotional-sounding text you're adding is being copied from other sources. Eventually someone else will clean up after you or revert much of what you're adding. 99.12.242.126 (talk) 21:42, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
- Given that some of what you're adding is promotional in tone, and observing your user name, it's appropriate to ask whether you're acting as a representative of the group. If so, please also read policies re: conflict of interest, WP:COI. Than you, 99.12.242.126 (talk) 21:58, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
- I've reverted all your edits, as they were unsourced and promotional in tone. This was explained above. If you choose to re-add unsourced material I'll request further input from objective editors. It would be helpful if you attempted to answer these concerns, rather than continuing in the same vein. Thank you, 99.12.242.126 (talk) 22:06, 21 April 2012 (UTC)

Username
[edit]
Welcome to Wikipedia. I saw how you edited or created The MacDonald Brothers, and I noticed that the username you have chosen, "Themacsofficial", seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of something other than yourself. Please note that you may not edit on behalf of a company, group, institution, product, or website, and Wikipedia does not allow usernames that are promotional or have the appearance of shared use. If you are willing to use a personal account, please take a moment to create a new account or request a username change that represents only yourself as an individual. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and remember that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. --Drm310 (talk) 03:48, 11 October 2012 (UTC)
