Welcome!

Hello, Waltypete, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your edits to the page Kathy Freston have not conformed to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and may be removed if they have not yet been. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media.

Hello, I'm RolandR. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Kathy Freston, but you didn’t support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. RolandR (talk) 00:26, 19 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add unreferenced or poorly referenced information, especially if controversial, to articles or any other page on Wikipedia about living (or recently deceased) persons, as you did to Kathy Freston. Thank you.--Jezebel's Ponyo^{bons mots} 22:57, 19 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add soapboxing, promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, as you did at Blue Zone, you may be blocked from editing. Theroadislong (talk) 19:10, 1 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

Please accept my apology that my edits and information were considered as disruptive editing, that was definitely not my goal.

Would you be able to provide some guidance around the information that was considered disruptive?

If possible I'd simply like to update the information around how many Blue Zone areas there are. Currently on the site it says 7 but through my extensive research and readings of the book there are currently only 5 confirmed.

I am also interested in why this section was allowed as it seems very promotional: "Monterey Bay has launched a partnership with the country of Costa Rica as part of a Blue Economy initiative to become the sixth location to join the new "Blue Zones" of the world. The Blue Economy partners have launched a working group on sustainable living and joining the efforts of the "Blue Zones" to expand exceptional areas of health, hospitality, recreation and eco-tourism to create areas of very low carbon footprints, very healthy environments of sustainable oceans, hospitality and living.".

Any insight would be very much appreciated.
