Hello, I reverted your recent edits to the article on David James McFadden. While the information is interesting it violates several Wikipedia policies. Firstly, for articles on living people (see WP:BLP) all information must be referenced from reliable sources (see WP:RS). Secondly, biographies must be written in a neutral unbiased way (see WP:NPOV). Most of the information you added was written to look like a resume which is not what Wikipedia is (see WP:NOT). Many of your edits included inline hyperlinks which are not allowed (see WP:MOS). The only reason that McFadden has an article here is because of his political history. The rest of his activities are just background (see WP:Notability). His activities as a lawyer or as a player in the energy sector are certainly interesting but do not by themselves constitute notability. Please review these policies before adding to this article.

Hello, I understand that you think there was too much information added to the article on David James McFadden, but I disagree that all of it should have been deleted. For example, additional details about his political life and involvement were provided in that section, and yet you deleted them. I also believe that several of the entries about his work leading to the creation of laws, in both Canada and the United States, is notable and relevant. There are many articles written about living people who are lawyers, and the sites are created for their legal work that is no more notable than the work of David James McFadden. Is it possible for me to speak to someone about this because I believe this article should be updated and could include even more information about his political career?
