User talk:Mary Bard

May 2010

MaryBard, it is not really necessary to post about Mr Hemple metting with the Bards on every single page related to Betty MacDonald. I have contacted Wiki about this and they see my point. They asked me to try to contact you and see if this can be settled amicably, if not the pages will be edited then LOCKED. If you would like to discuss this with me you can reach me at <redacted> —Preceding unsigned comment added by Johnftwa (talk • contribs)

Your insertion of the trivia that "In 1996 Betty MacDonald's Family had been interviewed by journalist Wolfgang Hampel, author of several biographícal books and stories about Betty MacDonald. Especially Betty MacDonald's youngest sister Alison Bard had a perfect memory. Alison Bard lived near by on Vashon Island and told very interesting and witty stories about her and Betty's experiences. This interview has been published on CD/DVD in 2009" onto page after page grows tiresome. Why not post it on a personal webpage or something rather than posting it across wikipedia?

You have not responded to anybody who has been reverting your edits. Would you welcome a moderator? Uucp (talk) 10:56, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

May 2010 (continued)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, but when you add or change content please cite a reliable source for the content of your edit. This is particularly important when adding or changing any facts or figures and helps maintain our policy of verifiability. Take a look at Wikipedia:Citing sources for information about how to cite sources and the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Welcome to Wikipedia. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

1. editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. JohnInDC (talk) 14:01, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

Please stop adding trivial material, supported only by unreliable sources, to these articles. They will continue to be reverted, and if you persist (particularly if you persist without discussing the matter on your Talk page, as several editors have asked), you risk being blocked from editing altogether. JohnInDC (talk) 11:08, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Betty MacDonald. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. JohnInDC (talk) 11:18, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at The Egg and I , you may be blocked from editing. JohnInDC (talk) 11:19, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

This is the final warning you will receive regarding your disruptive edits. If you vandalize Wikipedia again, as you did at Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. JohnInDC (talk) 11:20, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

Blocked

I have temporarily blocked this account because you have consistently failed to respond to concerns raised by other editors. Wikipedia is a collaborative venture and has a number of policies and guidelines intended to assist editors in maintaining this. Unfortunately non-responsiveness is not an option; we don't expect everyone to know all the rules, especially when they're new, but we do expect all editors to at least show a willingness to learn.

Before your block expires, which it will do automatically 48 hours from now, you would benefit from reading up on some of our more important editing policies and guidelines:

• Our Verification Policy states that all material added to Wikiepdia must be traceable back to a reliable source. That means you must provide some indication of where you got your information from (see WP:CITE for more information).
• Our Edit Warring Policy advises that if someone removes an edit you've made, you do not reinstate your edit but instead talk to the person who removed it to find out why. The Three-revert Rule is also worth looking at in this context.
• Your username and the nature of the content you were adding gives rise to the suspicion that you may be involved in some way with that content. Because of the free, open-source nature of this site, Wikipedians take a very dim view of promotional editing, and conflicts of interest are best declared openly; COI editing requires a very careful and tactful approach and may be resisted by other editors.

I hope this helps and that you follow the above advice. Further disruptive editing may lead to your account being permanently blocked, but we'd much rather welcome you as a productive member of our editing community. EyeSerene^talk 11:58, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
