Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Talk:Bloomex.

If this was a mistake, don't worry; the text has been restored, as you can see from the page history.

Thank you. --CliffC (talk) 18:52, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Occupation of the Channel Islands, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Please stop. If you continue to blank out or delete portions of page content, templates or other materials from Wikipedia, as you did to Talk:Bloomex, you will be blocked from editing. Dougweller (talk) 12:18, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits, such as those you made to Occupation of the Channel Islands. If you vandalize Wikipedia again, you will be blocked from editing. This editor's edits are all either stealth vandalism or blanking on Talk:Bloomex, which given the editor's name and that of other edits at Bloomex may be his main reason for editing. Hard to AGF here I'm afraid. Dougweller (talk) 12:20, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Apparent violation of our WP:Conflict of interest guideline. EdJohnston (talk) 14:25, 5 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I am florist from Europe. I edit some articles about floral industry in Europe in my free time. I used to work in USA in flower shops. We had bad blogs and chat post for flower shops. But flower shops did excellent job. Why you trust unobjective quotes? I do not understand why you are accusing me of COI?Alex (talk) 13:07, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

We have rules that say reliable sources may be quoted in our articles. Properly sourced criticism should not be removed. Such removal suggests that you are not motivated by the best interests of the encyclopedia. If a company has received some negative reviews in the press, it is not up to us to censor that record. Our goal is to neutrally report what others have published about the article topic. EdJohnston (talk) 13:13, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"If a company has received some negative reviews in the press". I am ok with that, and let Toronto Star article be. But her blog is not a "press". Alex (talk) 16:51, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Make your arguments on the article Talk page, and try to convince the editors there. EdJohnston (talk) 17:28, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
