Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to 40/40 Club, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you.

- A reminder that anyone employed by or connected to the 40/40 club has a conflict of interest in regard to it. Please review our policies concerning editing with a conflict of interest, which you'll find here. Beyond My Ken (talk) 22:04, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
- After looking over your edits, which have all been to the article about the 40/40 Club, I think you should review some basic Wikipedia policies. First, everything here has to be verifiable by other editors. The way we do that is by taking our information from reliable sources and providing a citation from that source to support it. Information that you know because of your job or position but which has not been publicly released cannot be used, because it cannot be verified. You cannot use yourself as a source, except if you are an expert on the subject and the information you are quoting has been published -- if, say, you were interviewed by the Times or something, the information could be used because that newspaper is considered to be a reliabel source. Except for commonplace things,wWe don't allow personal experience to be used -- it's a form of original research.
So, in the future, if you know something that you wish to add to the article, please find a citation from a reliable source -- a newspaper, magazine or book, for instance -- that supports that information, because without it the information will be deleted from the article, and you will have wasted your time and ours. Thanks. Beyond My Ken (talk) 22:20, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
