Welcome

Hi there David, Thanks for your contribution of Dallas Dempster. Being a Perth local, I was surprised that the article "glossed" over the "failed entrepreneur" side to Dempster and focused so much on his early life and success. I then searched for your name and found that someone with your name runs a PR company. Are you representing Hyperion or Dempster in any way? Whilst this is not forbidden on wikipedia, it is controversial, so please read WP:PSCOI for a summary of what is considered OK and not OK to do.

Firstly - I'm not editing / changing a profile that was written by someone else. I wrote the profile of Dallas Dempster from scratch. In other words it's my orignial work that others (yourself included) are changing. And secondly - who are you? Hiding behind some absurd nickname - what a joke. I've proudly put my full name on the work I've done. Sounds from the above as if you are proud of your mighty detective work in tracking me down but you are hardly some great genius finding out who I work for - my name and contact details are on the Hyperion website as a contact for media inquiries for starters! Where to from here? You keep changing my work and I'll simply keep changing it back. The difference is I'm being paid to do this. What's your excuse? Nothing better to do in your spare time?????!!! David Ikin.

Thank you for your disclosure. Please read and comply with the requirements of WP:PSCOI and do not directly edits articles that you have conflicts of interest. Raise any issues on the talk page and neutral editors will assess them. You might want to read WP:NPA too before you vent again. The-Pope (talk) 05:03, 4 October 2012 (UTC)
