Hello[edit]

Welcome ProjectZero. I'm sorry to see that you have been having a complicated start here. A few important points.

While Wikipedia is an encyclopedia anybody edit, it doesn't mean that we can accept all content. I realize from your notes that Gardner has submitted the bio to you/your organization, but that doesn't mean that there is no copyright on the text. Wikipedia does not accept copyrighted text, and the only way that material can be included is if the copyright holder (which is likely Gardner himself) specifically releases it into the public domain using the methods described above. The other option is for you or somebody else to rewrite the text in different words, with citations to the source of the information. That is probably the preferred option, since the bio did not actually have the appropriate tone for an encyclopedia article either, if you know what I mean. Please do not add the text back. If you continue to do so, I'm afraid to say that you might end up blocked from editing. WP takes copyright infringement very seriously.
As alluded to above, WP also seeks to have neutral point of view. This means that since there are well sourced criticisms of the Theory of multiple intelligences it is not appropriate to delete information about these, while adding material very supportive of the theory. This is not the place to advocate and promote this or any theory. Edits which look like they are trying to promote a particular point of view are regarded with concern, as you have already found, when your edits have been reverted.
As Mildly Mad points out, your user name might not be the best. Take a look at the info s/he points and see what you think. --Slp1 (talk) 00:39, 6 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
