Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, such as on Talk:Baxter International, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. WLU (t) (c) Wikipedia's rules:simple/complex 16:57, 23 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Baxter International, 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 from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, 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 conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Thank you.

This edit is one of the reasons employees are not permitted to edit their company's pages. Your effort demonstrates a significant lack of understanding of wikipedia's policies (in the form of conflict of interest), and manual of style. You removed a sentence from the lead section, which is mean to summarize all significant parts of the article including controversies. This is not a 'repetition' of the other information, it's an adequate summary of the body of the paragraph. I will be reporting this to WP:COIN; I don't expect anything further to come of this, but you should not ever repeat an action like this. Editing the talk page is permitted, editing the main page is not. WLU (t) (c) Wikipedia's rules:simple/complex 18:16, 3 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
