Hello, I'm
TenPoundHammer. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a
neutral point of view. Your recent edit to
Chris Janson seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on
my talk page. Thank you. Ten Pound Hammer • (

Please do not add commentary or your own
personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to
Chris Janson. Doing so violates Wikipedia's
neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. Please quit removing the sources already in the article, please quit using informal speech such as "avid outdoorsman", and… please… don't… use… ellipses. Ten Pound Hammer • (

Hello, Kibus1. We
welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but since you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things
you have written about in the article
Chris Janson per
this link, you may need to consider our guidance on
conflicts of interest.
All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.
If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:
Please familiarize yourself with relevant content 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 a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. -- Uzma Gamal ( talk) 08:20, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
