Re Adam Leitman Bailey and New Milford High School (New Jersey)

I appreciate the effort to add sources, but the sources that are needed here are reliable and verifiable sources that establish a connection between Bailey and New Milford High School (New Jersey). I looked at all of the sources you provided, but none of them establish a connection for him to NMHS. I have searched in Google / News / Archive / Books and couldn't find a source to establish that he lived in New Milford or that he attended the school. As such, I have removed the entry for Baily from the NMHS article. It may well be possible to write an article for Bailey himself using some of the sources you provided, which would require independent sources from newspapers, magazines or books that are about Bailey, not just ones that happen to mention him in his role as attorney representing a client. As a model, the Wikipedia article for Jeffrey Lichtman includes material from this source which is about Lichtman. Please let me know if you can find appropriate sources and I will be happy to help create an article. Alansohn (talk) 22:08, 15 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Furthermore, in looking through your edits, all seem to be related to adding details of Mr. Baiely and his work. Some of them may be appropriate, but none of them have sources. I'm not sure what your relationship is to Bailey, but I would look at Wikipedia's conflict of interest policy in addition to policies requiring reliable and verifiable sourcing.

Please stop adding advertising or inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did in Park51. It is considered spamming, and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising. Thanks. NawlinWiki (talk) 15:06, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Internalb. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Adam Leitman Bailey, you may have a conflict of interest, or close connection to the subject.

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 following the 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:

Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

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. Teapotgeorge^Talk 18:46, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed maintenance templates from Adam Leitman Bailey. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

Additional editors and conflict of interest

Wikipedia's conflict of interest policy applies whether one editor is doing all of the editing or multiple editors are sharing in the edits. It's rather clear that you, User:Intern4AG, User:Midget99 and a number of other usernames are all editing the same set of articles in the same manner, with an undue overemphasis on promoting Adam Leitman Bailey. Rather than making matters better, you appear to be deliberately attempting to circumvent Wikipedia policy by abusing multiple accounts and acting in concert with each other (if there is truly more than one person involved), rather than trying to address the concerns that have been raised. The fact that these other usernames have also been removing tags to mark that the articles you have been editing have potential conflict of interest issues and appear to be advertising its subject, only further aggravates the problem. In such circumstances, it would be rather justified to delete the Bailey article and to undo the edits to the other associated articles, as well as to block the usernames involved. You can help solve this problem by dealing with the conflict of interest issue or you may likely end up with all of your work deleted. Please contact me on my talk page or via email if you have any questions about dealing with these policy violation concerns. Alansohn (talk) 06:29, 20 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
