Thanks for your message. I wish you well on the article. Be aware you may have problems at any point in future. Be bold in editing, but be slow, polite and careful in responding to what other's do. If someone reverts what you have done, and you don't know why, talk to them - and talk to them in a neutral manner. There may be a good reason for their action, and if there is not, you can often explain to them why your way is better. If you talk to them in an aggressive way, they will usually respond badly, and matters will take longer to get settled. If you make no progress with civil negotiation, then call on me for assistance. Or, if I'm not available, ask for a Third Opinion. |

Somebody gave me this award once - I think you have earned it for learning to be patient during what must have been a stressful time for you in the editing of that article. You seem to be a resourceful chap with your successful music agency - I hope you'll apply some more time to the editing of articles here on Wikipedia.

Ulster Defence Regiment
If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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:
- editing articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
- participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors;
- linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam);
- and you must always:
- avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially neutral point of view, verifiability, and autobiography.
For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see Wikipedia:Business' FAQ. For more details about what constitutes a conflict of interest, please see Wikipedia:Conflict of Interest. Thank you. One Night In Hackney303 23:11, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
This applies both ways. The article must be seen to be neutral and that is my point.

Original research warning
Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, but we regretfully cannot accept original research. Original research also encompasses novel, unpublished syntheses of previously published material. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your information. Thank you. One Night In Hackney303 18:05, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of previously published material to our articles . Please cite a reliable source for all of your information. Thank you. As you did in this edit One Night In Hackney303 18:32, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
Please stop. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's no original research policy by adding your personal analysis or synthesis into articles, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. As you did yet again in this edit. One Night In Hackney303 18:51, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
Edit warring
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. One Night In Hackney303 18:48, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
Your recent edits
Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name 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! --SineBot (talk) 18:58, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
About that Ulster article
Hi GDD1000, I'd like to offer you some advice for your difficulties on the Ulster Defence Regiment page. First of all, Wikipedia does not allow original research in articles, including claims that go above and beyond the content of the cited sources. Second, if you find yourself in an editing dispute, you should not unilaterally post new edits in the article itself. Reverting those edits does not constitute vandalism, and users should not receive warnings from you to that effect. It is important to remember that you do not own the article, and other editors have as much a right to change your edits as you. When attempting to make a case for an article change on the corresponding talk page, do not make personal attacks on other editors, including accusations of partisanship. Comment on content, not the contributor, as they say. I hope that you all manage to calmly and fairly work out your differences on the article talk page, so that no blocks are needed in this case - for repeated insertion of original research, personal attacks, or violating the three revert rule. Thank you. ~Eliz81(C) 19:43, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
Thank you indeed for your comments Eliz81. As you may have (correctly) surmised, I am a new Wikipedia user and as such am now in a steep learning curve. Fortunately I seem to be slowly getting the grasp of the necessary etiquette and was able to draw in a third party editor (SilkTork) to assist in the rewriting of the article. I would be grateful for your further comments if you have any further assistance to offer.
