From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Your recent additions to the Norman Lamb article violates Wikipedia's NPOV principle; that principle is listed below, in case you weren't aware of it.

Neutral point of view is a fundamental Wikipedia principle. According to Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales, NPOV is "absolute and non-negotiable."

All Wikipedia articles and other encyclopedic content must be written from a neutral point of view (NPOV), representing fairly and without bias all significant views (that have been published by reliable sources). For guidance on how to make an article conform to the neutral point of view, see the NPOV tutorial; For examples and explanations that illustrate key aspects of this policy, see Wikipedia:Neutral point of view/FAQ.

Please remember that Wikipedia is not a soapbox!

[edit] Norman Lamb

I have had to remove your additions to Norman Lamb's biography as they are not consistent with a neutral encyclopaedia article. Wikipedia is not a platform for campaigning. We can describe the campaigns of the parties in North Norfolk, but only in a way that does not appear to endorse any opinion. You can, if you want, register an account if you want to start a biographical article on Trevor Ivory. Any article would also have to be neutrally phrased. Please contact me if you can't understand why your additions were not appropriate. Sam Blacketer 18:24, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Please do not re-add your paragraphs about Norman Lamb. I have had another look at them and I think they violate Wikipedia policy on biographies of living people by including unsourced negative material about Norman Lamb. The Neutral point of view tutorial will give you guidance as to how you can parts of the material you are seeking to add neutral, and acceptable. I would prefer that you worked constructively on this; I don't want to see you being blocked for disruptive editing. Sam Blacketer 19:32, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Three revert rule

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Norman Lamb. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute 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 which gains a consensus among editors. Thank you.
