[edit] DirectBuy edits

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did to DirectBuy. Your edits appeared to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. NawlinWiki (talk) 20:27, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

• You just did contact me. The above warning is for editing DirectBuy in a biased fashion, adding a plethora of laudatory language and discounting criticisms of the company in violation of WP:NPOV, even going so far as to alter the title of one of the sources (the Consumer Reports article). Again, please read WP:NPOV and WP:SPAM. NawlinWiki (talk) 22:38, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome!

Welcome to Wikipedia. Please refer to the getting started and help information above. User:NawlinWiki is correct that when you make a change to the article, you cannot change factual information such as the title or quote from the Consumer Reports article. It is not our role to judge whether something Consumer Reports says is biased. Please take a look at the conflict of interest policy if you want to continue to edit the DirectBuy article and you are a DirectBuy employee (if so, suggest your changes on the talkpage of the article) and also neutral point of view, reliable sources, and verifiability policies which make up the core rules for how information is added and removed from articles. Please don't hesitate to come to my talkpage if you have any questions. regards, --guyzero | talk 19:00, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
