Please do not delete or edit legitimate talk page comments, as you did at Talk:Bear Magazine. Your deletion of another editor's comments because you considered them to be POV makes no sense; the NPOV requirement applies to articles, not their talk pages, and editing someone else's comments on a talk page is considered vandalism. Thanks. Scheinwerfermann (talk) 21:36, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

The comments contained potentially libelous comments which was why I edited it. See WP:TALK#Others' comments Please note: I've been doing this for along time so don't feel I need the sandbox, but thanks for offering (yes, I know it is a template) :-) Fr33kman^{talk APW} 21:50, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

I can see what you were probably reacting to, but the remarks you edited really don't rise (or sink) to the level of libel, in that they don't mention anyone in particular. It would be very difficult to classify as actionable defamation this sort of general grumbling about a generic group of disgruntled previous employees or whatever, and the comments you deleted are significant to the discussion. I have restored them. I know you don't need the sandbox, that's why I modified the template shortly after posting. Thanks for understanding. —Scheinwerfermann (talk) 22:46, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

I agree it was grey. My thought was "... the previous publisher ..." lead to someone who could be identified. I have no problems with the restore however :-) Fr33kman^{talk APW} 22:48, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Your message to me concerning a possible conflict of interest with me editing Bear Magazine is a good point to raise. I realize that my input to the article can certainly be viewed as biased with even an intent to advertise. For this reason I'm very glad that you and others take an interest in editing the article as well, to keep everybody who touches it in-check. I'm happy to add information that I think is relevant and keeps it up-to-date, though attempting to be as objective as possible, without making the basic facts suffer. Thank you for your involvement.

Hiya! I really do believe that you were only good intentioned. Think also about how it might make others perceive your employer. Anyway, that's history. If you're going to stick around you may want to consider broadening your interests into other subject areas and other articles and you'll soon find that your community trust level will rise very quickly. If you're really interested in getting into editing Wikipedia, you should probably first check the manual of style (which has sections for subject areas),then the key rules , and finally this category which will teach you all the tricks of wikitext. :-) Take care and keep editing!
