If the article is to survive the AfD, then the above should be worked into it. Schwede 66 20:16, 28 October 2012 (UTC)
Kia ora.
There seems to be a risk of an edit war occurring here. Not my intention at all. The edits I did were not simply to take out the stuff that seems overly complimentary (and hardly appropriate for an encyclopedia), but also to condense the article into a more succinct one. The length and detail previously was not commensurate to this politician's public importance (or lack thereof). He likes some science fiction book? I hardly think that is sufficiently noteworthy or relevant to attract comment in this article. The edits I did were designed to improve the article, not vandalize it. If the edits were too strong, I will of course accept the reinstatement of the content, but I nevertheless think work needs to be done in streamlining the article. Happy to help with that if that is the consensus. Do not appreciate accusations of vandalism for a bone fide edit. Nga mihi Cbe46 ( talk • contribs) 01:18, 23 October 2020 (UTC)
Hi Lee - I noticed your editing of the article - if you are Lee Vandervis you need to declare a conflict of interest in accodance with Wiki guidlines Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. Requests for updates to an article about yourself or someone with whom you have a personal connection can be made on the article's talk page by following the instructions at WP:COIREQ.
An exception to editing an article about yourself or someone you know is made if the article contains defamation or a serious error that needs to be corrected quickly. If you do make such an edit, please follow it up with an email to WP:VRT, Wikipedia's volunteer response team, or ask for help on WP:BLPN, our noticeboard for articles about living persons, or the talk page of the article in question.
Hopefully this is helpful for you. In the interim your edits are being reversed. NealeWellington ( talk) 10:46, 26 April 2022 (UTC)
Comment for User:Dudley Benson - please read the above explanation about potential conflicts of interest. If you need assistance please follow the guidelines above. A point to note - You Tube is not considered a reliable source and, as used, it is probably a primary source so may not qualify on both grounds. I would suspect you may find something in the ODT that would cover the point raised. NealeWellington ( talk) 04:16, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
I am concerned that an Otago Daily Times and Newshub articles claim that Lee Vandervis was caught editing his own Wiki page. As the reverter of the edits all that can be stated is that someone who called themself Lee Vabdervis edited the page. Neither I nor any editor can claim to know who that person was. I have removed the paragraph quoting the newspaper article as the article is based on assumption and not proof. NealeWellington ( talk) 08:11, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
He has also admitted to editing his own Wikipedia page on his Facebook page. The edit was factual and should be reinstated surely? I luv lee ( talk) 22:42, 30 April 2022 (UTC)
@pokelova I have absolutely zero connection to the councillor, do not know him personally or professionally either and was merely trying to correct a mistake. I tried about 15 different user names and they were either taken or too close to another’s so jokingly tried that one and of course that turned out to be available. Go figure!
