Dear User of accounts 98.225.175.227, Phil marcella, and 108.2.200.127:
I write specifically to seek your explanation for the section blanking edits made to Malta Boat Club at 15:35, 23 May 2010 (see bulleted summary of edits -- "Problematic pattern of edits" below).
I added the see also section with the link to Mark Gerban to the Malta Boat Club article because, as I noted in my edit summary, it is "useful for readers seeking to read as much about a topic [Malta Boat Club] as possible, including subjects only peripherally related." See WP:ALSO. Unless I hear otherwise, I am going to revert your edit.
Most importantly, I also write to express concern, and alert you, that you appear to be infringing on several Wikipedia policies – I assume unintentionally.
I have enumerated some those polices below, but I will summarize them in layman’s terms by saying this:
As your edits (bulleted below) reveal, you are attempting to edit content about an alleged controversy between Malta Boat Club and Mark Gerban. Given that the majority of your edits are limited to this very narrow issue, it appears you may have a bias and that your edits violate the conflict of interest policy.
Aside from any personal connection to the subject of these articles you might have, the manner in which you have been editing these subjects violates other policies against: (1) deleting the same content without explanation ( edit warring), (2) making edits from different accounts ( sock puppetry), (3) making non-neutral edits assessing Mark Gerban’s rowing ability, and (4) let me emphasize that it is prohibited to make edits to advance or defend the interest of an organization like Malta Boat Club.
As this long note proves, I am willing to take the time to help you sort out any issues with the Mark Gerban article if that is where your underlying concern is, but those content concerns must be discussed, rather than repeatedly edited unilaterally. Also, while your privacy is paramount, you should disclose that you have a connection with the subject of the article if you are participating in shaping its content, even on the talk pages.
Note: this was cross-posted on the following talk pages: Talk:Malta Boat Club, Talk:Mark Gerban , User talk:98.225.175.227, User talk:Phil marcella, and User talk:108.2.200.127
Thanks,

Hi all! If you have any more to contribute to the Schuylkill Navy page, I'm making some big edits for a Cornell University class project! I think more info on Malta under current members could be great! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jyp25 ( talk • contribs) 11:56, 10 October 2013 (UTC)
