Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit you made to Michael Harner, did not appear constructive and have been undone. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use the sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Managing a conflict of interest[edit]
Hello, Loganscott. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article Michael Harner, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:
- avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
- instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
- when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
- avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
- exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.
In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).
Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. NeilN talk to me 17:50, 20 August 2016 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. NeilN talk to me 17:50, 20 August 2016 (UTC)
Your recent editing history at Michael Harner shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Please stop and discuss[edit]
You are replacing sourced content with unsourced content. This needs to stop. --NeilN talk to me 17:53, 20 August 2016 (UTC)

This is your only warning; if you use Wikipedia for soapboxing, promotion or advertising again, as you did at Michael Harner, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Per this edit and edit summary: "(Changes made by Michael Harner)" it looks like we've warned you before, under other accounts. This makes it highly probable you have already been warned, multiple times, about Wikipedia Conflict of Interest Policies as well as our policies that forbid Sockpuppeting and Meatpuppetting. I am going to check through the article history now, but if you are someone who has already been blocked via another account, blocks apply per person, not per account. If you are evading a block, this account, and any others you create to evade a block, will also be blocked. Either way, you need to stop editing the Michael Harner article, whether you are the subject of the article or editing on his behalf. - CorbieV ☊ ☼ 19:38, 20 August 2016 (UTC)
