1. Please do not delete content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to P.E.O. Sisterhood, without explaining the valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Reasons you have given (e.g., "false information", "not verified by organization") are not valid reasons for removing sourced content from Wikipedia. --134.134.136.2 (talk) 21:38, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
2. Please stop. If you continue to blank out or delete portions of page content, templates or other materials from Wikipedia, as you did to P.E.O. Sisterhood, you will be blocked from editing. --64.134.160.93 (talk) 05:50, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is true of any organization, company, individual or other entity documented on Wikipedia. Before you edit the article again, please review the following Wikipedia policies:

• Wikipedia:Neutral point of view
• Wikipedia:Verifiability
• Wikipedia:Reliable sources

These are just some of the editorial policies of the encyclopedia, but they're among the most pertinent to the objections you're raising. If you have concerns about information from a source that's cited in the article, please raise those concerns on the article's talk page. Thank you. Dppowell (talk) 19:09, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. In writing this, I'm proceeding from the assumption that you are in communication with the various other editors who have removed sourced content from the P.E.O. Sisterhood article. I'm copying this message to all the editors who've recently attempted to censor the references to the meaning of the group's name.

I can tell you with a fair amount of confidence that if there is a campaign, formal or informal, to keep information out of the article simply because P.E.O. (or anyone else) doesn't want it there, it will fail. As attempts to subvert Wikipedia process and dictate the content of the article grow more insistent, they will draw greater attention from the Wikipedia community (the attention they've received so far is relatively minor). The number of editors patrolling the article for unexplained deletions will increase, and the deletions will be ever more short-lived. More often than not, the deletions will be corrected within minutes, if not seconds (as they were this time).

We welcome all editors who come to Wikipedia in good faith to help build the encyclopedia. Please consider becoming part of our community and working within our principles to improve the P.E.O. Sisterhood article. Dppowell (talk) 05:17, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
