Hello, I'm Mdann52. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions to Bulletproof vest because it appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

Dear Mdann52.

Thank you for your message. The Microflex material from Teijin is a material used by a lot of body armor manufacturers and this information is missing the page. I have no intention advertising any material in particular but as an editor for BodyArmorNews.com I think that an external link to this website is very reasonable.

However it seems that you have a 'double' agenda allowing commercial links to websites of body armor manufacturing companies such as SafeGuard and Jack Ellis.

Looking forward to your response.

Friendly greetings,

I don't see why ou are accusing me of having a double agenda. I removed this purely because the link addition didn't conform to WP:EL. I picked this up from Special:Recent changes - I have no edit history to this page to the best of my knowledge. I have not yet checked the rest of the links - that is something I may consider doing when I have time at your recommendation. Mdann52 (talk) 12:20, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I accused you of having a double agenda as the link and contribution I made did conform to WP:EL but other links and contributions to this do not seem to conform to WP:EL. This page is outdated and as an editor for the independent website BodyArmorNews.com I wanted to update things a bit and add an external link to our website as our website is very related to this subject.

Looking forward to your response.

Friendly greetings,

Scott Burton
