Managing a conflict of interest

edit

  Hello, Freddy Milton Larsen. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the article Freddy Milton, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. Editing for the purpose of advertising or promotion is not permitted. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

  • avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
  • propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
  • disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
  • avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
  • do your best to comply with 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). Thank you. RickinBaltimore (talk) 15:17, 25 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.--VVikingTalkEdits 21:40, 25 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, but it appears you have written or added to an article about yourself, at Freddy Milton. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to an existing article about yourself, please propose the changes on its talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was my page deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss it with the deleting administrator. Thank you.

Your recent editing history at Freddy Milton 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 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.—J.

  You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Freddy Milton. 331dot (talk) 10:56, 26 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

Unblocked. --NeilN talk to me 16:45, 27 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
Great. I have told him what he now should and shouldn't be doing. !dave 16:58, 27 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
This was a big mistake by the admin. The user should have been blocked for edit warring and disruptive editing, not (primarily and solely) for username policy violation. The blocking admin completely ignored the 3RR report. The unblock was even more ridiculous. And of course the spammer continues edit warring under a new username, as always pretending he doesn't know what's going on, adding the same garbage to the article. It was blatantly obvious that the user is not here to build an encyclopedia and that the username problem is not the real problem here. Such errors really harm Wikipedia, cleaning up the mess is a waste of time for everyone. Wikipedia admins really should know better.—J. M. (talk) 14:13, 31 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
