You are suspected of sock puppetry, which means that someone suspects you of using multiple Wikipedia accounts for prohibited purposes. Please make yourself familiar with the notes for the suspect, then, if you wish to do so, respond to the evidence at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/NSWFire. Thank you.

Hello, 203.174.137.222. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article United Firefighters Union of Australia, 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 which forms all or part of work 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.

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Meters (talk) 04:38, 7 September 2017 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at United Firefighters Union of Australia, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Your cited source did not support the claim. In fact, it said nothign at all about the reasons for the split. You might want to read WP:SYNTH Meters (talk) 23:26, 26 November 2017 (UTC)

You were previously identified as a sock of User:Firey Mcfireface active in the dispute on United Firefighters Union of Australia. That user is indeff'ed and so you are not allowed to edit at all, under any username or using any IP.. Meters (talk) 23:38, 26 November 2017 (UTC)

What a load of cobblers. Good to see that you're unchanged and not reading the text. The source did support the split, as it contained copies of documents between the parties in which they described the issues themselves. If that's not a source, I don't know what is. Letters are contained in the same document at the end to support the tribunals decision. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.174.137.222 (talk • contribs) 02:05, November 27, 2017 (UTC)

Oh, and for the sock puppet shit - I work for a large organisation, and have no idea who else is using this IP. I refuse to log in, and it is not required. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.174.137.222 (talk • contribs) 02:06, November 27, 2017 (UTC)

I did read the source. That's why I removed it and pointed you to WP:SYNTH. Did you read the link? Your source says nothing at all about a concern over representation being one of the issues that lead to the union split. It simply says that one branch of the union proposed a change its rules, the change was not properly disputed at the time, and thus the change was accepted by the Fair Work Commission. Any claim that a subsequent split of the union was because of this issue is not supported by the source. If you want to claim that a concern over representation was one of the causes of the split then you need an independent reliable source that says so.

As for the socking. Maybe you are a different person, but your IP was previously linked to a socking SPA on this article, and your IP is an SPA on this article. If this goes to SPI it's very likely your IP will be blocked. Meters (talk) 18:18, 27 November 2017 (UTC)

OK, so is this http://www.smh.com.au//breaking-news-national/firefighters-resign-from-union-20100809-11qrp.html an acceptable source? Your constant threats of blocking and goal post moving are just silly. 203.174.137.222 (talk) 03:01, 29 November 2017 (UTC)

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to United Firefighters Union of Australia. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Restoring the same version, with the same inadequate refs, which has already been discussed on the talk page is not a good idea. Meters (talk) 05:16, 15 March 2018 (UTC)

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.
