Using more than one Wikipedia account

edit

Hi AndyWillis. As set down in Wikipedia:Sock puppetry, Wikipedia has several restrictions on when editors may and may not register and use more than one account, at the same time or otherwise. You must abide by this policy. Please read it. Please remember that even if other accouns are operated by your associates or colleagues, rather than by you, Wikipedia may still treat them and you as the one person if you all work towards a common, disruptive purpose. If you have any questions, ask any experienced editor, or an administrator. I must warn you that if you and your associates do not obey Wikipedia's policies on editorial participation, you will be excluded by the project through our blocking system. It is unlikely we will suffer further violations by you of our policies, so please consider yourself warned. I encourage you again to read our sock-puppetry and other policies. Thank you.

  Hello, AndyWillis111. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Brookfield Asset Management, you may need to consider our guidance on conflicts of interest.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

  • Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
  • Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
  • Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
  • Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. Removing sourced material, especially by one who has such a clear conflict of interest, is frowned upon on Wikipedia. If you believe the material is not relevant, you should post a notice to the article's talk page, and allow editors that are not related to the matter evaluate the material for removal or retention, as appropriate.

Hello GergJackP. The Birch Mountain law suit is immaterial to Brookfield. In addition, the aclaim has been dismissed by the Ontario Court and the Ontario Court of Appeal. This iinformation is irrelevant and misleading. AndyWillis111

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates or other materials from Wikipedia, as you did at Brookfield Asset Management, you may be blocked from editing. Thank you. GregJackP Boomer! 00:08, 25 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hello GregJackP, As explained above, the Birch Mountain law suit is irrelevant & immaterial in an article on Brookfield Asset Management. The claim was dismissed by the Ontario courts. If you have a reason this material should be included, please share it with the community. The Birh Mountatin law suit is described in detail on the Hammerstone Project Wikipedia page.

Your recent editing history at Brookfield Asset Management shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in you 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.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

It's time to quote from WP:COI:
COI editing is routinely exposed and can be reported adversely in the media. All edits are on the public record and remain so indefinitely...While Wikipedians generally avoid naming editors and their paymasters, other media routinely do. This has led at times to extreme media embarrassment for the company or organization, dismissal (firing) of those at fault, and at times even court actions or charges, if done in a work or professional context.
Read WP:COI carefully and abide by it. Otherwise, like so many others who have ignored it, your efforts will likely backfire, to the cost of yourself and your employer. EEng (talk) 06:02, 25 September 2012 (UTC)Reply
