Welcome!
editHello, Belladonna2024, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.
I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Elisa Hategan, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.
To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.
One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)
In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, visit the Teahouse, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Again, welcome!

Hi Belladonna2024! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of Elisa Hategan several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.
All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages to try to reach consensus. If you are unable to agree at Talk:Elisa Hategan, please use one of the dispute resolution options to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war. Thank you. SparklingBlueMoon (talk) 23:36, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
Please do not delete or alter legitimate talk page comments from other editors. Such edits are disruptive, and may appear to other editors to be vandalism. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. Thank you. Frost 17:09, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
Edit War on Elisa Hategan
editHello, I noticed an edit war involving you and another user, please discuss on the Talk:Elisa Hategan page to find a consensus, please do not edit the disputed information before reaching a consensus because the fact of canceling and re-uploading the same information creates a disruptive behavior. The consensus must be based on one or more reliable and independent sources, also respect the other users regardless of whether they agree with you or not. Thank you SparklingBlueMoon (talk) 23:42, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for this message, I understand and appreciate your advice. The problem we're having is repeated deletions of sourced material and links to highly-credible and reliable news sources. I engaged in discussions with one new user (who appeared to create his account just to remove material from this page) about this, only to see it happen again and again today. I will try once again to engage in seeking consensus, but it's proven very difficult when others are determined to delete reliable sources for no reason other than their belief that it is "irrelevant" content. Will try again to seek consensus. Belladonna2024 (talk) 23:47, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
- The discussion also serves to involve other users, sometimes more experienced and outside the conflict, which is essential for a neutral point of view. I don't currently have time to check all the modifications concerning this conflict. I will try to see this in the next few days to give my opinion.

Introduction to contentious topics
edit
You have recently edited a page related to articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.
A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.
Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:
- adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
- comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
- follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
- comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
- refrain from gaming the system.
Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

Belladonna2024 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
I was partially blocked from editing this page because one particular user "TrashPandaMan" has repeatedly deleted sourced material and vandalized this page for a couple of weeks now. His latest revision was to accuse Hategan of "doxxing" people named in a lawsuit and affidavits. TrashPandaMan's revision, as it stands now, is erroneous in that he claims that names included in affidavits/legal documents are "doxxing". This is untrue, and Hategan has NEVER been found to have doxxed anyone in any court of law. This edit was allowed to stand despite no sources being added to substantiate what is an overt falsehood seemingly made in bad faith.
Decline reason:
Both of you are blocked from that page for edit warring, not the contents of your edits. --jpgordon𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇 01:57, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
