You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on List of computer algebra systems. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. 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.

Points to note:

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 and 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. DMacks (talk) 14:43, 18 July 2021 (UTC)

Conflict of interest

Hello Drhuang8. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Drhuang8. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Drhuang8|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message.

I will also comment that your username appears to be in possible violation of the username policy. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 15:54, 18 July 2021 (UTC)

There's no advertising on the site, and uBlock Origin doesn't report, remove or block a thing. How and why exactly do you imagine Drhuang8 is being paid? I agree that there's probably a conflict of interest here, but there's no evidence at all of WP:PAID. Please explain. (And don't bite.) Yappy2bhere (talk) 19:40, 18 July 2021 (UTC)

@Yally2bhere: Ok, I didn't check the site for advertising. I used the paid template because of the level of promotionalism (the link to the site has gone also into other articles). I do try not to WP:BITE, and retract the likelihood of paid portion. Drhuang8, the advice in WP:COI is still extremely relevant. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 20:21, 18 July 2021 (UTC)

In other words, you made a much more serious allegation than necessary without any evidence except a feeling that it must be so. Feels aren't facts. Reverting the original unfounded allegation and replacing it with a more measured, factual response would be appropriate. Yappy2bhere (talk) 21:31, 18 July 2021 (UTC)

Which other articles was the site added to? Yappy2bhere (talk) 21:34, 18 July 2021 (UTC)

Fractional calculus, Differential equation, List of computer algebra systems are the three I found easily among the recent additions. This account could easily have been blocked for spam/coi/username already. I suspect it's first-party not third-party. DMacks (talk) 22:13, 18 July 2021 (UTC)

omg, there is a fractional calculus! I thought it was a translation artifact. Thanks. Yappy2bhere (talk) 22:39, 18 July 2021 (UTC)

I had the same question as "How and why exactly do you imagine Drhuang8 is being paid?". what evidence do you had? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Drhuang8 (talk • contribs) 22:49, 18 July 2021 (UTC)

This account "Drhuang8" has existed for 7 years, and essentially every edit it has made involves a company/website with the name "Drhuang". So by name and action, you clearly are here to represent that company. And you are doing so against both our terms of service and various article content standards. I have to say, as a WP admin, I really don't care very much whether you are literally Dr. Huang themself, or a direct employee of that site, or a summer intern, or a freelance SEO, or an employee of a third-party advertising company.
