Managing a conflict of interest

edit

  Hello, Fullamb. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article Roanoke Colony, 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 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. Thank you. ScrpIronIV 19:35, 15 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I'm ScrapIronIV. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Roanoke Colony have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

  Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to Roanoke Colony. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism can result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Serols (talk) 19:46, 15 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to Roanoke Colony, you may be blocked from editing. Serols (talk) 20:05, 15 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

  You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Roanoke Colony. * Please stop promoting your own work. If it is notable, a disinterested third party will add it. ScrpIronIV 20:23, 15 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

 

Your recent editing history at Roanoke Colony 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.

  This is your only warning; if you use Wikipedia for soapboxing, promotion or advertising again, as you did at Simon Fernandez, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. ScrpIronIV 19:01, 16 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

 
You have been blocked from editing for a period of 31 hours for adding spam links. Persistent spammers will have their websites blacklisted from Wikipedia and potentially penalized by search engines. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may request an unblock by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Amortias (T)(C) 11:22, 18 March 2017 (UTC)Reply
