Welcome!

Hello, Kelseyboultbee, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, your edit to Brian Day does not conform to Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View policy (NPOV). Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media.

There's a page about the NPOV policy that has tips on how to effectively write about disparate points of view without compromising the NPOV status of the article as a whole. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, click here to ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. Below are a few other good links for newcomers:

Managing a conflict of interest

edit

  Hello, Kelseyboultbee. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the article Brian Day, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, please:

  • avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your circle, your organization, its competitors, projects or products;
  • instead propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
  • when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
  • avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or 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 familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. I see that you made changes to Brian Day on behalf of the article subject. Please be aware that this may constitute a conflict of interest. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 20:43, 13 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be engaged in an edit war with one or more editors according to your reverts at Brian Day. Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose editing privileges. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a loss of editing privileges. Thank you.

Brian Day

edit

I started a discussion at WP:BLPN over the changes made to Brian Day. It would be best if you contributed to that discussion instead of reverting. The problem is that the article has seen extensive edit warring and POV-pushing to reframe the debate. I don't know anything about Canadian healthcare, the controversies over Canadian healthcare, or Brian Day. I frankly don't care about any of this. However, I can recognize when one side of the debate tries to rewrite key portions of the article to make it sound like Day or his enemies are the "good guys" and the other side is the "bad guys". As you have said that you're making these changes on behalf of Day himself, and because they reframe the debate in terms favorable to Day, I reverted your changes. The best thing to do now, as I said, is to discuss it at WP:BLPN. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 22:02, 13 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
