  Hello, I'm FormalDude. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on A. J. Hawk, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! ––FormalDude (talk) 21:09, 17 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

Your recent editing history at Mike Johnson (Louisiana politician) shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. 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; read about 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 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 do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Contentious topics alert for recent American politics

Introduction to contentious topics

edit

You have recently edited a page related to post-1992 politics of the United States and closely related people, a topic designated as contentious. This standard message is designed as an 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.

Hello,
I am making this page at the request of the Oregon Extension itself. This is my first time making a page, please allow me some time to continue editing it and bring it to compliance. LeonDias19 (talk) 00:19, 14 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
That is a clear conflict of interest. Please read the page I have just linked very, very carefully, and I would advise you to refrain from editing it directly. Fermiboson (talk) 00:52, 14 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
I assure you that my loose connection to the program presents no COI. But if it makes you more comfortable, I will clearly add the suggested disclosures. LeonDias19 (talk) 02:51, 14 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
Any connection presents a COI. And seeing as they have specifically asked you to write the article, that is unquestionably a severe COI (as they will have some degree of influence over the things you write). That isn't a death sentence or moral indictment; COI editing can be done in a constructive manner, but it is hard and requires extensive familiarity with Wikipedia guidelines. I would suggest you do a bit of reading in project space first before making any additional edits, in particular our notability guidelines, general notability standard (which consists of at least two independent, reliable, secondary sources with significant coverage. (In layman's language, you can't use someone's blog or the organisation website as a source for notability purposes, though it can be used to cite uncontroversial statements of fact when notability is established; you have to use something like a local newspaper, which dedicates a signficant portion of its report to the organisation and isn't interviewing anyone from the park, etc.) You may also wish to note (and tell the organisation) that neither you nor the organisation will be able to control the content of the article, which may lead to content detrimental to the organisation being added if deemed necessary. Thank you very much for complying with the COI disclosure guidelines. Fermiboson (talk) 09:07, 14 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
