Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, NoreenClark. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Robert Kaleski, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

• avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
• disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
• avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam#External link spamming);
• do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. M.Bitton (talk) 21:26, 25 June 2023 (UTC)

Point taken and thank you. I don't think citing "pers. comm." infringes. It is common use when information is received from a non-published source. NoreenClark (talk) 22:05, 25 June 2023 (UTC)

Is Nrc999 your account? M.Bitton (talk) 09:58, 26 June 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for reviewing my contributions. To the best of my knowledge, no COI nor copyright infringements. The same applies to my books, "A Dog Called Blue" and "A Dog for the Job". Both are cited as source material, of course, but not with intent to advertise. Concerning the Kaleski article, in particular: I interviewed the late Peter Kaleski, in person and cite his recollections (from his own father) about Roberts's academic record. I have corresponded, by email, with Dr John Warden, whose wife is a Kaleski, on the matter of Robert's decline in mental health. Dr John is the Family historian. There can be no COI regarding these issues. NoreenClark (talk) 00:49, 27 June 2023 (UTC)

Notice of Conflict of interest noticeboard discussion

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard regarding a possible conflict of interest incident with which you may be involved. Thank you. - FlightTime (open channel) 01:14, 27 June 2023 (UTC)

I have already to other mails (M.Bitton) on this subject. I am aware of the possible problems but do not think I have infringed Wiki guide lines and policy. Is there other action I should take? NoreenClark (talk) 06:40, 27 June 2023 (UTC)

June 2023

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Australian Cattle Dog. 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. M.Bitton (talk) 09:49, 27 June 2023 (UTC)

This is not an edit war. It is updating and correcting material published 20 years ago. Although I think I may know who prepared the original articles, I don't know for sure. If you want to bring that person into the argument, I am happy to discuss. NoreenClark (talk) 09:56, 27 June 2023 (UTC)

"Repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree" is the definition of an edit war. Besides, given your conflict of interest, you're not even supposed to edit the article. Please read my initial comment on your talk page and feel free to comment on Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest/Noticeboard#Australian_Cattle_Dog. M.Bitton (talk) 10:02, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
