Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Editing tutorial
• Picture tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Naming conventions
• Simplified Manual of Style

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

• Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
• Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
• Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
• No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
• If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
• Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
• Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Oliver Wyman edits

Hello, Pereneph. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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 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 WP:Spam);
• 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. TimTempleton ^{(talk) (cont)} 01:15, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

Hello and thanks for the heads up! Not affiliated, just a consulting enthusiast- I will likely contribute more to other T2 pages soon and have tried to create a balanced article for Oliver Wyman with citations + controversies as well as successes. Pereneph (talk) 08:56, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for confirming. I didn't know they were a T2 company - I thought that was only Canadian companies. On a related note, please add more edit summaries - I noticed you used them more often in your earlier edits, but sparingly since. It will help others see what you are doing. Happy editing.

Oliver Wyman history

I reverted your reversions to my edits on the Oliver Wyman article and related companies. The article is too long with too much information that predates Oliver Wyman, and is actually about other companies. I'm going to be cleaning it up over the next few weeks to make it more concise. Please disclose if you have a conflict of interest, per WP:COI. TimTempleton ^{(talk) (cont)} 16:52, 23 August 2020 (UTC)

@Timtempleton: Tim, you deleted most of Oliver Wyman's history section without even starting a discussion, and moved it to the page of an actual other company. Oliver Wyman has gone through a lot of name changes, but giving a new name to a unit doesn't make it a different unit. Harvard Business School has investigated this subject thoroughly and written that "In 2007, the individual consulting firms loosely held under the name Mercer Specialty Consulting came together more closely to form the $1.5 billion strategy consulting firm Oliver Wyman." Anyway, WP:TOOLONG clearly states that "Content, especially summary, well sourced and non-tangential information, should not be removed from articles simply to reduce length."

I'm not sure why you continue to accuse me of having a conflict of interest when I've (1) added more than 200 reliable, third-party sources to the Oliver Wyman page, (2) responded directly to you a few weeks ago clarifying that I do not, and (3) documented many of the company's controversies including the time they recommended the worst bank in Ireland, proposed displacing indigenous tribes in the Middle East, and worked with numerous government figures that consider their company to be a waste of money. I assure you that if I was affiliated with Oliver Wyman, their PR department probably wouldn't be very happy with me. I stopped working on the Oliver Wyman article after you accused me of this last time, and even abandoned the Marsh & McLennan article I was working on to avoid being perceived as a shill. You continued to follow me to the pages of other consulting firms when I tried to write something different and undid my work there.

I did a lot of research to write the page, and always sourced my claims. I would appreciate if you could engage in a discussion regarding the content of the articles rather than deleting everything because it's "too much information". I'm not going to be bullied off Wikipedia and if you continue to revert my edits, we should start dispute resolution. Pereneph (talk) 22:00, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
