Our conflict of interest policy

edit

  Hello, D Pastor2014. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

  • Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
  • Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
  • Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies. Note that Wikipedia's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 23:15, 10 February 2015 (UTC)Reply

Your user name

edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "D Pastor2014", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because Given your claim that you are not Darin Pastor, then you need to change your user name per policy of impersonating a living person.. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 23:37, 10 February 2015 (UTC)Reply

We are writing an encyclopedia

We are writing an encyclopedia. Content for the encyclopedia must follow basic content policies such as

-- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 23:44, 10 February 2015 (UTC)Reply

What sources used are not reliable? What is not neutral? Do you think the person(s) who wrote this are lying? Please cite what specific items in the article are not fact, or cannot be substantiated by outside reliable sources. Are these the same standards you apply to biographies of business people? What parts of Warren Buffett's page could be considered "self-promotional hoo ha"? Is that a technical term? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Trigger449 (talkcontribs) 23:51, 10 February 2015 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I'm Hey man im josh. I noticed that in this edit to Darin Pastor, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. 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. Hey man im josh (talk) 15:47, 21 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

  Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to Darin Pastor. Your edits appear to be 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.

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia without adequate explanation, as you did at Darin Pastor, you may be blocked from editing. Uhai (talk · contribs) 23:13, 21 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

  You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you remove or blank page content or templates from Wikipedia without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary, as you did at Darin Pastor. Uhai (talk · contribs) 23:31, 21 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

Your username

edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "D Pastor2014", may not comply with our username policy. Please note that you may not use a username that represents the name of a company, group, organization, product, service, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Foobar Museum of Art". However, you are permitted to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you individually (not your role), such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87", but not "SEO Manager at XYZ Company".

Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, service, or website, regardless of your username. Please also read our paid editing policy and our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please request a change of username by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, choosing a username that complies with our username policy. Alternatively, you can just create a new account and use that for editing. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you.

Managing a conflict of interest

edit

  Hello, D Pastor2014. 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:

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. Tymon.r Do you have any questions? 18:49, 21 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
