Conflict of interest and edit warring at Linear programming edit

  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. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

  1. editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
  2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
  3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

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.


Since you and the 135.* IP editors who have been active at Linear programming are probably the same person, your activities there may be violating our policy on WP:Edit warring. You need to find support from other editors for new material you want to add to the article, particularly when you appear to be promoting your own work. If you try to enforce your point of view by reverting, you may be blocked from editing here. I note the edit summary of this edit: (01:09 on 1 January, 2010)

Warning: Editing war: References to Bruni, Jalaluddin and Nguyen are repeatedly removed and WILL repeatedly be put back in again

Since nobody but you supports including this material, you are the one who is edit warring, and you are the one likely to be blocked. EdJohnston (talk) 00:25, 5 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

From Jalaluddin Abdullah: Surely it takes two at least for a war, so what are the motives of the other party? Surely three Ph.D's and a book are sufficient (and I haven't found any serious mistakes in any of them, including my own Ph.D. and book). As for "unpublished", at law I think twenty (20) copies in the public domain constitutes publication and I dare say there are considerably more than twenty copies of the (which happens to be my) book on computers; as for "published" work in the area, it is in my opinion quite turgid (I mean Cline and Pyle) which is why I did not refer to it. As for COI, I suggest you ask yourself if the person who keeps removing my addition has a problem and maybe even a conflict of interest - perhaps that person should be blocked. And how do you know that "nobody but you supports including this material"? Wikipedia is not supposed to contain unsubstantiated statements.

From Jalaluddin Abdullah: And if you continue with your biassed approach I will report you to the senior editors. Thank you.

Suggest Article on generalized inverses and optimization edit

Dear editor, would you be willing to include the material you have added to the Linear Programming article (with more on Cline, etc.)to a subsection on "Generalized Inverses in Linear Optimization" in an article on Moore-Penrose inverses, or perhaps to a self-standing article (of more specialty interest)? Thanks, Kiefer.Wolfowitz (talk) 00:34, 7 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

WP:COI editing. You have tried repeatedly, both with your account and with IPs, to add mention of your own work to the Linear programming article, without getting any support for your edits on the Talk page. You've restored your self-promotional changes to the article after others have removed them. Previous warnings to you can still be seen at the top of this page.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Orig invar fixedpt probs.pdf edit

 

A tag has been placed on File:Orig invar fixedpt probs.pdf requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F10 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a file that is not an image, sound file or video clip (e.g. a Word document or PDF file) that has no encyclopedic use.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
