Contribution to Robert Bryce (writer) edit
I think that your contribution to this article was worded a bit strongly. A more neutral tone is especially needed in articles on living persons. Brianyoumans (talk) 02:21, 1 April 2017 (UTC)
It's a statement of fact. Nothing nasty is written, and the statement is supported by a link to the rebuttal document.
Managing a conflict of interest edit
Hello, Marcrauch. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Ethanol fuel [1] / Alcohol fuel [2], 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. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 06:40, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
My additions made in "Ethanol Fuel" and "Alcohol Fuel" were improperly edited out. I am an investigative journalist and co-publisher of TheAutoChannel.com, the Internet's oldest and largest automotive information resource. I clearly stated my position with TheAutoChannel.com. Neither me, nor TheAutoChannel.com, are involved with any ethanol producer or distributor. My work is all based on extensive research, personal hands-on experience, and is all backed with outside references. All of my comments should be restored immediately and the person who removed them should be censored.Marcrauch (talk) 07:26, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
- You are unduly promoting your own work. This is the textbook definition of a conflict of interest and a violation of our WP:NPOV policy. Do not reinstate references to your own work like you did without first gaining consensus this is appropriate on the talk page of these articles. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 07:28, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
@Headbomb: Excuse me for being a real life resource for information; information that has been vetted and presented in front of scientific and government audiences and entities.
I don't know what, if any, position you have with Wikipedia. But if you are in management or administration of Wikipedia, then I think you should reveal if Wikipedia has ever received any donations or financial contributions from any petroleum oil entity or any entity involved with the oil industry. This would include such organizations as those related to snack foods, the convenience store industry, any restaurant association, etc., as these organizations have repeatedly received funding from the oil industry.Marcrauch (talk) 08:12, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
- I have no special position, however, your edits are inappropriate. You were told why (WP:PROMO/WP:COI), you were told what your recourses were (gain consensus for the addition of that material on the talk page of those articles). If you re-instate references to your own work again without doing so, you may well end up being on the receiving end of a block. Consider yourself warned. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 08:49, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Headbomb {t · c · p · b} 13:18, 6 February 2020 (UTC)

Request reason:
I added content to the pages on ETHANOL FUEL and ALCOHOL FUEL. In addition to using links to outside citation resources, I used my recent book as a citation resource. All comments that I added were removed, including those that only cited other links and resources, not my book. The person who made a claim against me states that I am only advertising and promoting my book. This is untrue because it is a legitimate resource, and the claim is irrelevant because the book is available to be read online for FREE and without any registration or obligation. I am an investigative journalist and co-publisher of an automotive information resource. I am not paid by any entity to promote ethanol, nor am I paid by any entity to oppose the petroleum oil industry. The person making the claim against me states that I became combative. I didn't become combative, I attempted to follow the very arcane process of responding. I asked if the person had some association with Wikipedia. I did so in order to ascertain how and why my resource is being questioned. The person said he/she/it does not have any special relationship with Wikipedia, and so I said "back off." The comments I added to the pages mentioned above are accurate. If Wikipedia or anyone doesn't like the comments then they should provide contrary information, not remove my comments.

Decline reason:
Wikipedia is a collaborative project where you must work with other editors to achieve a consensus. Editors here are volunteers located around the world, and any interested editor may edit any page they wish at any time. No special position (such as working for the Foundation that operates the computers Wikipedia is on) is required. You have been editing in violation of the conflict of interest and possibly paid editing policies. It is a severe conflict of interest to add information about your own work to Wikipedia without discussion from other editors. You seem to be here to promote a pro-ethanol agenda by putting your own work in related articles. If that's why you are here, there are no grounds to lift the block, and I must decline your request. 331dot (talk) 22:30, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Request reason:
Your denial to unblock me was very telling because as I stated earlier responses, even the comments that I posted that did not refer to my book were removed. These comments were supported by citations that are not related to me. So if you and your cloacae consensus group are satisfied to only allow wrong information to exist on Wikipedia, that's okay with me. You and the others are nothing more than hacks who can't do anything other than play with yourselves and your silly little girl screen names. I'll remember this next year when Wikipedia does through its next begging for dollars campaign. Marcrauch (talk) 19:36, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

Yes, it is a rant, not an unblock request. You must have graduated from 2nd grade.Marcrauch (talk) 19:04, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you should read the guide to appealing blocks, then contact administrators by submitting a request to the Unblock Ticket Request System. If the block is a CheckUser or Oversight block, was made by the Arbitration Committee or to enforce an arbitration decision (arbitration enforcement), or is unsuitable for public discussion, you should appeal to the Arbitration Committee.
Please note that there could be appeals to the unblock ticket request system that have been declined leading to the post of this notice.
