Conflict of interest in Wikipedia

edit

Hi Miyawaki kyoto. I work on conflict of interest issues here in Wikipedia. Your edits to date are somewhat promotional for ANU and SU . I'm giving you notice of our Conflict of Interest guideline and Terms of Use, and will have some comments and requests for you below.

  Hello, Miyawaki kyoto. 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 COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, please:

  • avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your circle, your organization, its competitors, projects or products;
  • instead propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
  • when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
  • avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
  • exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you.

Comments and requests

Wikipedia is a widely-used reference work and managing conflict of interest is essential for ensuring the integrity of Wikipedia and retaining the public's trust in it. As in academia, COI is managed here in two steps - disclosure and a form of peer review. Please note that there is no bar to being part of the Wikipedia community if you want to be involved in articles where you have a conflict of interest; there are just some things we ask you to do (and if you are paid, some things you need to do).

Disclosure is the most important, and first, step. While I am not asking you to disclose your identity (anonymity is strictly protecting by our WP:OUTING policy) would you please disclose if you have some connection with ANU or Shanghai Universities? You can answer how ever you wish (giving personally identifying information or not), but if there is a connection, please disclose it. After you respond (and you can just reply below), perhaps we can talk a bit about editing Wikipedia, to give you some more orientation to how this place works. Please reply here - I am watching this page. Thanks! Jytdog (talk) 23:37, 29 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

Please reply here. Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 13:40, 14 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
Sorry, I've just noticed this page's existence. I will disclose my COI as soon as possible.
Thanks for making this disclosure. You really shouldn't directly the edit the articles about your school; folks who do that tend to fall into what we call boosterism - please do read that essay. Jytdog (talk) 14:43, 14 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
Please what I wrote above - you should not be directly editing this article, per the WP:COI guideline - I am trying to be nice but you are really pushing it. Jytdog (talk) 08:39, 18 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

Edit war warning

edit
 

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Australian National University. 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.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

  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; 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.

If you keep pushing and pushing, I am going to have to raise at case at the Conflict of Interest Noticeboard. You are behaving badly here. Slow down. Jytdog (talk) 08:39, 18 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

Hi Jytdog, Have you reviewed my latest support material on ANU's talk page?

Warning level 2

edit

  Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Australian National University. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you.
