March 2009

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page OneTaste has been reverted.

Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove unwanted links and spam from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. The external links I reverted were matching the following regex rule(s): \bwordpress\.com (links: http://genderbodyreligion.wordpress.com/2008/07/01/onetaste/).

If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 03:01, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Reinstate the mediation request, regarding user Rectitudo, clearly documented on Wikipedia making misrepresentations, directly false statements and continues repeatedly making disruptive edits in a particular article OneTaste continues vandalism of this article including repeatedly removing major publication reference links like The International Herald Tribune, The New York Times and continues repeatedly inserting links to the Morehouse organization and other extraneous unsupportable references (unsubstantiated personal opinions, letters to editors, etc). Apparently Rectitudo has a conflicted point of view bias both intent on vandalizing/distorting this article and using this article in promoting other entities. Reactivate mediation request and analysis of Rectitudo conduct regarding this article topic and any related articles. DeRectitudo (talk) 20:19, 17 May 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by DeRectitudo (talk • contribs)

Please note that I was the requestor of the original mediation request. As per DeRectitudos request, I have reopened it (correctly this time, as DeRectitudo seemed to have attempted to, but apparently isn't familiar enough with Wikipedia guidelines to do). The links to Lafayette Morehouse are all thoroughly and correctly documented as per Wikipedia guidelines. The links to Nicole Daedone's public bio on one of their promotional pages does directly state that she was indeed a member of Lafayette Morehouse. The bio was later revised to remove said references, so I linked to the older page revision via Archive.org

None of my existing edits contain original research, or even remotely qualify as vandalization, whereas your name alone would indicate that you're here solely for purposes of disruptive editing.

Closed the request. If DeRectitudo wants it open, they can read the rules and re-open it themselves. Rectitudo (talk) 01:00, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

mediation notification

A request for formal mediation of the dispute concerning Orgasmic_meditation has been filed with the Mediation Committee (MedCom). You have been named as a party in this request. Please review the request at Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Orgasmic_meditation and then indicate in the "Party agreement" section whether you would agree to participate in the mediation or not.

Mediation is a process where a group of editors in disagreement over matters of article content are guided through discussing the issues of the dispute (and towards developing a resolution) by an uninvolved editor experienced with handling disputes (the mediator). The process is voluntary and is designed for parties who disagree in good faith and who share a common desire to resolve their differences. Further information on the MedCom is at Wikipedia:Mediation Committee; the policy the Committee will work by whilst handling your dispute is at Wikipedia:Mediation Committee/Policy; further information on Wikipedia's policy on resolving disagreements is at Wikipedia:Resolving disputes.

If you would be willing to participate in the mediation of this dispute but wish for its scope to be adjusted then you may propose on the case talk page amendments or additions to the list of issues to be mediated. Any queries or concerns that you have may be directed to an active mediator of the Committee or by e-mailing the MedCom's private mailing list (click here for details).

Please indicate on the case page your agreement to participate in the mediation within seven days of the request's submission.

Thank you, Voila-pourquoi (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 04:29, 11 January 2010 (UTC).

Article Black War - roll back

I am sorry, recently I rolled back your edits in Black War thinking that you were blanking out good information. Only after I rolled back it became apparent you were actually removing duplicate information as you said in your edit summary. I apologize for the accident. -- Joel M. Chat ✐ 07:37, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

I have fixed the error and your edits are live. -- Joel M. Chat ✐ 07:39, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

Recent edit reversion

In this edit here, I reverted some information that appears to be a violation of our copyright policy.

I provided a brief summary of the problem in the edit summary, which should be visible just below my name. You can also click on the "view history" tab in the article to see the recent history of the article. This should be an edit with my name, and a parenthetical comment explaining why your edit was reverted. If that information is not sufficient to explain the situation, please ask.

I do occasionally make mistakes. We get hundreds of reports of potential copyright violations every week, and sometimes there are false positives, for a variety of reasons. (Perhaps the material was moved from another Wikipedia article, or the material was properly licensed but the license information was not obvious, or the material is in the public domain but I didn't realize it was public domain, and there can be other situations generating a report to our Copy Patrol tool that turn out not to be actual copyright violations.) If you think my edit was mistaken, please politely let me know and I will investigate. ~~~~ S Philbrick(Talk) 17:53, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

February 2024

Hello, I'm Skyerise. I wanted to let you know that one or more external links you added to OneTaste have been removed because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you. Skyerise (talk) 20:08, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to OneTaste. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. Skyerise (talk) 14:12, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

You cannot claim identity based on visual similarity. You also cannot add critical material not reported in a secondary source. Linking to the main page of a (in your opinion only) related site is considered spamming. Skyerise (talk) 14:10, 6 February 2024 (UTC)

Up until I mentioned it, "The Eros Platform" had "by OneTaste" incorporated into their logo. Rectitudo (talk) 00:56, 8 February 2024 (UTC)

It's also worth noting that they extensively use "Orgasmic Meditation" all over their page and Onetaste's CEO and head of sales feature prominently all over their material. Rectitudo (talk) 01:05, 8 February 2024 (UTC)

It's still there in some spots. Rectitudo (talk) 01:31, 8 February 2024 (UTC)

You have to have third-party reliable sources which have made the observation. Wikipedia does not allow original research (observations made by editors) to be added to articles. Skyerise (talk) 02:57, 8 February 2024 (UTC)

You seem a little confused as to what original research is. This is them admitting they're the same organization. Are you trying to tell me that isn't reliable? Rectitudo (talk) 00:50, 9 February 2024 (UTC)

Yes, we only accept written third-party sourcing. If you are making claims about yourself, yes, you are an unreliable source. You seem to be trying to use Wikipedia to promote a website. You can be blocked from editing for that. Skyerise (talk) 01:00, 9 February 2024 (UTC)

Uh, where are you going with this? What website am I allegedly promoting? Rectitudo (talk) 01:31, 9 February 2024 (UTC)

The problem is, anyone can say anything on their own website, there is no way to verify that it is true. We do not accept that as a reliable source. Some third party has to report it. If no third-party source has taken note of the fact, then it's not notable and we don't include it. Period. Skyerise (talk) 01:04, 9 February 2024 (UTC)

We? You got a mouse in your pocket? Rectitudo (talk) 04:33, 10 February 2024 (UTC)

Conflict of interest management

Hello, Rectitudo. 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, clients, or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} 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 Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
• 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. Skyerise (talk) 01:00, 9 February 2024 (UTC)

What's this about? Rectitudo (talk) 01:31, 9 February 2024 (UTC)

You are pretty clearly someone with insider knowledge who is trying to promote a the website of a "new" or "continuation" of a defunct business. I've reverted the article back to how it was in September as I believe you are working for the new website you are trying to promote. Skyerise (talk) 01:34, 9 February 2024 (UTC)

Decidedly not. Not that one of their members would answer this truthfully, but are you a member of Onetaste or one of their affiliates? Rectitudo (talk) 01:44, 9 February 2024 (UTC)

This talk page post spams the same link. You have no reliable sources to support your assertion that website has anything to do with the defunct company this article is about. You have to have reliable third party sources to establish identity. We do not accept original reseach from primary sources (the claimed new/affiliated website). Skyerise (talk) 01:49, 9 February 2024 (UTC)

I noticed you avoided the question, so I'm going to have to assume you're affiliated with them. Rectitudo (talk) 01:58, 9 February 2024 (UTC)

I'm not the one trying to add promotional links to your new business web pages. Skyerise (talk) 02:01, 9 February 2024 (UTC)

...and you're still avoiding answering the question. Please note the answer may be admissible in court.

As far as "spamming" the links I posted were direct responses to you saying I needed proof, now you're claiming that direct statements by the organization itself are spam. We're well past intelligent discourse, and I think it's time to ask for external opinions.

I bid you a good day. Rectitudo (talk) 02:15, 9 February 2024 (UTC)

Making legal threats? Why? Skyerise (talk) 03:37, 9 February 2024 (UTC)

Warning re legal threats

Your recent edits to User talk:Rectitudo could give Wikipedia contributors the impression that you may consider legal or other "off-wiki" action against them, or against Wikipedia itself. Please note that making such threats on Wikipedia is strictly prohibited under Wikipedia's policies on legal threats and civility. Users who make such threats may be blocked. If you have a dispute with the content of any page on Wikipedia, please follow the proper channels for dispute resolution. Please be sure to comment on content, not contributors, and where possible make specific suggestions for changes supported by reliable independent sources and focusing especially on verifiable errors of fact. Thank you. Diff: [1]. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 19:30, 9 February 2024 (UTC)

How was that a threat? I figured you might be either Nichole or Rachael. Nice alt, BTW. Rectitudo (talk) 00:57, 10 February 2024 (UTC)

You wrote "Please note the answer may be admissible in court.". If you do that—or anything else implying court action—again, you will be blocked from editing. I trust that is now sufficiently clear. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 12:10, 10 February 2024 (UTC)

Well, if the rabble rouser who has been targeting me (which has been pretty threatening, by the way) is actually affiliated with Nicole Daedone or Rachel Cherwitz, then I was simply a word of caution. Rectitudo (talk) 14:06, 10 February 2024 (UTC)

@Pigsonthewing:: doesn't look like this user gets it. He is still engaging in attempted outing and doesn't seem to consider his legal threat to be a problem. The response above shows that he expected and continues to expect that the threat will chill speech. Skyerise (talk) 19:35, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
