  Hello, I'm JimRenge. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Nichiren Shōshū, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It will be removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

  Please do not add or change content, as you did at Gohonzon, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. JimRenge (talk) 06:36, 2 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

"Articles should be based on reliable, third-party, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy. This means that we publish the opinions only of reliable authors, and not the opinions of Wikipedians who have read and interpreted primary source material for themselves." (WP:RS) Please see WP:VERIFY, WP:BURDEN], and WP:OR for more information. Our role as editors is generally limited to summarizing what reliably published secondary sources write about the topic. Thank you JimRenge (talk) 07:11, 2 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not add unsourced or original content, as you did with this edit to Dai Gohonzon. Doing so violates Wikipedia's verifiability policy. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Jim1138 (talk) 09:55, 5 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

Hello, Tokuburai. You have new messages at BrandenburgG's talk page.
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

@Tokuburai, you may be a new editor and you may be unfamiliar with WP protocol. If you will note, at the top left hand corner of an article there are two tabs. The first is for the article itself and the second, "Talk," is where we editors try to resolve disputes. Most differing POVs are resolved through the Talk Page protocol. Quite illuminating conversations take place and WP protocols are discussed to create neutral articles that properly represent differing POVs.

I want to invite you to participate on the Gohonzon article Talk Page. I have started two different categories on the Talk page to resolve our differing perspectives. I have also sent you messages through @Tokuburai which you should have received.

We are both fellow editors and, I am sure, neither one of us has the time/interest to participate in editing wars. We should work together openly to explore compromises. BrandenburgG (talk) 10:45, 29 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

Conflict of interest

edit

Hello @Tokubarai, it appears you are closely associated with the Nichiren Shoshu organization, and that you are perhaps a paid employee of the Nichiren Shoshu temple. All of the hundreds of edits you've made on Wikipedia across multiple subjects are related to Nichiren Shoshu, and appear to be aimed at propaganda for the Nichiren Shoshu organization. Please see WP:SPA regarding single purpose accounts. You also seem to have a strong conflict of interest WP:COI as well as a close relationship with the subject WP:EXTERNALREL and perhaps are being paid by the subject WP:PAY. Please review those pages, as editors with these conflicts are discouraged (and often banned) on Wikipedia.

Photos you posted as your "own creation" are photographed from a vantage points within the Nichiren Shoshu head temple that no one but employees could access (such as the balcony behind/above where the high priest sits) during a formal ceremony. You also regularly make edits from the stance of the Nichiren Shoshu priesthood but you have not included any third-party or neutral sources for those edits. Please also see WP: NPOV regarding the importance of a neutral viewpoint, and please explain your relationship with the Nichiren Shoshu organization. Haroli43 (talk) 16:25, 4 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

Edit summary

  Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. Thanks! JimRenge (talk) 10:55, 17 July 2016 (UTC)Reply
