User talk:DolanIsNothingSpecial

August 2024

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Marilyn Petitto Devaney. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. 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.

Points to note:

Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
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 and 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. AntiDionysius (talk) 22:33, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, DolanIsNothingSpecial. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Marilyn Petitto Devaney, 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 article subjects 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)—don't forget to give details of reliable sources supporting your suggestions;
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, publicizing, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. AntiDionysius (talk) 22:33, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not trying to be difficult. The person(s) who put this information out initially is putting inaccurate, unsourced, and outdated information. I'm new to this and not trying to engage in an edit war...but if you look at what this person is writing you can see that it is meant to trash someone. People have a right to know the truth. I don't see how I can provide any information without being accused of engaging in a war. Let me know how to fix things without violating rules. I don't have any conflict of interest. Did you ask the person who initially put up this crap if they have a conflict of interest? DolanIsNothingSpecial (talk) 22:49, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you read the conflict of interest guideline, it explains how to request edits on a page with which you have a conflict of interest. AntiDionysius (talk) 22:51, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why are you not allowing me to ADD CONTENT, all properly sourced? DolanIsNothingSpecial (talk) 22:51, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have the power to allow or disallow you to do anything. I am, however, informing you of the rules around conflicts of interest and edit warring. AntiDionysius (talk) 22:52, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
