Update

Image:PiratePartiesMap4.svg is out of date, the German party won .3% and should be coloured dark blue —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.8.1.124 (talk) 00:34, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Right. I thought about this as I came home from Berlin and then promptly forgot about it. Thanks for the reminder. -Falkvinge (talk) 14:06, 16 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

WP:COI

Please see WP:COIDECLARE. In the meantime, I have blocked you from editing your own biography and the article on the Pirate Party. Drmies (talk) 00:57, 4 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This is fair but probably unnecessary -- I am aware of the conflict-of-interest rules on Wikipedia and I'm only editing where clear exceptions to the CoI apply, such as correcting obviously and verifiably wrong objective facts, as per the Wikipedia policy on living people. - Falkvinge (talk) 12:09, 31 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Update: I checked to be sure, and there was only one self-edit to my own article, and it was very clearly marked as such with a reference to the CoI and its exception: "16:33, 14 February 2017‎ Falkvinge talk contribs‎ 22,587 bytes −10‎ **SELF-EDIT** My legal name was changed to match my informal name; now just Rick and not Rickard. Edited in accordance with policy for correcting factual errors in own article." - Falkvinge (talk) 12:13, 31 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
While you're at it, I live in Berlin since 2017 (as opposed to Sollentuna north of Stockholm, as the article states), but I have not found verifiable and reputable sources writing this. There have been some paper prints but they're hard to verify by nature. -- Falkvinge (talk) 12:17, 31 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Further, I did not find ***any*** edits from my account to the Pirate Party page. So in summary, there was one single edit which was clearly in accordance with policies, one that was also clearly marked as a self-edit. This leads me to wonder, what was the reason for these blocks in the first place? -- Falkvinge (talk) 12:20, 31 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
