User talk:FrankRogers35

Welcome!

Hello, FrankRogers35, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Again, welcome! —C.Fred (talk) 20:23, 1 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I do not have a COI, I see that there was an incident where there was a problem with how something was sourced, so I checked into it and found no problem. Also, I went on the edit tab and found no COI in any of the edits made. I do see individuals removing information and they seem to have a COI. All added information has a source and every source added is being labeled as invalid. To me, the COI is the other individual who is tampering with the page.

XDWALNUTXX stated in this edit summary that they have a conflict of interest. Frankly, your edits look highly suspicious—they raise a serious question of whether you are XDWALNUTXX editing under a second account. —C.Fred (talk) 20:35, 1 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

July 2022

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you recently removed maintenance templates from Arnie Bernstein. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Please see Help:Maintenance template removal for further information on when maintenance templates should or should not be removed. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. Thank you. —C.Fred (talk) 20:21, 1 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Arnie Bernstein, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. XDWALNUTXX has declared a conflict of interest and stated they are editing at the request of Bernstein. Until clearly-independent editors can review the article, the {{COI}} template must remain. —C.Fred (talk) 20:31, 1 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Then the COI template should stay for now, but the sourcing isn’t unreliable, and the information that is “unreliable” can clearly be found with multiple different sources. (Many of which have been removed by a user that appears to have a COI) That user is Meters. FrankRogers35 (talk) 20:37, 1 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

What is your basis for that accusation against Meters? —C.Fred (talk) 20:38, 1 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

He appears to have something against the subject of the page. He removed mention of his books and said it was “puffery” to have it on his page. Meters has also done this to a number of people as seen in his “talk” or message feature on his page. FrankRogers35 (talk) 20:40, 1 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

None of that indicates a conflict of interest.

I have also reverted your edit to Arnie Bernstein because the site you provided is not affiliated with the school. —C.Fred (talk) 21:57, 1 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add unsourced or poorly sourced content, as you did at Arnie Bernstein, you may be blocked from editing. —C.Fred (talk) 22:01, 1 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Do not add an alleged high school he attended unless you have a clearly reliable source supporting the claim. —C.Fred (talk) 22:03, 1 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Contact him about it then: [redacted] but until you can PROVE he didn’t attend, don’t take it down FrankRogers35 (talk) 22:09, 1 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That's not how Wikipedia works. Until you can prove he did attend, it doesn't get added to the article. See WP:Verifiability. —C.Fred (talk) 22:32, 1 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, send him an email and I’ve given many sources showing he did. YOU removed it. I’ve done my part. Do yours. FrankRogers35 (talk) 22:34, 1 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced or poorly sourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Niles West High School. —C.Fred (talk) 22:44, 1 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Note that anything you post in your unblock request will be public, so you may alternatively use the Unblock Ticket Request System to submit an appeal if it contains information that must be private.
