COI

[edit]

Information icon Hello, QLitBabel. 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:

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. duffbeerforme (talk) 23:03, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hello duffbeerforme, thanks for your message. I am aware of the COI guidelines and assure you there is none involved in any of my Wikipedia articles, including this one. I have no close connection with my articles' subjects, nor have I been paid or otherwise compensated for any, including this one. Re your notability maintenance tag, I believe this article meets notability guidelines, concerning a well known author with bestselling works listed and a history on public record. Please note also that many sources used here are not primary, e.g. Sydney Morning Herald, AustLit, Wayback Machine Internet Archive, World Cat, ISBNs etc. (even citing from a memoir published by a third party does not necessarily constitute primary sourcing). I therefore respectfully ask that you reconsider your position and remove said maintenance tags, which I believe I have demonstrated are not relevant or applicable. Kind regards, QLitBabel (talk) 05:58, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
That's a nice picture there that you took of the subject. Did you just stumble upon Burrough walking down the street? Primary sources include this Silky Oak Press page. Oh, look at that nice photo there. I wonder who took that official portrait. I wonder where else we can find it? So do you really have no conflict of interest?
On Notability. Whilst you believe Burrough is notable no-one agreed with you. At the recent afd everyone that commented on the article that wasn't you called for deletion. That afd closed as no consensus so the question of notability was not answered. "well known author"? well known by who? I'd never heard of Burrough. Where's the evidence of well known (not that well known = notable)? Vague claim of "bestselling works", what bestselling works? bestselling according to who? Where's the evidence?
On primary. If Burrough wrote it then of course it's primary. Are you really saying that just because Wayback is hosting it is not primary? (not that that page even has a by-line). Please don't consider removing that tag until you get a better idea of what primary means here because you have clearly demonstrated a misunderstanding. Also it's not just about the count of primary sources but also the large proportion of the page verified only by them. Such as the entire self-serving Early life section.
So no, I will not be removing any of them. As the creator of this article and someone who has a conflict of interest you are not the right person to be removing tags. duffbeerforme (talk) 04:16, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

To clarify on the tag removal: the Help:Maintenance template removal page's "When To Remove" paragraph clearly states:

  • “You may remove a template when according to your best judgement the lack of edits and/or talk page discussion should be interpreted as the issue not worth fixing (as a form of "silent consensus").”

Further, the Edit warring page clearly states:

  • “Wikipedia encourages editors to be bold, but while a potentially controversial change may be made to find out whether it is opposed, another editor may revert it.”

... I did so on those valid grounds, but in the process lost the article’s info box, which I rectified, hence my edit summary ‘corrected info box’ (08:46, 29 September), which was the last part of that time-consuming edit – it was not, as you asserted above it, ‘a blatant lie’ but a condensed note. Attacking my integrity by calling me a liar, and your unfounded ‘COI accusation’ is personal, presumptuous and out of line. No, I really have no COI. Conversely, you do seem to have some ‘reverse’ COI from the consistently negative bias and combative tone of your edit summaries. You don’t display a particularly neutral POV and sound to be in some close conflict with the article’s subject.

On notability, just because you personally “haven’t heard of” a well-known Australian author does not make them un-notable – most Australians have undoubtedly never heard of a high number of American and other nationalized subjects of Wikipedia articles – that does not render them un-notable – is this some petty parochial issue you're having? The proof of this subject’s bestselling status is reflected in the referencing (e.g. no. 7). Further, the article’s talk page clearly confirms that:

Do you really see yourself as above these entities?

As for your claim “at the recent the recent afd everyone that commented on the article that wasn't you called for deletion” – only 1 other person answered and that was you:

So again, who has the COI here?

Re Burrough’s book being primary – the referencing shows that its author didn’t publish, catalogue or review it – but whichever way you choose to see that, I had merely pointed out there is non-primary referencing in the article too. The idea of the photo being some “official portrait” would appear to exist only in your own fertile imagination. Finally, your issues with the article seem largely stylistic, which is subjective and bound to differ from person to person.

Your behavior has been:

  • uncivil
  • offensive
  • inappropriate

... and reflects seriously on your administrative capacity (blatant misuse of administrative tools, gross and persistent misjudgment and conduct issues). This is reportable under numerous Wikipedia guidelines, e.g.:

… and I shall not hesitate to do so if it continues and you persist in refusing to remove the COI tag, which is a malicious and defamatory fabrication (your talk page shows your abysmal track record of interpersonal contention, so I am by no means your first target in this respect on record).

Sincerely, QLitBabel (talk) 07:48, 1 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

What an epic, have a read of WP:TLDR.
I'll start at the end. Feel free to report me at any time. I still refuse to remove the COI tag.
Next, coi/honesty. Let's look at that edit [1]. Edit summary "Amendment/shortening of paragraph". OK, so what paragraph was shortened? Absolutely none. So where's that integrity?
"some petty parochial issue you're having". No, you are. I'm not American. Funny how you are lecturing me on civility while failing to civil yourself.
Best selling, sorry I see now. Still not the stuff of notability.
What are you trying to say about those talk page tags? They say absolutely nothing about notability. Absolutely nothing.
On the afd, one person answered, me, yes that's right. But someone else nominated it for deletion on notability grounds. That was not me. Regardless of the numbers the question of notability was Not resolved.
"blatant misuse of administrative tools"? So enlighten me. When have I ever misused an administrative tool, or even used one?
Since you continue to maintain your claim of no connection I will ask for another opinion. duffbeerforme (talk) 04:07, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Re “What are you trying to say about those talk page tags? They say absolutely nothing about notability”. Yes they do, your maintenance tag reads: "the topic of this article may not meet Wikipedia's general notability guideline.”

And yes, the person who flagged the article for deletion months ago, prior to its later development, apologized on the afd page, i.e. “Apologies didn't see your names up here. New to process” ...

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/C S Burrough

... which you conveniently whitewash in your attempt to cover up a blatant lie (above) about “at the recent afd everyone that commented on the article that wasn't you called for deletion” when the only other commentator was yourself.

You have indeed “misused administrative tools” by issuing maintenance tags falsely accusing the article’s subject of “not meet[ing] Wikipedia's general notability guideline” and its major contributor appearing “to have a close connection with its subject” – both blatantly untrue, out of line and therefore reportable.

On notability: how many Australian authors have you “heard of”? Several hundred here: Category:Australian_writers.

... by your rationale of having “never heard of” them / "not the stuff of notability" (see your comments above) they’re presumably all un-notable, so you’ll be rushing to delete each one. Unlike many of those, the subject of this article has works held at the National Library of Australia:

National Library of Australia C S Burrough

No idea what you mean about the "amendment/shortening of paragraph" point (nor, apparently, do you) as previously explained after my already clarifying the time-consuming loss then rectification of the article’s info box, which took several attempts.

None of my other articles have received such negativity, so why your conspiratorial “COI” paranoia compels you to zoom in on this one is perplexing – I am further convinced it is you, not I, with the COI, in your rabidly unnecessary targeting of this. To make such persistent accusations without supporting evidence (because there is none) is as absurd as your other obstructive input – why people exist merely to seek out and provoke online discord is unfathomable (I believe 'trolling" rather then "editing" is the word). You don't sound at all like a happy Wikipedian, clearly in need of time out and/or have a personal agenda to discredit this article's subject and/or creator (i.e. "not notable", a "COI" etc.) and are arguably swallowing too many Duff Beers.

I first attempted the utmost civility, with “respectfully ask” and “kind regards”, only to meet with your usual stream of hostility and sarcastic diatribe. Resorting to your own language then proved futile. I have wasted sufficient time and energy trying, in earnest, to reason with you – not even my most flippant, insolent and unhinged 13-year-old school pupils have resorted to “feel free to report me at any time”.

I am disinclined to engage further, and any more such abuse from you on my otherwise polite and harmonious User Page will be ignored and/or removed with the contempt it deserves. I am meanwhile in consultation over your being reported, and not just by myself. I sincerely hope whoever you ask for "another opinion" thoroughly reads and digests this discussion, as are my own advisors. QLitBabel (talk) 08:07, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You are misrepresenting a lot of things here. I'll break down a few things for you.
Re “What are you trying to say about those talk page tags? They say absolutely nothing about notability”. Yes they do, your maintenance tag reads: "the topic of this article may not meet Wikipedia's general notability guideline.”
I wrote “What are you trying to say about those talk page tags?" (emphasis added) Note: talk page
This was in reference to your conmment
Further, the article’s talk page clearly confirms that:
Those talk page tags. They have nothing to do with notability. The one you refer to as saying "the topic of this article may not meet Wikipedia's general notability guideline.” is not on the talk page.
And yes, the person who flagged the article for deletion months ago, prior to its later development, apologized on the afd page, i.e. “Apologies didn't see your names up here. New to process” ...
No they did not. The person who flagged the article for deletion was TheChronium. Their only edit to the afd was to create the afd like this. They made no apologies. The misplaced apology came from posted over two edits, first and second. Note how it refers to Mr Vore, not to Burrough. He was addressing Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/John Michael Vore in the wrong places.
So no, I was not whitewashing anything, there was two commentators calling for deletion, myself and TheChronium.
You have indeed “misused administrative tools” by issuing maintenance tags
I did not use administrative tools to issue maintenance tags. I did it through normal editing.
No idea what you mean about the "amendment/shortening of paragraph" point
Let's look at the actual edit. here is where you removed the maintenance tags. Under your userename which is below "Revision as of 07:51, 29 September 2021 (edit) (undo)" there is your edit summary which states "m (Amendment/shortening of paragraph)". Then below Line 1: we can see what you changed. Nowhere in that change is any shortening of paragraph. duffbeerforme (talk) 04:58, 6 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It was not my intention to “misrepresent” anything, possibly a simple case of misperception on both our parts, though I feel you have been deliberately obtuse in refusing to concede my every point.

Your “administrative tools” argument is grasping at semantics – the tags were administered by you (requiring two bots to complete your administration) and were overzealously and spuriously used, there being no COI on my part, an acceptable degree of notability and existing non-primary sources.

Who posted the expired afd tag and who apologized is more picking at straws, the point stands that the article developed substantially after it and only you commented against keeping it, at the non-consensus stage.

Which talk page "the topic of this article may not meet Wikipedia's general notability guideline” is on does not negate the support and recognition the article received from the outset by unbiased entities, i.e.:

… which would not have been forthcoming had the subject not been a known literary figure not lacking in notability.

I have repeatedly explained to the best of my ability the “amendment/shortening of paragraph" point – the edit shows that the info box template was reinserted after being accidentally lost in a sperate edit and a paragraph was amended at that time. Your continual reiteration of this moot point is telling.

The extremes you have reached struggling to discredit the article and its subject show a disproportionately negative bias and COI against the subject. No other editor has even fractionally shown your level of objection. Your fervid persistence crossed a line some time ago, becoming tantamount to harassment and may only be redressed at a higher level, with your recalcitrance cited as a reference point. It would appear to be in your best interest to desist forthwith. I see no purpose in this convoluted discussion covering old ground and going in circles.

Sincerely, QLitBabel (talk) 06:48, 6 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

(requiring two bots to complete your administration
No, no bots were required. I typed them. And not administration.
Who posted the expired afd tag and who apologized is more picking at straws,
So when you incorrectly thought I was wrong it's conveniently whitewash in your attempt to cover up a blatant lie but when it's shown beyond doubt that you were wrong it's just picking at straws. Regardless, that afd closed as no consensus so the question of notability was not answered.
Which talk page "the topic of this article may not meet Wikipedia's general notability guideline” is on
No, it is not on a talk page. Talk pages start with Talk:
the support and recognition the article received from the outset by unbiased entities and … which would not have been forthcoming had the subject not been a known literary figure not lacking in notability.
That is not support, they would be forthcoming for an unknown literary figure totaly lacking in notability. Someone looks at the article which at the time looked like this. They saw "Australian author". From that they can see person, therefore WikiProject Biography, Australian, therefore WikiProject Australia and author therfore arts and entertainment work group. No claiming of known or notable involved.
I have repeatedly explained to the best of my ability the “amendment/shortening of paragraph" point – the edit shows that the info box template was reinserted after being accidentally lost
No the edit shows the removal of the maintenance tags along woth the accidental removal of the info box. Everyone can see that from looking at the dif. They can also see the edit summary of m (Amendment/shortening of paragraph). They can also see there is no shortening of paragraph. duffbeerforme (talk) 11:53, 7 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • duffbeerforme Your latest notations are ALL nonsensical rubbish. Now fully convinced of your own negative COI with article's subject - you must learn to recognize where you are wrong.

Furthermore, should I become "blocked" from further editing, then that negates all rights to omit my expression of opinion (and deletion of article) - you will answer to this, regardless how long it takes, pointless trying to huffpuff out of everything. You are on record, too late to go into denial now, the more you try silencing, the more public this will become. And should I be unreasonably "blocked" others are on standby.

Blocked

[edit]

Hello QLitBabel. I have blocked you from editing for a period of 1 week. Your repeated hostile behaviour towards other users is simply unacceptable. While I appreciate that having your articles nominated for deletion is a stressful experience, the way to deal with this is not to lash out at the other people involved. Should you return to editing after this block expires, then please take careful note of our policies on civility and also conflicts of interest. If you do not, you will likely be indefinitely blocked sooner rather than later. Regards, The Land (talk) 12:27, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Addendum as a result of this, you will no longer be able to edit the pages relating to the deletion requests nor to the COI investigation. If you have further evidence to add to either of those (e.g. links to establish the notability of C S Burrough) then kindly post it on this page. The Land (talk) 12:40, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The Land you have, simply, not done your homework - all of this will come out in the wash. Investigation is well under way and will show the level of misconduct here. QLitBabel (talk) 12:59, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've also revoked your ability to post on this page and to send emails via Wikipedia. Vague allegations about 'investigaton' and 'misconduct' are a transparent tactic to try to intimidate myself and others with valid concerns. The Land (talk) 13:03, 8 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • the block is no longer necessary because you
    1. understand what you have been blocked for,
    2. will not continue to cause damage or disruption, and
    3. will make useful contributions instead.

Please read the guide to appealing blocks for more information. HighInBC Need help? Just ask. 12:52, 25 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

You keep claiming there is no evidence, 4 admins on this talk page and several uninvolved editors over at COIN have reviewed the articles, all talk pages etc and concluded that there is a COI, at this point your vehement denials are more IDHT I suggest the next admin revokes TPA as we are obviously wasting time here.

You say convincing is subjective, which may or may not be true, but we are the ones you have to convince, and you haven't done so yet. 331dot (talk) 07:37, 24 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@QLitBabel: if you want to be unblocked, I would suggest first withdrawing your open appeal above. Read the guidelines to appealing blocks carefully, before leaving a more thoughtful appeal. Your appeal should indicate a sincere understanding of why you were blocked, and reasons that it will not be necessary in the future. (If you are unblocked and then blocked again, then it is likely to be permanent.) Not an admin here, just trying to give good advice on the chance that you are WP:HERE to build an encyclopedia.

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

QLitBabel (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

The block is not necessary to prevent damage or disruption to Wikipedia - i.e. COI accusations are mistaken, unproven and have been extensively explored, as per all of the above) QLitBabel (talk) 02:22, 26 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

The COI really is blatant, and this is not going anywhere. I am declining this request and revoking talk page access. --Blablubbs (talk) 15:48, 29 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Again with the COI being "unproven" when SEVERAL USERS AND 4 ADMINS HAVE CONCLUDED THAT THERE IS. WP:IDHT is even more obvious now, I suggest the next declining admin also revoke TPA as we are obviuosly not going to get anywhere with this user. 10:28, 26 October 2021 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lavalizard101 (talk • contribs)

Stop hand
Your ability to edit this talk page has been revoked as an administrator has identified your talk page edits as inappropriate and/or disruptive.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, you should read the guide to appealing blocks, then contact administrators by submitting a request to the Unblock Ticket Request System.
Please note that there could be appeals to the unblock ticket request system that have been declined leading to the post of this notice.

UTRS 50192

[edit]

UTRS appeal #50192 is closed. @QLitBabel: I don't know why you think repeating your denials at UTRS would be efficacious when they were rejected here. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 15:18, 30 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
