Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, The Hardworking Servant. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Henry Oaminal, 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. You removed negative information about Mr. Oaminal and replaced it with glowing promotional text, 331dot (talk) 09:57, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add commentary, your own point of view, or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Henry Oaminal. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. 331dot (talk) 10:07, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy by adding commentary and your personal analysis into articles, as you did at Henry Oaminal, you may be blocked from editing. 331dot (talk) 10:24, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is to address the warnings you issued regarding my contributions to the "Henry Oaminal" article. Your accusations that my edits constitute a violation of Wikipedia's neutral point of view (NPOV) policy, and your implication that they amount to commentary or personal analysis, are not only unfounded but suggest a bias in your own approach.

The edits I made are factual, well-sourced, and focused on presenting a comprehensive account of Governor Henry Oaminal’s public life. Ensuring that the article reflects a balanced narrative. In contrast, your concerns appear to emphasize only the negative aspects of the subject's career while dismissing neutral or positive contributions as promotional. This approach undermines Wikipedia's commitment to impartiality and fairness.

Your warnings give the impression of political bias, as they seem to favor a one-sided, critical portrayal of the subject. Focusing exclusively on controversies or perceived negatives without acknowledging the full breadth of the subject’s public service is not aligned with Wikipedia’s principles of neutrality. My edits aim to provide a balanced perspective that includes both challenges and achievements, ensuring readers are presented with a well-rounded view.

It is troubling that rather than engaging in constructive dialogue about potential areas for improvement, you have chosen to issue warnings that threaten to block my contributions. This behavior discourages collaboration and creates a hostile editing environment. I strongly urge you to substantiate your claims with specific examples of how the content violates NPOV, rather than making broad accusations.

Wikipedia is a platform for collaborative knowledge-sharing, not for advancing selective narratives. If you believe any part of the article requires adjustment, I welcome a fair discussion on the Talk page where all editors can provide input. However, continuing to dismiss neutral or positive information as “whitewashing” while disproportionately highlighting negatives creates a skewed and biased article.

I remain committed to ensuring the "Henry Oaminal" article adheres to Wikipedia’s standards and reflects an impartial and comprehensive account of the subject. I invite you to engage in good faith and work towards achieving this goal rather than perpetuating accusations or advancing a one-sided narrative.

This is my communication with you. You are whitewashing the article to remove less positive information about Mr. Oaminal and are replacing it with glowing text about him ("In his dedication to transforming Misamis Occidental into a thriving province, Governor Henry S. Oaminal unveiled his guiding philosophy") and are writing in the form of an essay, speaking to the reader("Here’s an in-depth look at the 5Ms, which are reshaping the province for the better.") These are just single examples.

You have some misunderstandings about Wikipedia. It is not for merely sharing knowledge, Wikipedia summarizes what independent reliable sources state about a topic. Nowhere does Wikipedia claim to be balanced or fair when reliable sources are not balanced and fair. Any bias in sources will be reflected in Wikipedia. Sources are presented to readers so they can evaluate and judge them for themselves as to bias and other factors. See WP:FALSEBALANCE, we don't treat all points of view equally when sources do not. 331dot (talk) 10:59, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have a connection to Mr. Oaminal? You seem to have created your account for the expressed purpose of editing about him. Lastly, I have very little interest in Filipino politics- my only interest is in seeing policies are adhered to as best as possible. 331dot (talk) 11:00, 21 November 2024 (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 Henry Oaminal. LaffyTaffer (talk) 15:08, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abuse of editing privileges.

If you believe that there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. PhilKnight (talk) 15:21, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Edit Warring

Hi The Hardworking Servant! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of an article several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.

All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages to try to reach consensus. If you are unable to agree, please use one of the dispute resolution options to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war. Thank you. VViking_TalkEdits 14:35, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
