Managing a conflict of interest[edit]

Hello, Jdhillock. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Sherrilyn Kenyon, 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:

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 {{request edit}} template);
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, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. - FlightTime (open channel) 01:53, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

April 2023[edit]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Talk:Sherrilyn Kenyon. 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. - FlightTime (open channel) 01:58, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edits could give Wikipedia contributors the impression that you may consider legal or other "off-wiki" action against them, or against Wikipedia itself. Please note that making such threats on Wikipedia is strictly prohibited under Wikipedia's policies on legal threats and civility. Users who make such threats may be blocked. If you have a dispute with the content of any page on Wikipedia, please follow the proper channels for dispute resolution. Please be sure to comment on content, not contributors, and where possible make specific suggestions for changes supported by reliable independent sources and focusing especially on verifiable errors of fact. Thank you. —C.Fred (talk) 02:25, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding edit warring: you have have reverted the Sherrilyn Kenyon article at least three times in the last 24 hours and may be blocked over any further reverts. Whether you have violated 3RR or not, because of your admitted conflict of interest with the article, you should not edit the article at all; you may request edits at the article's talk page. —C.Fred (talk) 02:28, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@C.Fred: Now four reverts. - FlightTime (open channel) 02:30, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

April 2023[edit]

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing certain pages (Sherrilyn Kenyon) for edit warring.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text at the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. —C.Fred (talk) 02:31, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The user has filed an Arbitration Case Request [1] which, aside from being not ripe, appears to me to include a clear legal threat. Beyond My Ken (talk) 04:14, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Jdhillock, I have removed the Request for Arbitration you filed, as premature. Further, it included a legal threat, which are unacceptable on Wikipedia. I understand you are worried about the Sherrilyn Kenyon article. But the right way to go about this is to use the talk page on that article, which you can find by following the link here: Talk:Sherrilyn Kenyon. Making posts on that talk page is the best way to discuss the content you would like changed in the article. CaptainEek ^{Edits Ho Cap'n!}⚓ 06:04, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Some advice[edit]

Hello. I happened to catch a glimpse of the conflict you were involved in, and figured I'd try to give you some hopefully helpful advice.

So, my read of the situation so far is that there's an article about you, includes stuff that you say is wrong, badly outdated, or possibly libellous, and you're not really getting anywhere in getting that changed, while at the same time the level of conflict around you is escalating bit by bit. I imagine you're feeling pretty frustrated and quite possibly pissed off at Wikipedia right now as a result, which is pretty understandable. However, one of the big issues is that you're going about things entirely the wrong way if you want to get them changed.

It's quite well possible you are right in your complaints on the article about you. People make mistakes; sometimes people's opinions bleed through in spite of our neutrality and verifiability policies; articles don't always get updated when new information comes to light; and (especially for articles that have been around since the early Wikipedia days), the quality of sources isn't always quite what we nowadays expect for a biography of a living person.

On the other hand, as I'm sure you can understand, we also get a lot of attempts by article subjects to white-wash the articles on them by removing any negative content no matter how correct and well-sourced; or to promote themselves by inserting claims that are not backed up by proper sourcing, and might even be plain incorrect. On top of that, there's people who really truly do try to write neutrally about themselves (or their books, their business, their music, band, family members, employers, so on), but well... it's hard to be neutral about a subject you've got a conflict of interest about—even when you're really, honestly trying.

As a result, we've got a bunch of rules and guides and advice about how to manage a conflict of interest in general, as well as more specific advice for specific situations, like how to handle problems in an article about you. Following those is much more likely to lead to the problems being fixed than trying to go in and change the content yourself while threatening to call a lawyer on people.

What a thoughtful and well-written post — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 09:24, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That was nice. If we're talking about going legal, it's probably time to contact the Wikimedia Foundation's team of volunteers at [email protected], with a link to the page and details of the problem. They're a little slow, but if you are going legal, you'd wind up talking to them anyway. I have more advice at User:Deepfriedokra/behalf. Hope this helps. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 10:40, 27 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
