Major problem

I can't post the article that I've drafted on my user page. I'm not a neutral third-party. I'm on the Big-8 Management Board.

Teke's take

You can post the article, as long as you remain NPOV. The important thing is that the article is encyclopedic and not promotional. The article as is written is informative, but does not hold up to standards. It reads as a FAQ or "About Us," I suggest putting the article on hold until you can rewrite it.

Meanwhile might I suggest you make it a subpage, e.g. User:Mxmsj/Usenet, so that it's easier for someone else to incorporate your text into the actual article. —Tamfang 05:12, 31 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

re: Usenet

As long as you maintain NPOV, you are allowed to post the information. Just keep that in mind. -Penwhale | Blast the Penwhale 13:13, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

re: Tamfang & Penwhale

Thanks for the feedback!

I've moved the page as suggested.

I really feel fully disqualified to post it. I think the information is as accurate as I can make it, but I'm on the board in question. That seems to me to be a real conflict-of-interest.

It doesn't mean you can't write NPOV. Just... hard. -Penwhale | Blast the Penwhale 13:23, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

LOL! I'd like to think that I could disentangle myself from the conflicts caused by the creation of the board and be objective about it--I've tried to do so--but there is a deep reservoir of self-interest in the topic because I've spent ... uh ... 15 months or so working on getting the board set up. There is some principle in law that it's not enough for a judge to be just; the judge and judgments must seem just. I don't think I can meet that standard. Thanks again, though, for the feedback and encouragement. Wikipedia is wonderful!

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Third Heaven may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry, just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:

third concept of Heaven, also called ''shamayi h'shamayim'' (ם‎שמי‎ה‎ שמי) or "Heaven of Heavens") is mentioned in such passages as [[Book of Genesis|Genesis]] 28:12, [[Deuteronomy]] 10:14 and [[

TIGHAR

Mr. Moleski,

I am aware that a Mr. Blondel has recently advised you that he intends to edit the article on Amelia Earhart to include a link to TIGHAR’s website with the purpose of attracting donations. I have advised Mr. Blondel that this is prohibited by Wikipedia policy as WP:SOAPBOX clearly states that Wikipedia is not to be used for promotion of any kind. I am also aware that you advised him to “wait for a while and do more editing” that he might achieve his desired goal. While Mr. Blondel may be ignorant of policy, you appear to be well aware of Wikipedia’s policies. Be aware that advising another editor on how to violate Wikipedia policy may be considered a show of bad faith. 74.133.117.36 (talk) 11:49, 28 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Mister, Miss, Mrs, or Ms. 74.133.117.36,

Your account of my dialogue with Blondel is inaccurate.

Your accusation is unfounded.

Your cowardice is amusing.

Martin X. Moleski, SJ (talk) 12:14, 28 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I don’t understand how my account of your discussion with Blondel could be inaccurate when I quoted you verbatim, but that’s neither here nor there. It’s not my intent to terrify or threaten you Martin. I hoped to appeal to your sense of ethics as I assumed that a Jesuit would do the right thing because it’s the right thing, and not because of any kind of “threats of action by Wikipedia” of which I made, and am making precisely none. If you’ll not see the wrong in advising someone on how to misuse Wikipedia then that’s on you. You’ve plainly made up your mind, so you’ll hear nothing more from me. 74.133.117.36 (talk) 14:28, 28 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Dear Mister, Miss, Mrs, or Ms. 74.133.117.36,

Trolls never do understand how their contributions could be offensive.

Playing innocent one of the cute things trolls do.

I'm grateful that I won't hear any more from this sock puppet.

Martin X. Moleski, SJ (talk) 14:44, 28 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This is a test

I'm sorry for not updating this page more often.

I will have to find other means of communicating with my friends.

Mmmm.

I don't vote in the elections.

All of my edits are trivial.

I am not an informed voter.

Hope it all works out!

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Mxmsj. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Biblica (journal), 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 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. Randykitty (talk) 12:56, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the reminder about conflict of interest.

I and my editor were reviewing the page, trying to make sure that it was accurate. The "shop talk" in the office has always been that we were founded in 1919. I made a mistake and corrected it within a few minutes.

I do not believe that either action contravenes the policy about conflict of interest.
