October 2020

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page ZOX has been reverted.
Your edit here to ZOX was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (https://www.facebook.com/ZOX-6813512423/) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 17:37, 19 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Accurate Sea. 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:

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 WP:Spam);
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. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 22:13, 21 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

November 2020

Hello, I noticed that you may have recently made edits while logged out. Wikipedia's policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow the use of both an account and an IP address by the same person in the same setting and doing so may result in your account being blocked from editing. Additionally, making edits while logged out reveals your IP address, which may allow others to determine your location and identity. If this was not your intention, please remember to log in when editing. Thank you. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 07:32, 25 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your account can not be shared

Accurate Sea, not only do your comments on my talk page make it clear that you have a conflict of interest with the article on ZOX, your most recent edit summary there says that this is a "group account", which is not permitted - see WP:NOSHARING. You should stop this practice or you can be blocked from editing. Melcous (talk) 01:20, 30 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

All details on zox page that you have questioned/removed have now been properly cited where necessary (at the risk of citation overkill https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_overkill), despite not definitively requiring said citations given the nature of the content (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Good_article_criteria). (Please see your Talk for additional explanation on this citation topic.) Further, none are opinion-based, as they comprise biographical facts regarding a musical act. Since the vast majority of the facts in the article *were not added by me*--i simply provided citations--the purported COI you mention is moot. However, if you deem it absolutely necessary, feel free to add me as a "connected contributor", as a past employee of the business. Regarding the shared account, this referred to family members, as this computer has perpetual sign-in. Not to worry--we will each open our own accounts. Regardless of all this, it still is unclear why you are engaging in an edit war with cited information.Accurate Sea (talk) 07:01, 16 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

And again, the response to this is simple. As you have declared that you have a conflict of interest, you are asked (again) not to edit the article directly, but rather to use the talk page to suggest/request edits. Melcous (talk) 07:10, 16 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I will no longer edit the site, your comment has been duly noted. Thank you. However, the content that *is* currently present (which you seem to keep deleting), is now *all* properly cited and accurate, with no bias or opinion-based entries. Can we considered this settled? i.e. Leave content currently present, and I will never again edit the page...? Accurate Sea (talk) 16:02, 11 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That's not how this works. You have disclosed that you have a WP:COI and you have been asked repeatedly to propose edits on the talk page rather than editing the article directly. Melcous (talk) 00:30, 12 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have any edits to "propose". I said I will not edit any longer. You are removing content from the article that I never added in the first place -- i simply put citations in (links to articles online), to prevent you from continuously deleting the publicly available facts (which as i've explained in talk, do not actually require citations since its "citation overkill". It kind of feels like *you* don't understand how this works!Accurate Sea (talk) 03:48, 13 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

December 2020

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that 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. Melcous (talk) 21:44, 9 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

January 2021

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at ZOX. Melcous (talk) 06:39, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
