Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Hire power. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Sahaja Yoga, 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, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 22:24, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have an external relationship with any of the people, places or things that I have written about. Also none of the edits could be described as promotion. There are a few mistakes including a spelling mistake, weasel words, incorrect conclusion not based on the source, and inaccurate wording which misrepresents the source.

Sahaja Yoga

You are WP:BLUDGEONING the RfC there. Please read WP:BLUDGEONING carefully. Bon courage (talk) 06:37, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You mentioned bludgeoning already on the [| talk page.] and I have desisted in commenting further to let the RFC process unfold by itself as you have also wisely done. Repeating the accusation here is unnecessary and could be seen as WP:HARRASSMENT.

However since you mentioned it, you made 11 comments in the discussion compared to my 8. As the opposing editor, you are WP:BLUDGEONING more than me. Hire power (talk) 02:40, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Bludgeoning is not measured by comment count. You started a RfC and then took issue with editors responding to it in a way you didn't want, "contradicting every viewpoint that is different from their own" as WP:BLUD describes. Good to see you've stopped! Bon courage (talk) 06:09, 20 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Hire power you are continuing to bludgeon the discussion. You should refrain from responding to every comment in an RfC, unless you have something new and pertinent to add in response. Rehashing the same thing over and over again is not helpful.

I can tell you feel strongly here so I feel there should be a little leniency, but I am strongly tempted to take this to WP:AN/I for bludgeoning, POV pushing and WP:CIR issues. Please take on board the advice given to you by other editors and allow the RfC process to play out. Otherwise, you are likely to quickly find yourself at one noticeboard or another.

You should not canvass specific editors you believe will support your position in the RfC, but you may wish to notify relevant WikiProjects of the RfC in order to encourage more responses. If you're not sure which WikiProjects to notify, you can find relevant projects in the banner at the very top of the article's talk page. Any such notifications to WikiProjects should be from a neutral POV. Adam Black ^{talk • contribs} 04:14, 22 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies, I am unfamiliar with the process. I was expecting the voting to eventually turn to discussion. I see now there is a "Discussion" subheading so I have moved my last comment into that section. Hire power (talk) 06:49, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How unfamiliar? Have you edited Wikipedia with other accounts? Bon courage (talk) 07:15, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Stop harrassing me and focus on content. I'm keeping a record of your actions and you are going to be reported. Hire power (talk) 13:37, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am certain a simple question like that is not WP:HA; it's quite common to ask it for transparency purposes and to allow WP:SCRUTINY. You are aware of WP:SOCK? This is a policy all users should be familiar with. Bon courage (talk) 14:38, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Bon courage Blocked 1 week for socking. Doug Weller talk 16:08, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I suspect this is the tip of a socking iceberg (to mix my metaphors) on this topic. Getting Freelion vibes I am. Bon courage (talk) 16:16, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Freelion is very stale, and I found no other technical connections when checking this account. If there's more complex behavioral evidence an SPI is the place for it. Vanamonde93 (talk) 19:15, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 week for abusing multiple accounts. Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but not for illegitimate reasons, and any contributions made while evading blocks or bans may be reverted or deleted. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

If you think 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 ~~~~}}. Vanamonde93 (talk) 15:45, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This account has been blocked indefinitely as a sockpuppet that was created to violate Wikipedia policy. Note that using multiple accounts is allowed, but using them for illegitimate reasons is not, and that all edits made while evading a block or ban may be reverted or deleted. If this account is not a sockpuppet, and you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here ~~~~}} below. The Wordsmith^{Talk to me} 15:41, 24 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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).

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

Request reason:

Yes I did set up another account in order to make a discreet message to another editor to seek advice. I agreed with one of their posts and was letting them know I had a problem with an editor who I believed is gaming the system. The reason for engaging with another editor using a different account was to avoid creating further conflict with the problematic editor who I suspect was checking my edit history. I did not canvas for any article nor did I name the editor. I only asked for general advice. The additional account was not intended to deceive anyone so I don't believe my behaviour infringes on WP:SOCK. Note the other account is [this one] and the only use of it was at [this location].

Decline reason:

Until the block on your original account is lifted, you personally are not permitted to edit Wikipedia. Yamla (talk) 11:43, 25 September 2024 (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.
