Promotional editing[edit]
Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Frequency Therapeutics. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you. Jytdog (talk) 17:05, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
- Pleaase be aware that I am pretty close to seeking a topic ban for you, with respect to editing about biomedical companies. I do not have time to deal with the carelessness in the discussion (diff
Ok. I didn't realize that that was the sentence you're taking issue with
) when the diff cited is very small), where you were not even looking at the content under dispute, much less the dreck content you are "defending". Completely careless, completely promotional. Our article about Cipro is way out of date but i get pinned down by this kind of incompetent, promotional garbage. Not for much longer. Jytdog (talk) 22:19, 16 January 2018 (UTC)- @Jytdog: - Please do what you feel you need to do. I don't think my editing is promotional. I have no personal link with the subjects of the articles I'm editing, and I'm curious why you think I'd be seeking to promote them.
- I do appreciate your concern about being cautious when using sources that may have COI's. I think in my most recent response to you I indicated a willingness to properly qualify facts attributed to said sources.
- On another note, I'd encourage you to consider discussion before wikilawyering. Frankly, I don't think the content change you're looking for is that different to the one I also think is appropriate. It's a tad annoying that you don't seem to willing to come to consensus through discussion. NickCT (talk) 22:35, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
Edit warring to keep it[edit]
Your recent editing history at Frequency Therapeutics shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. Jytdog (talk) 17:05, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
- After a single revert? Really? Don't think we might be jumping the gun with the obnoxious warning messages? NickCT (talk) 20:03, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
- diff your original addition, 16 June 2017
- revert to keep it diff 16:40, 16 January 2018
- revert again diff 20:04, 16 January 2018
- revert again diff 21:22, 16 January 2018
You are edit warring to retain spam-driven promotional content. Shameful. Jytdog (talk) 22:30, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
- Did you seek to discuss the topic before reverting? NickCT (talk) 22:36, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
- Technically, you added the spam to WP. You reverted to restore it. You should have instead opened a discussion per BRD as to what was wrong with it, and listened. Instead, like most editors who come to WP to promote things, you have blindly edit warred to keep the garbage. Whatever. Jytdog (talk) 22:49, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
- What do you think my impetus is to promote the topic in question? NickCT (talk) 22:51, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
- I have no idea why you are hyping things, and I don't care. What I know is that you are hyping things. I know this from 1) the content - badly sourced (primary sources, press release, churnalism) ; 2) the behavior - adding it in the first place, and blindly edit warring to keep it. This is what people who come here to promote things do, content and behavior wise, all the time. That is the only way I can know. I can show this with diffs. You violate WP:PROMO all the time. Content and behavior. Jytdog (talk) 22:58, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
- Generally, people promote things because they are fans or haters ("veganism is great!!!") or they have a financial conflict of interest. Somtimes industry people come to WP who are used to press-release-like writing and are in some context where press releases matter, and they bring that crap into WP. I have no idea what your deal is. I don't guess. Sometimes I ask. I have not asked you. There has not been a clear enough case with one company to justify it. Jytdog (talk) 23:07, 16 January 2018 (UTC)

Now asking...[edit]
Due to your persistence at Frequency Therapeutics, I am now asking...
Your recent contributions are focused on Frequency Therapeutics, an article you created and have been the biggest contributor to. I'm giving you notice of our Conflict of Interest guideline and Terms of Use, and will have some comments and requests for you below.
Hello, NickCT. 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 COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. Editing for the purpose of advertising or promotion is not permitted. 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, company, organization or competitors;
- propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
- disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
- 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 must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).
Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you.
Comments and requests[edit]
Wikipedia is a widely-used reference work and managing conflict of interest is essential for ensuring the integrity of Wikipedia and retaining the public's trust in it. As in academia, COI is managed here in two steps - disclosure and a form of peer review. Please note that there is no bar to being part of the Wikipedia community if you want to be involved in articles where you have a conflict of interest; there are just some things we ask you to do (and if you are paid, some things you need to do).
Disclosure is the most important, and first, step. While I am not asking you to disclose your identity (anonymity is strictly protecting by our WP:OUTING policy) would you please disclose if you have some connection with Frequency Therapeutics, directly or through a third party (e.g. an economic development agency, an investor group, or a PR agency or the like working for people connected with the company)? You can answer how ever you wish (giving personally identifying information or not), but if there is a connection, please disclose it. After you respond (and you can just reply below), I can walk you through how the "peer review" part happens. Please reply here, just below, to keep the discussion in one place. Thanks! Jytdog (talk) 19:53, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
- @Jytdog: - This seems like a slightly disingenuous question as I recently told you that I have no relation to these folks. It's beginning to really weird me out that you continually seem to infer or insinuate I do. Please cease. If you don't believe me, go post to some appropriate noticeboard. Also, please cease posting to my user page. We're trying to address a content question which is probably best addressed on the talkpage of the article in question. Thanks, NickCT (talk) 19:57, 22 January 2018 (UTC)

February 2018[edit]
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Frequency Therapeutics. 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.
Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
- 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; 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. Note you are at 4RR already Alexbrn (talk) 15:48, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
- Alexbrn - You are invited to cease leaving comments here Alex. NickCT (talk) 15:51, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

A little note[edit]
Hey NickCT. Just wanted to say, while I do agree your points, it's not a good idea to call out others for their POVs. We all have personal POVs. There are some editors who are mainly POV-pushers on the mainspace but 90% of the time it doesn't help to actually say so and mostly just undermines future possibility of editors with different personal POVs reaching agreements. He probably hasn't read the comment yet-- you have time to edit it. Feel free to delete this message if you'd like.--Calthinus (talk) 18:17, 27 April 2018 (UTC)
- @Calthinus: - I appreciate your thoughts and agree with you to some extent and realize there might be civility issues. But the fact is that the editor in question is pretty grievously distorting the references and rules of Wikipedia to fit his/her own personal viewpoints. As you're no doubt aware, some editors tend to do this more than others. I think it's important that repeat offenders be called out or else what's essentially a disruptive behavior may never get sanctioned. NickCT (talk) 20:37, 27 April 2018 (UTC)

I think you may to read a comment made about you. See "That the RfC has been called "vague and poorly framed" by one editor". That's not accurate. Others have also complained about the vagueness of the RfC. Is it about that article or is it about something else. QuackGuru (talk) 18:35, 23 July 2018 (UTC)
- Only one editor stated "vague and poorly framed." No other editor stated that. So there is no inaccuracy regarding my comment. I fail to see why you felt the need to post this on NickCT's talk page unless it's to start unnecessary drama. Flyer22 Reborn (talk) 01:54, 24 July 2018 (UTC)
