[edit]

Information icon Hello, I'm ZimZalaBim. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to VirnetX seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Please stop adding POV language. Your username suggests you might have a conflict. Please discuss on talk page. ZimZalaBim talk 20:15, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Notice of neutral point of view noticeboard discussion

[edit]

Information icon There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Neutral point of view/Noticeboard regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you.--ZimZalaBim talk 21:14, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

And you're telling me that you have NO extemporaneous interest in keeping the patent troll narrtive alive????? You can't even leave it off after you said you didn't want to get into "editing wars". What IS your motive?????

Conflict of interest

[edit]

Since you admit being an investor in VirnetX here I fear you risk running afoul our WP:COI and WP:NPOV guidelines. I suggest you avoid making direct edits to that article and instead suggest changes on the talk page. --ZimZalaBim talk 22:23, 21 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest

[edit]

Information icon Hello, Patentinvestor. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page VirnetX, 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. —DIYeditor (talk) 01:28, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent editing history at VirnetX shows that you are currently 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. 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 the bold, revert, discuss cycle 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 you 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. —DIYeditor (talk) 01:30, 22 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
