Managing a conflict of interest

[edit]

Information icon Hello, ZHWWW. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page IIRR, 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:

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. AntiDionysius (talk) 16:45, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Information icon Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give a page a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you.

I'd add that in this case, you also just shouldn't make the move. The page should be listed under its spelled-out title, not under its acronym. The acronym page should remain a redirect. See how EU is a redirect to European Union and USA redirects to United States etc. AntiDionysius (talk) 16:50, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Please do not use styles that are nonstandard, unusual, inappropriate or difficult to understand in articles, as you did in International Institute of Rural Reconstruction. There is a Manual of Style, and edits should not deliberately go against it without special reason. Thank you. AntiDionysius (talk) 17:02, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Warning icon Please stop. If you continue to remove maintenance templates without resolving the problem that the template refers to, as you did at International Institute of Rural Reconstruction, you may be blocked from editing. AntiDionysius (talk) 17:08, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Stop icon You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you remove maintenance templates from Wikipedia articles without resolving the problem that the template refers to, as you did at International Institute of Rural Reconstruction.

Hi. Me again. Can you please clarify if you have a personal connection to the organisation you're writing about? The problem is that your edits are making the article sound even more promotional (when it already had that problem to begin with) rather than neutrally describing it. That's an issue on its own, whether or not you are personally connected to it - but if you are, you are required to disclose your connection.

Additionally, it's just not great in general to not engage when other users are trying to talk to you about your edits and to instead keep re-doing them. --AntiDionysius (talk) 17:52, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
