Miscellaneous

If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

  1. editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
  2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors;
  3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam); and,
  4. avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for businesses. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Thank you. Given your user name and the book title you are putting into articles, you may have a conflict of interest. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 02:42, 14 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

Joseph Priestley edit

Thanks for your recent contributions to the Joseph Priestley article! I just wanted to let you know that the reason I removed the information is because it is primarily about Jefferson. Fascinating as it is, we can't include every detail about Priestley's life in the article or it would wind on too long (it probably already is too long!). Perhaps you could add some of what you know to the Thomas Jefferson article? Awadewit (talk) 02:53, 14 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

I see in your most recent edit summary to the Priestley article that you state "A recent Priestley biography, The Invention of Air, called JP "the forgotten founder," so delineating his close relationship and philosophical kinship to the Declaration's author seems in order" - that is a good point (this article was written before the publication of that book). I wonder, however, what the best way to do this is. We already have some material about Jefferson and Priestley's relationship in the article. Rather than just adding to that paragraph, I wonder if it would be better to rewrite it altogether. Would you be willing to help us do that? Awadewit (talk) 13:24, 14 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

3RR edit

  You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 04:35, 14 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

I blocked you briefly for violatiing WP:3RR, but have unblocked you at User:Awadewit's request and becasue you are new here and may not realize the seriousness of 3RR violations. Please discuss changes before making them - Awadewit is a joy to work with and I look forward to an even better Joseph Priestley article. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 13:45, 14 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

Hi, I am brand new to Wikipedia, so I didn't intend to break any rules. Sorry. I'm just figuring out how the technology works. I thought that highlighting Priestley's associations with prominent founding fathers was of interest, given the new bio "The Invention of Air" that calls JP a forgotten founder. I realize that my edits were inserted into a paragraph about Priestley's pedagogical contributions to the U.of Virginia, but thought some more Jefferson connections would be of interest to readers. If you'll please unblock me, I'll be happy to cooperate with your suggestions. I would like to make some amplifications to the piece on John Adams, especially the section on religion.


{{unblock-auto|1=65.183.142.148|2=Autoblocked because your IP address was recently used by "Revolutionaryspirits". The reason given for Revolutionaryspirits's block is: "Edit warring: Violation of the [[WP:Three-revert |3=Ruhrfisch|4=1354371}}

I unblocked this account, so your IP address should also be unblocked. If it is not, you can still edit here, so please leave a note and I will make sure the IP address is also unblocked. Ruhrfisch ><>°° 14:26, 14 March 2009 (UTC)Reply


Thanks for your willingness to help. What do you think about rewriting the entire paragraph about Jefferson and Priestley? We could do that at Talk:Joseph Priestley. Awadewit (talk) 14:12, 14 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

I think an improved section would highlight Priestley's friendship with other revolutionary founders like Adams as well as Jefferson. By the way, I'm still blocked from editing.

I was away from my computer for several hours, sorry. I cannot see the problem - this account is unblocked, but I suspect your IP address is autoblocked. Anyway, I have asked another admin to look at this and see if they can unblock you. Sorry, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 03:57, 15 March 2009 (UTC)Reply
There was an IP autoblock, but it has been lifted now. Sorry for the inconvenience, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 04:07, 15 March 2009 (UTC)Reply
