March 2022 edit
Stop your pointless and inflammatory edit warring on the Opinion polling for the next New Zealand general election page. Abbreviations on that page are three letters and it is not bias to use three letters for an abbreviation like all the other parties. Also stop your accusations of bias where none exists.

{{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. Schwede66 20:20, 8 March 2022 (UTC)- I note that when people like Nixinova say Stop your crap, that appears to be offensive.
- I objected to NCP as an abbreviation. Nixinova advised me, while using that above phrase, that all of the parties had 3 letter abbreviations. If so then I have no disagreement. Please advise.
- If it is not then a parties correct abbreviation should be used, not Con, as recently by Pokelova, nor NCP. but rather NC.
- The previous issue was fairness of comparing Top and NC when they had the same results but only TOP was noted. Pokelova removed the table. I have no issues with that. Please take action against Pokelova if you want fairness or none. and advise Nixinova to use inoffensive language. Tedlawnz (talk) 21:21, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
- If you 'have no disagreement' then why did you revert me again. And what action should be taken against Pokelova? They removed TOP from that table like you wanted but you just replied that they were showing "extreme bias" by calling you out on your undisclosed conflict of interest and by using Newshub's abbreviation of "CON" – if you have an issue with Newshub take that up with them.

Conflict of interest edit
Googling your username brings up "Ted Johnston - New Conservative Party NZ". You seem to have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia; this is 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 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. You must disclose your conflict of interest before continuing editing topics related to NCP. Nixinova T C 21:20, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
COI edit
Ted, I am here to remind you once again not to edit articles related to yourself or your candidacy. If you want something changed, ask for it on the talk page and be very clear in who you are when you do. -- Pokelova (talk) 04:49, 30 July 2022 (UTC)
