Hello! I noticed your contributions and wanted to welcome you to the Wikipedia community. I hope you like it here and decide to stay. You are welcome to edit anonymously; however, creating an account is free and has several benefits (for example, the ability to create pages, upload media and edit without one's IP address being visible to the public).

Managing a conflict of interest

edit

  Hello, 184.147.124.86. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page CopperheadOS, 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. — Newslinger talk 02:16, 27 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits referred to above, consider creating an account for yourself or logging in with an existing account so that you can avoid further irrelevant notices.
There's no conflict of interest. There are people working with the company or partners with the company editing the article from VPNs and refreshed dynamic IPs. I am one person and not hiding that fact. This is being misrepresented as someone edit warring / vandalizing the article for trying to make it an accurate, neutral article when the company is treating it as their marketing material. 184.147.124.86 (talk) 15:01, 15 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

Edit warring on CopperheadOS

edit

Please refrain from undoing edits without a valid concern on the appropriate Talk page. You have undid multiple revisions in less than 24 hours between July 13th and 14th with no reasons stated.

  You currently appear to be 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. 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.

Points to note:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
  2. 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 and 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. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.143.199.126 (talk) 19:59, 14 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

It's completely untrue that no reasons were stated. I am fixing the inaccuracies in the article. There are people trying to use it to market the operating systems with falsehoods and blog posts / press releases. It is completely inaccurate to keep claiming that the OS is source available when the sources are now only available via the partner network to approved partners. Take a look at the Microsoft Windows page. Trying to portray this as me vandalizing the article or an edit war when you're using VPNs / refreshing dynamic IPs / sockpuppets is incredibly hypocritical. 184.147.124.86 (talk) 14:59, 15 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
Which inaccuracies? Provide evidence to back up your claims. A blog post or news source that you don't agree with does not make it inaccurate. 24.114.105.217 (talk) 20:01, 21 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
