AnnieBee3, you are invited to the Teahouse!

Hi AnnieBee3! Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. Be our guest at the Teahouse! The Teahouse is a friendly space where new editors can ask questions about contributing to Wikipedia and get help from experienced editors like 78.26 (talk). Visit the Teahouse We hope to see you there! Delivered by HostBot on behalf of the Teahouse hosts 16:01, 25 December 2020 (UTC)

Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Editing tutorial
• Picture tutorial
• How to write a great article
• Naming conventions
• Simplified Manual of Style
• Task Center – need some ideas of what kind of things need doing? Go here.

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

• Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
• Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
• Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
• No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
• If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
• Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
• Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

February 2021

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Dave Anthony; 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. bonadea contributions talk 21:56, 2 February 2021 (UTC)

Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Dave Anthony, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. bonadea contributions talk 19:06, 11 February 2021 (UTC)

As previously advised, your edits, such as the edit you made to Dave Anthony, give the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. You were asked to cease editing until you responded by either stating that you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits, or by complying with the mandatory requirements under the Wikimedia Terms of Use that you disclose your employer, client and affiliation. Again, you can post such a disclosure on your user page at User:AnnieBee3, and the template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=AnnieBee3|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. Please respond before making any other edits to Wikipedia. bonadea contributions talk 16:02, 18 February 2021 (UTC)

Please remember to assume good faith when dealing with other editors, which you did not do on Dave Anthony. Thank you. bonadea contributions talk 19:55, 18 February 2021 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Dave Anthony 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 do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
Please self-revert your latest edit. The IP has also edit warred, but not violated 3RR. bonadea contributions talk 20:31, 18 February 2021 (UTC)

You can seek dispute resolution in various ways, but you may not edit war, and you must remember to assume good faith on the part of other editors.

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, AnnieBee3. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Dave Anthony, 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. bonadea contributions talk 21:59, 2 February 2021 (UTC)

Your thread has been archived

Hi AnnieBee3! The thread you created at the Wikipedia:Teahouse, Edit warring, has been archived because there was no discussion for a few days (usually at least two days, and sometimes four or more). You can still find the archived discussion here. If you have any additional questions that weren't answered then, please feel free to .

Please stop adding unreferenced or poorly referenced biographical content, especially if controversial, to articles or any other Wikipedia page, as you did at Dave Anthony. Content of this nature could be regarded as defamatory and is in violation of Wikipedia policy. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. bonadea contributions talk 15:40, 7 March 2021 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you violate Wikipedia's biographies of living persons policy by inserting unsourced or poorly sourced defamatory or otherwise controversial content into an article or any other Wikipedia page, as you did at Dave Anthony. bonadea contributions talk 16:28, 7 March 2021 (UTC)

Teahouse is...

...a place to ask for help, but often has the unintended consequence of shining a spotlight on an article and an editor. At this point in time, you have been asked what your connection is to Dave, and if there is any, to explain that on your User page. Wikipedia is EXCEPTIONALLY touching about transparency for what it calls conflict-of-interest and undeclared-paid-editing. If you are in any way paid or compensated, rule is that you cannot edit the article itself, and can only propose changes on the Talk page, for non-involved editors to decide. Same for conflict of interest. See WP:PAID and WP:COI. If neither apply, if you are a person interested in Dave but do not know him or work for him, state that. David notMD (talk) 06:31, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

Some of the criticism pointed at you appears to be about content that is not adequately referenced. For biographies of living persons, Wikipedia is adamant that content be referenced. David notMD (talk) 06:56, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

Carry on, but cautiously. Don't edit war. At Talk page discussions, try to be concise. Editors who might agree with you could be turned off by a wall of text. Lastly, I suggest 'drop the stick.' It comes from Wikipedia guidance (Wikipedia:Drop the stick and back slowly away from the horse carcass) that sometimes the sane thing to do is walk away from a disagreement. This is not life and death. David notMD (talk) 06:56, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

User:David notMD Thanks! I replied to the editor on his/her talk page re: my non-relationship with Dave instead of posting it my user page. I fixed that. Now I'm on a break. :)
