Wikics template edit

Hi Dwarden! I've just created a new template to indicate English Wikipedia users who also contribute to the Czech Wikipedia.

Template:User wikics

Feel free to add it to your userboxes if you like it (and if you actually contribute). Another comment—it is more common to place your userboxes (Babel) on your user page, not talk page. Happy Easter. Daniel Šebesta (talkcontribs) 13:05, 14 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

Disambiguation link notification for July 18 edit

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited VBS2, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page BI (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

I see you created the article VBS1 could you add references to the page. There are none. They are needed for wikipedia. You can view this tutorial for better use of wiki in the future. WP:TWACKY2250 ταικ 18:21, 3 November 2013 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned non-free image File:Vbs1 advanced.gif edit

 

Thanks for uploading File:Vbs1 advanced.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:54, 30 August 2019 (UTC)Reply

Issuing level 1 warning about removing AfD template from articles before the discussion is complete. (Peachy 2.0 (alpha 8)) edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles, or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion debates, as you did with VBS3. Otherwise, it may be difficult to create consensus. If you oppose the deletion of an article, please comment at the respective page instead. This is an automated message from a bot about this edit, where you removed the deletion template from an article before the deletion discussion was complete. If this message is in error, please report it.—cyberbot ITalk to my owner:Online 23:11, 6 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

Managing a conflict of interest edit

  Hello, Dwarden. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Bohemia Interactive Simulations, 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. Since no one has left this message so far that I can see, beyond the disruptive editing you are doing in regards to removing AFD templates, you must absolutely stop your COI edits related to BIS and related properties. -- ferret (talk) 23:21, 6 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hello, i'm not in conflict interest as i'm not employed (nor wasn't) by BISIM nor linked to theirs VBS products

i just have the knowledge about subject and history covered in articles VBS1 VBS2 VBS3 Bohemia Interactive Simulations

i wrote the original articles in 2005 and later updated with the sources cited as it was requested later by wikipedia new policies

yet someone claims there are no sources listed, that's not true, where i could find sources, the links were included and put into cited/reference

please note the same person got denied speedy deletion of the VBS 1,2,3 article already by admins yet he still removed them and replaced with forward to wrong company

Lordtobi's edits are perfectly valid. As Goldenring noted in declining the speedy deletess, the criteria for a G11 speedy delete was not met. Goldenring concluded with saying that AFD was the next step, and that has now happened. You have a clear relationship with Bohemia Interactive that can be easily demonstrated, and that COI expands to all related companies and products, even if the company has since been spun off to be independent. Please do not edit anything remotely related to BI again. Nearly your entire history of edits is COI editing with BI products/organizations, and the only reason I haven't blocked you is that no one gave you any notice prior to mine. -- ferret (talk) 23:40, 6 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hello, Bohemia Interactive =! Bohemia Interactive Simulations, two completely different separate companies

(talk) 0:45, 7 December 2019 (UTC)

I'll repeat myself one more time, but otherwise have nothing else to say at this point. You can heed or not: You have a clear relationship with Bohemia Interactive that can be easily demonstrated, and that COI expands to all related companies and products, even if the company has since been spun off to be independent. Please do not edit anything remotely related to BI again. Nearly your entire history of edits is COI editing with BI products/organizations, and the only reason I haven't blocked you is that no one gave you any notice prior to mine. -- ferret (talk) 23:40, 6 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

another person failing to read, different companies ... no relationship— Preceding unsigned comment added by Dwarden (talkcontribs) 23:50, 6 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

Besides the fact that you are changing your posts after I've replied to them, no, you are the one failing to read. I'm well aware that BI does not own BISIM at this time, but they originally did. The one failing to read is you: Any and all topics, broadly construed to be related to BI and its subsidiaries, including ones that have since been sold, it's a COI for you. Heed, or not. -- ferret (talk) 23:56, 6 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

i didn't change my posts check > the history of edits what i actually edited before trying claim something like that

also take look at the age of the articles (14 and 13 years)

the articles in question are about VBS / BISIM not BI
