I'm not trying to blank anything I am just not familiar with editing pages and using the "talk" features. Some of these deleted reference links are cited elsewhere in the article or lead to dead links. I edited her electoral history and early education for clarity. Nowhere have I made any substantive or biased changes.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Robhart9c (talkcontribs) 22:31, 13 February 2015 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop your disruptive editing, as you did at Aravella Simotas ‎ . Your edits have been reverted or removed.

Do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive until the dispute is resolved through consensus. Continuing to edit disruptively may result in your being blocked from editing. Stop editing the file and discuss the edits on the talk page. This is the third time you have mad emajor COI edits to the article. Per BRD you should have discussed this on the talk page after the first undo, and because of you rconflict of interest you should not be making any major edits yourself. If you continue I will raise this issue on the conflict of interest board. Meters (talk) 22:33, 13 February 2015 (UTC)Reply

if you had bothered to read the conflict of interest message I left on your page before deleting it you would have found the links that explain how to dela with this problem. Meters (talk) 22:35, 13 February 2015 (UTC)Reply

  This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard regarding a possible conflict of interest incident in which you may be involved. Thank you. Meters (talk) 23:00, 13 February 2015 (UTC)Reply

COI warning

edit

  Hello, Robhart9c. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

  • Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
  • Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
  • Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies. Note that Wikipedia's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. Jytdog (talk) 23:08, 13 February 2015 (UTC)Reply

Edit war warning

edit
 

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Aravella Simotas. 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.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

  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.

In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. While edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount and can lead to a block, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; 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.

I've explained BRD, and I've informed you of the COI procedures, but you reverted again. It does ot matter if you think the edits are acceptable. In fact, they may well be acceptable, but you should not have made them in the first place, let alone repeatedly. Follow the procedure and explain what you want to do to the article on the talk page, so that editors who do not have a conflict of interest can decide if the edits should be made. Meters (talk) 23:12, 13 February 2015 (UTC)Reply

Heads up

edit

You are new here and you are behaving very badly. You are about an inch for getting blocked for edit warring, per the warning above.

More importantly, your behavior has led to the article being tagged for conflict of interest editing. This is not an improvement to the article, but as long as you continue to violate Wikipedia's Terms of Use and the WP:COI guidelines, the longer the tag will have to stay there.
