If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see
Not a bad idea now considering the current edit war happening after repeated vandalism occurred starting December 2020, which has now escalated to threats of blocking. Flyerman770 (talk) 06:19, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
Notice of Conflict of interest noticeboard discussion
There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard regarding a possible conflict of interest incident with which you may be involved. Thank you.
Managing a conflict of interest
- 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. --- Possibly (talk) 05:45, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
March 2021
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:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
- 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. --- Possibly (talk) 06:10, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
Advice
It is pretty clear that you have a strong conflict of interest with your editing. Since you are now edit warring, you can expect to be blocked fairly quickly should you continue. At that point you will not be able to edit any pages on Wikipedia, other than this talk page. please stop edit warring and explain your conflict of interest. -- Possibly (talk) 06:12, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
Thank you for your advice.
Actually, this page was fairly dormant for some time, and was sporadically updated.
Around December of this past year, an anonymous vandal (anonymous IP) began vandalizing the page on a recurring basis, moving one section to the top of the page, and also adding information about the subject's previous obesity(!!).
At that point a edit war began.
It is not a war I started, nor a war I can stop.
But I will now take a week-long break from the war, and wait and see if the vandals continue their vandalism or not.
Have a great day, and thank you again for your advice. Flyerman770 (talk) 06:17, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks. It seems you have a conflict of interest that you have not explained. Could you tell us if you know Sholom Shuchat in any way? This is the only page you have edited for several years. --- Possibly (talk)
Yes. Indeed I know him, we (used to) pray in the same synagogue, where I got to know him, and I asked him for information which he provided, and from which I made this Wikipedia page. I didn't know that counts as a COI.
I did not hide anything, I posted his conviction and sourced it.
One of the anonymous vandals is (probably) from the same synagogue, as not many people would have known about his weight loss surgery (which the vandal repeatedly wrote), and the celebration he did in the synagogue 2 years after the surgery...
