July 2018

Hello, I'm Cordless Larry. I noticed that you made one or more changes to an article, Justice for Men and Boys, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

I don't think a source is necessary for every single word in Wikipedia. Any organization that is looking out for the rights of a defined set of people (be they black, women, Christian, African, white or male) is by definition caring about human rights. KarenBrittworth (talk) 13:42, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If we took that approach, then we would define all political parties as being based on defending human rights, so it seems a bit meaningless. In any case, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and simply reports what other sources have said about topics, so this requires evidence in the form of references.

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, KarenBrittworth. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Justice for Men and Boys, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI 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, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
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 must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Cordless Larry (talk) 08:15, 12 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

July 2018 (second entry)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Mike Buchanan (politician). Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Please discuss at the talk page. --The Vintage Feminist (talk) 14:15, 12 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

July 2018 (third entry)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add defamatory content, as you did at Talk:Mike Buchanan (politician), you may be blocked from editing. I only just spotted your edit 849914237 in which you said, "Please note that the disagree comment below was made days in advance of the article deletion. The article was deleted by The Vintage Feminist and, since the party on the article is openly anti-feminist, this person could not be said to be supporting Wikipedia's neutral point of view on this matter." If you wish to mention another editor on an article talk page let them know e.g. [[User:The Vintage Feminist|The Vintage Feminist]] otherwise you are talking about them behind their back. Your comments about me have been placed in a collapsible box and marked as inappropriate as per WP:RPA (comments ought to be signed WP:SIGHOW). --The Vintage Feminist (talk) 02:18, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Notifying other users

Hi Karen, thanks for notifying me about the Teahouse discussion. However the way it is usually done is to post a link within the discussion so instead of typing:

There was a proposal for merging the article on this party with an article on it's founder. One person Agreed with some comments, another simply agreed and I disagreed. Days after I started to improve the article, a user with the name "The Vintage Feminist" deleted the article.

it would be:

Days after I started to improve the article, a user with the name "[[User:The Vintage Feminist|The Vintage Feminist]]" deleted the article.

The editor will then receive a notification that they have been "mentioned" in a discussion with a link to that discussion. Then there is no need to leave a message on the editor's talk page. One final note, talk messages are usually added to the bottom of a talk page rather than the top, see: Help:Talk pages#Starting a new thread for a guide to starting a new thread. Hope that's helpful. --The Vintage Feminist (talk) 13:58, 14 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
