April 2023[edit]

Your recent editing history 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; read about 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.

I don't understand why my second edit of "Draft: Merged Reality" was rejected. Your first rejection indicated that the article read too much like an essay and that it needed to read more like an encyclopedia entry. I attempted to follow you advice in the second draft and only included text that was supported by secondary reliable sources and eliminated anything that contained opinions or original research. In fact, every sentence is supported by secondary source. Can you provide any more guidance or suggestions? This is my first Wikipedia post. While I am a professional writer, I've never worked on an encyclopedia. Your feedback/guidance is greatly appreciated. MichaelBlumberg (talk) 20:58, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

So have many other software vendors including www.CareAR.com, www.ifs.com, www.servicepower.com, and www.xmreality.com, and numerous others. I also have feature articles published in industry trade journals including www.fieldservicenews.com and www.fieldtechnologiesonline.com. MichaelBlumberg (talk) 17:36, 29 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You should read WP:COI and WP:PAID, it seems you have been violating Wikipedia's terms of use. MrOllie (talk) 17:38, 29 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
