Thank you, @Anupam:! I almost stopped enjoying being here, finding myself in the middle of a war, but your help in bringing it to an end and those tasty cookies make up for everything ;-) I see that you already have a well-deserved badge for the random acts for kindness, but receive my warm regards. BTW: signing up for the project, are there any small print obligations? I'd like to edit at my own pace, and I'd like to know if I need to commit myself to it more seriously than I can afford.

User:Pahario, thank you for your kind message and wishes. I really appreciate it. There is no fine print; you can just simply contribute to the project if and when you have time. I'm also grateful that my comments were helpful in ending the edit war! I hope this helps. With regards, Anupam^Talk 08:38, 26 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest[edit]

Hello, Pahario. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Neocatechumenal Way, 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. Thank you. Elizium23 (talk) 05:26, 5 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, @Elizium23:. I've read WP:COI. I hereby declare that I do not profit in any way (beside personal satisfaction on rare occasions) from the edits I make on Wikipedia. My level of commitment should make it pretty clear, since I would die of starvation if this was the case. I do not try to promote anything, and even if I did so regarding the Neocatechumenal Way, I would not profit in any way from that. All I try to do is to improve objectivity and general quality of the article. I wouldn't suspect you of a conflict of interest if you were to edit pages related to e.g. KoC in good faith. On the contrary, as a Knight you would probably know more about that reality than an average person, and your input would be valuable. Courtesies aside, what is your interest in quoting that article in the opening statement of Neocatechumenal Way instead of trying to refer to primary sources or entities with more authority than a single reporter (which would be a valid reference maybe for 8th paragraph)? To some it may appear as trying to increase ad revenue by trying to fool search engines, but I hope this is not the case. Pahario (talk) 12:40, 6 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

October 2020[edit]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Neocatechumenal Way; 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. Elizium23 (talk) 15:20, 8 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
