Hello, I'm Oshwah. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Boycott seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   17:03, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

I made the edits because I was concerned that the original text was not neutral. I changed it to include additional context that I think readers would find helpful in appreciating the nuance of this issue. For example, Nazism was a movement that spread "across Europe and North Africa," but to describe it that way in a wikipedia article would be a disingenuous distraction from important historical context. For that reason, I think it's too simplistic to call BDS a "worldwide" movement. Also, I'm not sure what the evidence is for the "civil society" element and why that descriptor is supposedly the most "neutral." Finally, I think it's important to mention that many people consider the movement to be antisemitic, i.e., a movement to deny Jews the right of self-determination in their historic homeland. BDS is not mainstream and it is not without controversy. Ignoring that nuance in the name of whitewashed neutrality serves neither the readers nor true neutrality.

Hello, I'm Contributor321. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Arent Fox, but you didn't provide a reliable source.

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, 199.107.16.121. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Richard M. Berman, 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 Conflict of interest);
 * 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 Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. TJRC (talk) 22:12, 27 February 2020 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at Richard M. Berman. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose their editing privileges. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. 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. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to result in loss of your editing privileges. Thank you.
