edit war warning
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on The Raben Group. 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. Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states: 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. While edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount and can lead to a block, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; 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. Jytdog (talk) 23:07, 28 March 2015 (UTC)
 * 1) Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

Thank you, Jytdog. I tried to find the forum but could not for some reason. As you can see, the anonymous user/other user continues to make edits. I've included some language for your review in the COI posting that you left me. Please let me know if I may upload it.

Notice of Conflict of interest noticeboard discussion
This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Conflict of interest/Noticeboard regarding a possible conflict of interest incident in which you may be involved. Thank you. Jytdog (talk) 23:11, 28 March 2015 (UTC)

HI
It appears that you might have a conflict of interest with regard to The Raben Group, so I am providing this notice to you.

Hello, Barredondo. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies. Note that Wikipedia's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you.

Would you please tell us if you have some relationship with that firm? Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 23:30, 28 March 2015 (UTC)

Hi Jytdog,

I do have a relationship with the firm. I was trying to make the edit fair for both parties, by saying this the below, with links to their information, as well as ours, as I believe falls within the COI policy. However, if I am wrong, I am happy to defer to you. The references are included below, as well.

In March 2015, The Raben Group was hired by Islamic Relief Worldwide. The charity works with international organizations and governments, such as Unicef and the World Food Programme. Despite some controversy and resistance from other foreign governments such as the Israelis and Russians, in late 2014, an audit found no evidence of links to terrorism. IRW is a member of the UN's Economic and Social Council and it is a signatory to the Code of Conduct for the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement.


 * thanks for replying! are you an employee or a contractor?  you don't need to give out any personal information; i am just trying to reckon the conflict and what the correct next steps are.   Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 00:13, 29 March 2015 (UTC)

Not at all! I'm not the anon one :) I'm an employee.

Thanks!
 * Great. OK, so what you need to do to comply with Terms of Use, is to put that on your user page, and avoid editing that article directly going forward.  You are very welcome to make suggestions on the Talk page.  All this is described in WP:COI.  You can make direct edits on very very simple factual stuff, like the number of employees (with sourcing of course) but please don't directly anything that might be controversial, broadly construed.  I am watching the article now and will be glad to work with you. Thanks again. Jytdog (talk) 01:15, 29 March 2015 (UTC)
