Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Changaco. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Liberapay, 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, clients, 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 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 for disclosing your WP:COI. Please propose future changes on the talk page as stated at WP:COIEDIT.'' Yae4 (talk) 11:33, 15 February 2023 (UTC)


 * My COI is duly declared in the Talk page. Your reversal of my changes is rude and unjustified, I will restore them. Changaco (talk) 12:24, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Disclosing is one thing. These, from WP:COIEDIT are another:
 * you are strongly discouraged from editing affected articles directly;
 * you may propose changes on talk pages (by using the template), or by posting a note at the COI noticeboard, so that they can be peer reviewed;

Hello! I can see that you here have declared a conflict of interest, but from the message "This user has contributed to the article. This user has declared a connection." I am unable to discern what that connection is. --Bensin (talk) 12:37, 18 February 2023 (UTC)


 * I'm the founder of Liberapay. I have now updated the COI box so that it links to my declaration. -- Changaco (talk) 12:55, 18 February 2023 (UTC)

Nomination of Liberapay for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Liberapay, to which you have significantly contributed, is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or if it should be deleted.

The discussion will take place at Articles for deletion/Liberapay until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article.

To customise your preferences for automated AfD notifications for articles to which you've significantly contributed (or to opt-out entirely), please visit the configuration page. Delivered by SDZeroBot (talk) 01:01, 19 February 2023 (UTC)

February 2023
Your recent editing history at Liberapay 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&mdash;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&mdash;even if you do not violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.Edit warring, appears to be more than 3 reverts in 24 hours: Special:Diff/1140147492, Special:Diff/1140144706, Special:Diff/1140134983, Special:Diff/1140133555, Special:Diff/1140128108, Special:Diff/1140126970 Yae4 (talk) 03:22, 19 February 2023 (UTC)


 * You're the one who started an edit war and continued it even after a neutral third-party expressed their opinion that the changes I had made were "uncontroversial" and "should not have been reverted". I made time-consuming efforts to explain my changes, split them up and adapt them. On the other hand, you admitted, in the "justification" of your second reversal, that you hadn't even spent time to fully consider the value of some of my changes, partly because you believed that the Liberapay article might not meet Wikipedia's notability criteria and thus wasn't worthy of your time. Well, there's nothing forcing you to edit that article, so feel free to stop. Changaco (talk) 12:37, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
