User talk:Darepng

Hello, Darepng, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I notice that one of the first articles you edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or any other editor to proofread it. To start creating a draft article, just click your user name at the top of the screen when you are logged in, and edit that page as you would any other. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

The one firm rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. It is also worth noting that Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which specifically link them to one company or corporation. If your username does have such a name, it would be advisable for you to request a change of username.

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! You can also just type   on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Exiledone (talk) 18:51, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

Paul Gogarty
A SPA means Single Purpose Account and it refers to an editor who solely or primarily edits only one wikipedia article, meaning you and Paul Gogarty. I don't know what your relationship with Gogarty is but clearly you have one. Snappy (talk) 22:29, 3 March 2012 (UTC)

April 2012
Your recent editing history at Paul Gogarty shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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 don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Edit warring on Paul Gogarty
This is going to be a bit more blunt then i usually like to put things, but what on earth is this revision history supposed to be? Since the 29th of February there have been more then a 100 revisions to this particular page which are nothing more then reverts back and forth. I can find no evidence that there has been any discussion regarding this entire situation anywhere - nothing on the user talk pages, nothing on the article talk page, nowhere.

This situation is the definition of a very long time edit war. I opted against a plain block and instead fully protected the page for a week to make sure this stops, but can you both please use this time to at least try and get some form of discussion going regarding this? If external input is needed feel free to use a low-key dispute resolution process such as a third opinion to get a hand with this. Either way this constant reverting is plain useless and will likely result in a block in case this continues on the current course. Excirial ( Contact me, Contribs ) 18:43, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

Recent editing on Paul Gogarty
It is vandalism to remove an editors request for citation, but then not provide any citations. You edits have been reverted. Any further such behaviour will see you reported to the Administrators noticeboard. Snappy (talk) 18:24, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

Presumably the overall context of the edits will be looked at by the Adminstrators also. You were asked to engage on specific pieces through dialogue but instead chose to reverse many times.

I already posted on your page regarding willingness to amend items that linked to Paul Gogarty web page. You have not explained why you earlier removed additional paragraphs re: Callely or Expenses articles for example. The eventual inclusion of the Callely piece is welcome, however the expenses issue was also high profile and coverage in media is cited.

I have re-edited the version with what I think are the disputed areas that do not have "independent" citation, but have also included the piece on expenses. The piece about Cowen's appointment of a new cabinet has been removed in the interests of fairness and compromise, even though independent media citation has been identified.

What has been amended following on from your comments should cover all of the disputed paragraphs with the exception of one new cited area being included, which I think you cannot reasonably exclude on grounds of it being subjective.

Can the matter rest, now, please?

Paul Gogarty pic
Hi, that ice bucket challenge pic is unsuitable for an infobox image which should really be a head shot. However, if you really want to add that picture then add it some where in the body of the article, I won't object. Rgds, Snappy (talk) 15:59, 21 August 2014 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
