Be careful editing when you have a connection to the subject
Hello, Difulton. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Autism Research Institute, 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.
 * Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
 * 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.

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. —C.Fred (talk) 03:27, 21 March 2014 (UTC)

Warning
You are engaged in tendentious editing advancing a fringe point of view. This is unacceptable per Wikipedia policies. As an editor with no other interests on Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing without further warning if this continues. Guy (Help!) 16:51, 10 May 2014 (UTC)

Blocked
In addition to the above, we now find, thanks to Sockpuppet investigations/Difulton, that you have been using multiple accounts. I have blocked this account until you give a full accounting of yourself and tell us how you intend to change in future. Guy (Help!) 19:45, 10 May 2014 (UTC)

I am not sure if you have read this yet but you should probably read WP:SOCK and WP:MEAT — Preceding unsigned comment added by The Newspaper (talk • contribs) 02:52, 14 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Question If unblocked, can you give an example of an edit you'd like to make? OhNo itsJamie Talk 23:07, 3 December 2014 (UTC)


 * The main reason I'm asking for the unblock is that I would like to discuss with editors via the talk pages about potentially changing the current "redirect" for Autism Research Institute to go to its founder's page, rather than the DAN! page. I don't intend to make any edits to ARI-related articles once I'm unblocked, and I don't have any plans right now to edit other articles, but I can imagine that I might occasionally be able to correct a typo in articles or add a reference if I find a useful link. Again, this would only be for articles where I have absolutely no conflict of interest. Difulton (talk) 17:23, 4 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Hmm. "Unclear or misleading edit summaries"? I see nothing unclear about either your editing summaries or any other aspect of your editing. It seems perfectly clear what you were trying to do, and as was the case in your previous unblock request, your account of your intentions seems to me totally implausible. however, having declined one unblock request, I will leave this one to another administrator, and maybe you will be lucky enough to get one who is willing to give you the benefit of the doubt.

 * I understand you're not really going to be convinced by anything I say, but I do want to let you know: last time, I didn't know what I was doing and my edits weren't appropriate. I've learned more about Wikipedia since, and this time I would not make any edits to articles about ARI. However, I'd very much like the opportunity to be able to participate in discussions about the DAN! page. Difulton (talk) 23:00, 8 December 2014 (UTC)
