Or, you can just type   on this 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!

A few editing essays/guidelines/rules articles you should check out
Joe: I realize that you're editing account here is fairly new. Based on some of your recent edits, I'm going to recommend that you check out these pieces before editing further:
 * Help:Edit summary explains why you should always include an edit summary to explain the reason for your edit.
 * WP:BRD explains the Bold, Revert, Discuss cycle of editing - basically, that if you boldly do an edit and someone undoes it, you don't just go and make the same edit again. That leads toward edit warring.
 * WP:COI is our guideline on editing when you have a conflict of interest. You may wish to review that guideline, see if you have a conflict of interest on some of the material you've been editing, and if so, address your edits appropriately.

I hope these help!

 * My personal talk page is not the appropriate place to discuss editing of the article. If you go to Talk:Rocky De La Fuente, you will find the extant discussion where consensus was achieved. You should not change that material until you further the discussion and achieve a new consensus in support of your planned content. --Nat Gertler (talk) 00:55, 28 October 2019 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at 2020 Republican Party presidential primaries. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Jeb3 Talk at me here What I've Done 13:24, 28 October 2019 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Joewendt. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Rocky De La Fuente, 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. JesseRafe (talk) 19:24, 29 October 2019 (UTC)


 * Forgive me for my earlier email; I had missed that you made this disclosure here. Having done that, I can now speak publicly. You are an announced candidate for the office of president, and thus have a strong conflict of interest on any articles dealing with the 2020 presidential elections and the candidates therein. You are an officer in the Reform Party, and thus have a conflict of interest on any article regarding the Reform Party. Your conflicts are strong and need to be noted, no matter how fair and even-handed you may think you're being. --Nat Gertler (talk) 13:27, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Conflict of interests can only occur after nominations are finalized and candidates obtain ballot access. Furthermore, based on the logic given, then only registered Democrayt can edit the Republican Party page, which is by definition a conflict of interest as they have an incentive to negatively portray the group. Furthermore, at least one editor has demonstrated a negative bias toward one candidate, to the point of arbitrarily deleting his section for the 2016 US Presidential election page and justifying said action with a criteria that is contrary to the consensus that allowed said candidate to be listed, and said editorshould therefore also be prohibited for editing anything regarding the elections --Joewendt (talk) 13:27, 30 October 2019 (UTC)

Your recent edits to User talk:Joewendt could give Wikipedia contributors the impression that you may consider legal or other "off-wiki" action against them, or against Wikipedia itself. Please note that making such threats on Wikipedia is strictly prohibited under Wikipedia's policies on legal threats and civility. Users who make such threats may be blocked. If you have a dispute with the content of any page on Wikipedia, please follow the proper channels for dispute resolution. Please be sure to comment on content, not contributors, and where possible make specific suggestions for changes supported by reliable independent sources and focusing especially on verifiable errors of fact. Thank you. JesseRafe (talk) 20:40, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

I have yet to see any action against the individual who is accusing me of a conflict of interest nor have I received an apology. Good day

Your recent editing history at 2016 United States presidential election 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. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for 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 don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. – Muboshgu (talk) 03:06, 30 October 2019 (UTC)

Muboshgu I am not engaged in an edit war, rather I am correcting an effort by some who wish to retroactively implement an unfair standard. The content in question was intially removed due to an arbitrary decision by an editor who decided to reinterpret what qualifies as a major third party candidate, when no consensus was discussed in the edit talk forthe 2016 United States Presidential election page. Additionally, the editor in question claims I have a bias, even though the edits I made were to tidy the section. In other words, I am not in an edit war, others are. User:Joewendt (talk)
