Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Jsmalayama. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Daniel Kolenda, 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 article subjects 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 edit COI template)—don't forget to give details of reliable sources supporting your suggestions;
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see );
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see );
 * 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. &#126; ToBeFree (talk) 23:50, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use your sandbox for that. Thank you. ... disco spinster   talk  19:40, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia without adequate explanation, as you did at Daniel Kolenda, you may be blocked from editing. CodeTalker (talk) 19:44, 30 May 2024 (UTC)


 * The removal of the aforementioned section was conducted in accordance with Wikipedia's guidelines and policies. The content in question was demonstrably false, defamatory, and lacked credible substantiation. Such material constitutes a violation of Wikipedia's standards for the biographies of living persons and is inherently libelous. Therefore, the deletion was both necessary and justified to prevent the dissemination of harmful and unlawful information. Jsmalayama (talk) 23:04, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
 * If it is demonstrably false, please demonstrate how it is false. Simply stating it is false is not an adequate rationale for removing content. Adam Black  talk &bull;  contribs 23:22, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
 * The claim in question lacks any factual basis and is entirely unsubstantiated. Conversely, there is ample evidence and numerous statements from the subject that directly contradict the false claim. For example, near the end of his podcast about the NAR (cannot add link to YouTube here). The absence of any verifiable sources to support the claim, combined with the availability of credible evidence to the contrary, underscores the necessity of its removal to comply with Wikipedia's standards for the biographies of living persons and to prevent the perpetuation of defamatory content. Jsmalayama (talk) 23:37, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
 * There are, in fact, three sources attached to the claims. You claim "the availability of credible evidence to the contrary" - provide it. Note that a person's own podcast on YouTube would not, as a primary source, be considered reliable enough to dispute multiple secondary sources. Open a discussion on the talk page for the article (Talk:Daniel Kolenda) but do not remove referenced content without providing any evidence. Adam Black  talk &bull;  contribs 23:43, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
 * The article says, "This is due to his defense of the "little-god theology", which presupposes that Christians have the potential to become divine (or God-like) creatures" The citation offered in support of this claim (https://arcapologetics.org/are-christians-little-gods/) says nothing about Kolenda, and offers no evidence of anything he has said which would suggest he teaches "little god theology." Jsmalayama (talk) 23:45, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
 * The first reference clearly mentions Kolenda. Having reviewed this source, though, it may be unreliable and I cannot find a second reliable source to corroborate the information presented. Therefore, I will restore your edit and remove the section entirely. However, please take the time to review Wikipedia's policies. If you are going to remove sourced content, please provide a valid rationale (such as, the source is unreliable, contradicted by a reliable source, etc.) or open a discussion on the talk page if your edit is likely to be controversial.

 * Understood Jsmalayama (talk) 02:25, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Hello and, thank you both very much. Jsmalayama, you may be correct (I didn't check that source and have no opinion on whether the statement currently under discussion is verifiable). However, your approach so far has been practically edit warring, even if exemptions applied to your edits. It would be extremely beneficial if a discussion section about this existed at Talk:Daniel Kolenda, and anyone can create it and invite the others to it – for example, using Please see as a neutral notification on the user talk page of those disagreeing about whether the material should be included. Without such a discussion, it is unlikely that a consensus will be found; without such a consensus, your contributions are far more likely to be overwritten or reverted by other editors, the edit warring may never stop and the whole situation becomes more and more disruptive. So please open Talk:Daniel Kolenda, click "Add topic" at the top and describe your position in that central place. If you'd like me to notify the others on your behalf afterwards, please let me know. &#126; ToBeFree (talk) 00:26, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Oh, and:, do you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for your edits? &#126; ToBeFree (talk) 00:30, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
 * No. Not at all Jsmalayama (talk) 02:23, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Okay, thanks for the clarification!
 * Regarding the account, I assume that if this was yours, you completely abandoned it and simply didn't know how to rename or lost access. In case "Raulton4878" was you, you may need to disclose having edited as "Raulton4878" before on your user page (the currently-red link behind your new username). Knowingly operating two accounts in parallel or using them to avoid scrutiny would be a form of sockpuppetry. &#126; ToBeFree (talk) 07:55, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you remove or blank page content or templates from Wikipedia without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary, as you did at Daniel Kolenda. Adam Black talk &bull;  contribs 23:20, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

Divorce
Why was Kolenda's divorce in 2022 removed? Why not add back and add his new marriage in 2023 to the page? This is factual, and relevant info especially for a pastor. 2600:8802:B0D:9500:E8A2:CD95:7BCD:3AA1 (talk) 20:32, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
