Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Jsmith4500. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Branden Durst, 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. Mako001 (C) (T)  🇺🇦 22:53, 6 May 2023 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Branden Durst. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Mako001 (C) (T)  🇺🇦 00:37, 7 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Why revert me adding an image and running ReFill? That is flat out disruptive. Mako001 (C) (T)  🇺🇦 00:38, 7 May 2023 (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 Branden Durst. Mako001 (C) (T)  🇺🇦 00:39, 7 May 2023 (UTC)


 * Quit changing this page. It has been corrected repeatedly. Jsmith4500 (talk) 00:41, 7 May 2023 (UTC)
 * What on earth are you trying to do? No explanation, nothing. Just reverting everyone who ever edits that page like you WP:OWN it. What is your reason for Edit warring with everyone else on that page? Mako001 (C) (T)  🇺🇦 00:42, 7 May 2023 (UTC)
 * "Corrected repeatedly" = "I have been edit warring against multiple users to preserve the version I want, regardless of Wikipedia policy or objections from others". Correct? Based on the edit history of that page, you have been basically just reverting anyone else who edits the page.
 * "Quit changing this page": As long as you keep on breaking Wikipedia policy, namely WP:Neutral point of view, WP:Reliable sources, WP:Verifiability and WP:COI, you cannot expect that page to be left alone. Are you being paid for this? If so, you are required by the Terms of Service to declare it. Mako001 (C) (T)  🇺🇦 00:48, 7 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I am not being paid. I am monitoring this page because I have found that it is regularly altered by those who wish to misrepresent the person in question. You can look at the many edits to this page to see that they are largely slanderous in nature. I will continue to undo edits that are made to misrepresent facts. Jsmith4500 (talk) 00:55, 7 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I see no slander. I actually removed some material that violated the WP:BLP policy, which is a sort of "Anti-slander" policy.
 * What is being misrepresented? How? Please explain. Mako001 (C) (T)  🇺🇦 01:00, 7 May 2023 (UTC)
 * The whole legal section is without evidence and is full of conjecture. It should not be included. If it is re-added, it will be deleted. Jsmith4500 (talk) 01:02, 7 May 2023 (UTC)
 * It is sourced according to WP:RS and WP:RSBLP. That is sufficient evidence. It is not full of conjecture, it simply states information found in sources, such as: https://idahocapitalsun.com/briefs/idaho-superintendent-candidate-found-in-contempt-of-washington-court Mako001 (C) (T)  🇺🇦 01:06, 7 May 2023 (UTC)
 * That website is not reliable. It would be like citing the National Enquirer. Jsmith4500 (talk) 01:54, 7 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Why do you keep adding the BLP violating material about his wife and kids? Mako001 (C) (T)  🇺🇦 03:20, 7 May 2023 (UTC)
 * How is that BLP violating material? It is permitted in stub of this kind. My last edit was minimal and I explained why. I kept most of your previous edits. Jsmith4500 (talk) 03:56, 7 May 2023 (UTC)
