User talk:Justtheeditor1

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose their editing privileges. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to result in loss of your editing privileges. Thank you.-- VViking Talk Edits 13:53, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

COI
Hello, Justtheeditor1. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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.-- VViking Talk Edits 13:53, 10 July 2020 (UTC)

Mandatory paid editing disclosure
Hello Justtheeditor1. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are  required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Justtheeditor1. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. ~Anachronist (talk) 15:09, 28 June 2023 (UTC)


 * I appreciate your concern and the time you have taken to express it. However, I want to clarify that I have no undisclosed financial stake in the topics I edit on Wikipedia. Your assertion is based on a misunderstanding and I assure you, it is a far-fetched and incorrect assumption.
 * I am not compensated, either directly or indirectly, for my contributions to Wikipedia. My edits are made in good faith, with the aim of enhancing the content on Wikipedia for the benefit of all users, and are based on my knowledge and interests. I strive to uphold the principles of neutrality and verifiability in all my edits.
 * Furthermore, I am well aware of Wikipedia's policies on neutral point of view, what Wikipedia is not, and the prohibition of undisclosed paid advocacy. I firmly adhere to these principles, and I am committed to maintaining the integrity and reliability of Wikipedia.
 * I understand the seriousness of the issue you have raised and I respect the need to maintain transparency and avoid conflicts of interest. To reiterate, I have no financial affiliations or compensations related to the edits I make. I hope this clarifies any misconceptions and puts your concerns to rest.
 * I look forward to continuing to contribute to the Wikipedia community in a positive and beneficial manner. Justtheeditor1 (talk) 20:50, 28 June 2023 (UTC)

 * Thank you very much for your detailed feedback regarding the references for the draft Wikipedia article.
 * Your thorough explanation of the required criteria for sources is greatly appreciated, and I will certainly take these points into account as I strive to enhance the completeness of our article. The comment regarding the single reference from Furtherafrica.com is particularly helpful. I understand the importance of reliable and independent verification and will take additional care in selecting our references moving forward.
 * I look forward to revising and resubmitting the draft article after addressing these issues and ensuring our references fully meet Wikipedia's guidelines.
 * If I encounter any difficulties during this process or need further guidance, I’ll be sure to reach out via the Articles for creation help desk, your talk page, or Wikipedia's real-time chat help.

AfC notification: Draft:Remoteli has a new comment
 I've left a comment on your Articles for Creation submission, which can be viewed at Draft:Remoteli. Thanks! CNMall41 (talk) 22:43, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Do NOT remove comments from AfC submissions. Your actions are showing more and more that you potentially have a COI as it relates to this draft. As previously requested from others, I would ask you again read WP:COI and WP:PAID and make the appropriate disclosure if applicable. --CNMall41 (talk) 16:25, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Next removal of draft comment will be reported. You are free to opine on the draft of course, but removal of others comments is considered disruptive. --CNMall41 (talk) 18:57, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
 * I appreciate your reminder about the principles of respectful dialogue on Wikipedia. However, I would like to query your stance on maintaining a comment that is now known to be incorrect.
 * The purpose of our discussions here is to collaboratively create and improve content that is accurate, fair, and unbiased. Leaving an incorrect comment unaddressed may mislead other editors or readers, which is contrary to the essence of Wikipedia's mission. Justtheeditor1 (talk) 19:21, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Dear CNMall41,
 * I find your assertions to be troubling and, in my perspective, misleading. I'd like to clarify that I'm maintaining the utmost integrity in this discussion, as I believe the accuracy and fairness of Wikipedia's content are of paramount importance.
 * Your comment, which appears to be deliberately incorrect, could potentially influence other editors inaccurately. I would kindly urge you to consider revising your statement, knowing it has the potential to misguide the assessment of this draft.
 * Additionally, it's disconcerting that bias may be influencing these discussions. Wikipedia, as a global and neutral platform, should uphold its principles of fairness, impartiality, and equal representation for all subjects, regardless of origin or background.
 * For the last time, I assure you I have no conflict of interest as outlined in WP:COI or WP:PAID. Your repeated requests for disclosure seem to be founded on inaccurate assumptions, rather than objective evidence. I request that we refocus our efforts on ensuring the accuracy and fairness of the content, rather than making groundless allegations. Justtheeditor1 (talk) 19:20, 26 July 2023 (UTC)

July 2023
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Draft:Remoteli. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. ''Final warning. These comments are needed for other reviewers. If you disagree, you can certainly comment on the draft page for other reviewers to see as well (as told to you previously).'' CNMall41 (talk) 19:41, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
 * 1) Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

Blocks
 You have been blocked from editing for a period of 48 hours for edit warring and violating the three-revert rule. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text at the bottom of your talk page:. Ponyo bons mots 20:01, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Your repeated removal of a reviewer's comments at Draft:Remoteli is both incorrect and disruptive to the draft review process.-- Ponyo bons mots 20:01, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
 * What is your relationship to the account ?-- Ponyo bons mots 20:05, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Dear Ponyobons,
 * I appreciate your message and understand the decision to enforce a block based on the perceived edit warring. I do, however, feel compelled to express my perspective on this situation.
 * During this process, I have endeavored to maintain the integrity and accuracy of the content on Wikipedia. I have sought to correct an error that could mislead readers and other editors, and have continually provided clear evidence to support my case.
 * However, it seems that CNMall41 has chosen not to amend an incorrect comment, despite my efforts to demonstrate its inaccuracy. This unwillingness to ensure accuracy suggests a lack of commitment to the fundamental principles of Wikipedia, a platform that values factual information above all else.
 * I regret to express my growing concern about what appears to be unconscious biases among some individuals on this platform. When these biases are challenged, the reactions often include blocking, enlisting the support of other Wikipedia members, or taking action from alternative accounts.
 * While I don't object to the block you've instituted, as it proves a crucial point about the current environment on Wikipedia, I hope that this situation can spark a broader conversation about the importance of objectivity, accuracy, and transparency within the Wikipedia community.
 * Thank you for your time, and I look forward to contributing constructively to Wikipedia once the block expires. Justtheeditor1 (talk) 20:35, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
 * You didn't answer my question.-- Ponyo bons mots 20:42, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
 * It's quite disappointing, yet not entirely unexpected, that you've disregarded all the information provided, thereby validating my perspective. I have no connection to the account you've highlighted. However, it's fairly clear that there's a link between this account and CNMall41. Justtheeditor1 (talk) 21:20, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
 * So you're just two unrelated editors chasing the same paid editing contracts? That makes just as much sense I suppose.-- Ponyo bons mots 21:33, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
 * It's possible that we both share a commitment to ensuring that celebrities from ethnic minority backgrounds, along with their pursuits, receive equal and impartial consideration on Wikipedia
 * I believe it's time for me to end my interaction with you, CNMall41. It appears that you derive satisfaction from engaging in disagreements on Wikipedia, rather than other more productive endeavors. I remain hopeful that a person of greater integrity will step up in continuing the important work of ensuring step up to aid in the crucial work of preserving and enhancing the representation of celebrities from various ethnic backgrounds I wish you success in all your future endeavors. Justtheeditor1 (talk) 21:50, 26 July 2023 (UTC)

 You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abusing multiple accounts. Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but not for illegitimate reasons, and any contributions made while evading blocks or bans may be reverted or deleted. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text at the bottom of your talk page:. Ponyo bons mots 21:41, 26 July 2023 (UTC) The coordinated editing, whether through paid editing or individuals with an undisclosed conflict of interest is not allowed on Wikipedia. -- Ponyo bons mots 21:41, 26 July 2023 (UTC)

Unblock requests
Dear NinjaRobotPirate,

Thank you for outlining the concerns and the potential steps for unblocking. I'd like to take a moment to clarify a few points.

Regarding collaboration off-site, my group and I adhere to Wikipedia's policies on off-site collaboration. We understand the importance of transparency and are committed to complying with all community guidelines.

a) I understand that focusing on the issues rather than individuals is paramount, and I will continue to do so. b) It's not my intention to make wild accusations. I'm trying to present my point of view, and I welcome any constructive feedback. c) I can assure you that our collaboration is in line with Wikipedia's policies. d) As already stated, we are complying with the policy on off-site collaboration. e) I will continue to be respectful and open to dialogue with those who decline my drafts, as constructive collaboration is at the heart of Wikipedia.

I hope this clears up any misunderstandings, and I look forward to resolving this matter. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Justtheeditor1 (talk • contribs)

Someone else will review your request, but up above you denied being connected to other accounts, but in this request you seem to admit it. So were you lying then or are you lying now? 331dot (talk) 18:27, 27 July 2023 (UTC)

Dear 331dot,

As previously indicated, I have no affiliation with the user whose association was initially used as the basis for blocking my account. Initially, the block seemed to be predicated on the assumption that I was a paid contributor, and then, an alleged connection with the subjects of my edits was cited. However, there appears to be a lack of clear rationale or evidence supporting these charges. It seems more plausible that the original user reacted unfavorably to my calling out their bias and request for them to comment accurately on a page after providing them with factual evidence.

When I mentioned being part of a group of editors, I am referring to a collaborative effort to contribute to Wikipedia, not the operation of multiple accounts or any form of inappropriate behavior. Each of us within this group operates independently, using our own individual accounts, and we do not coordinate in a way that breaches Wikipedia's policy on sockpuppetry. The essence of my message remains that my contributions are done in good faith, with the aim of increasing the representation of diverse ethnicities within the platform.

Lastly, I must express my concern regarding the tone of your messages. There seems to be an inclination to quickly dismiss my explanations and assumptions about dishonesty. The overall pattern suggests an unfortunate dismissiveness, which does give me cause to worry about potential unconscious bias at play and your connection with CNMall41 and  Ponyo.

I would like to emphasize that everyone should strive for fair treatment, objectivity, and understanding, which are principles at the heart of Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Justtheeditor1 (talk • contribs)
 * Using the unblock template summons admins to look at your unblock request. That is likely where these new folks are coming from. – Novem Linguae (talk) 14:46, 28 July 2023 (UTC)


 * Dear Novem Linguae,
 * Thank you for your insight into the unblock process and clarifying the presence of new administrators reviewing my request. I appreciate your input, as it helps me understand the process better. If there's anything else you believe would be helpful for me to know or do during this process, please don't hesitate to share. Justtheeditor1 (talk) 19:05, 29 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Please describe exactly how you coordinate and how you select the subjects of your edits. You don't pick them at random. You are doing this in good faith, but your answers here have been evasive and you were dishonest or at least not completely honest with your initial statements in this area, you initially said "The user accused me of being a paid editor and made connections to another account without providing any proof" without saying that you are indeed connected to other accounts(even if done within policy as you claim). You even accuse others of using multiple accounts to act against you without hard evidence. I share your goal of increasing coverage of underrepresented areas of the encyclopedia, but you aren't helping yourself or that goal here. 331dot (talk) 11:05, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your response and for expressing your concerns. I want to clarify my position and address the misunderstandings.
 * Firstly, regarding the coordination of my edits, I assure you that I select subjects based on relevance, interest, and areas that need improvement. I'm committed to Wikipedia's mission and do not make selections at random.
 * As for the connections to other accounts, I must state that my initial comments may not have fully captured the nuances of the situation. While I do collaborate with others, I assure you that it is within Wikipedia's policy, and my intent was never to be dishonest. I am not associated with the particular account in question, which is the reason cited for my account being blocked.
 * Lastly, the accusations against others were not intended to deflect or deceive but were based on concerns I had at that time. I recognize that I may not have handled the situation optimally and appreciate your constructive criticism.
 * I share your dedication to enhancing Wikipedia's content and want to assure you that I am acting in good faith. Thank you for engaging in this dialogue, and I hope we can move forward constructively. Justtheeditor1 (talk) 09:59, 4 August 2023 (UTC)

To clarify, you are blocked, not banned, the two words are not synonyms here. 331dot (talk) 11:06, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
