Welcome!
Hello, LPDglobal, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent contributions, such as your edit to the page Daniel Amen, seem to be advertising or for promotional purposes. Wikipedia does not allow advertising. For more information on this, please see: If you still have questions, there is a new contributors' help page, or you can.

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, LPDglobal. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the article Daniel Amen, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. Editing for the purpose of advertising or promotion is not permitted. 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, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the request edit template);
 * disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * 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 must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Grayfell (talk) 22:04, 4 January 2018 (UTC)


 * Hello, thank you for your concern. Not sure if this was an automatic reply, but there's no conflict of interest here on my end.  Just adding missing information based on news sources. Everything is sourced appropriately I believe.  Thanks again! — Preceding unsigned comment added by LPDglobal  (talk • contribs) 22:15, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks for replying to the message above.  Quick notes on the logistics of discussing things on Talk pages, which are essential for everything that happens here.


 * In Talk page discussions, we "thread" comments by indenting - when you reply to someone, you put a colon in front of your comment, which the Wikipedia software will render into an indent when you save your edit; if the other person has indented once, then you indent twice by putting two colons in front of your comment, which the WP software converts into two indents, and when that gets ridiculous you reset back to the margin (or "outdent") by putting this in front of your comment. This also allows you to make it clear if you are also responding to something that someone else responded to if there are more than two people in the discussion; in that case you would indent the same amount as the person just above you in the thread.  I hope that all makes sense.


 * And at the end of the comment, please "sign" by typing exactly four (not 3 or 5) tildas "~" which the WP software converts into a date stamp and links to your talk and user pages when you save your edit.


 * It is through indenting and signing that we know who said what to whom. Please follow these conventions.  Thanks.  Will reply on the substance in a moment. Jytdog (talk) 22:24, 4 January 2018 (UTC)


 * OK, so thanks again for reply to the conflict of interest notice. The notice does not ask you to evaluate whether or not you have a conflict of interest.  Would you please disclose if you have any connection with Amen or his clinics, publishers, etc, directly or through a third party (e.g. a PR agency or freelance relationship)?  Your editing makes it very likely that this is the case, and disclosure is the first step of the conflict of interest management process. Please reply and make the disclosures. Thanks.

 * Hello again, thank you for the information and guidelines. To be clear, as I stated previously there is no conflict of interest here. I've actually never met the subject of the page nor work for him. I'm confused as to why the page keeps flagging it as such. Which material that was cited is believed to be inaccurate or looks like some sort of advertisement? I've included third-party sources to verify the information is accurate and thus also ensures it is not self-promotion or false.  Thanks again for your help.LPDglobal (talk) 22:37, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
 * When you reply, please indent one more time than the person before you, so that comments are threaded.
 * Again I did not ask you to evaluate if you a conflict of interest, I asked you to disclose any connection you have with Amen, his clinics, his publishers, etc. Having met him is only one kind of connection. Please do answer the question I asked.  Thanks.  Jytdog (talk) 22:51, 4 January 2018 (UTC)


 * I'm not understanding the issue here. I cannot disclose any connection I have with Amen, because like I said, I don't have any.  Likewise, please answer the question I asked regarding the content being inaccurate or an advertisement, which part fits that classification as you've claimed?  Also, am I speaking with a wiki representative or another user?LPDglobal (talk) 23:08, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
 * There is no "wiki representative". We are all users.  Again the question I asked was if you have any connection with Amen, his clinic, his publishers, etc.  There is a huge money-making enterprise around him.  And yes your edits were promotional.  We can discuss the content later. Jytdog (talk) 23:14, 4 January 2018 (UTC)


 * That's what I thought. If that's the case, then these comments from another user sound suspicious, do you have a conflict of interest with his competitors?  I myself have no relation to his clinic, his publisher, or any other entity associated with him, and nor do I have a vested interest in his competitors either. I do not know much about the subject at hand, but I suspect there's a reason you are ambitious to prevent edits to this page. Again, as I've asked several times, what are the specific issues with the content I've included? I am newer to wikipedia, but I do know that I can report harassment if that's indeed what's happening here.LPDglobal (talk) 23:23, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
 * This thread is not about the content; we discuss content on the article talk page. This thread and the one below about your username are about your behavior here; that is what user talk pages are for.  You have not answered the questions yet, here or below. Please do. Jytdog (talk) 23:58, 4 January 2018 (UTC)


 * Yes, this thread isn't about others, it's about you. Your talk page is appropriate for this discussion. Those with whom you are conversing are experienced and trusted Wikipedia editors with an established history. You, on the other hand, are not. This conversation isn't about them, it's about you. You are new here, and you have violated multiple policies and guidelines with your edits, namely Edit warring, WP:NPOV, WP:NOTPROMOTION, WP:LEAD come immediately to mind. Please understand that your activity so far has the fingerprints of a paid editor, so it is only natural that people will ask you about that. But when challenged, you cast aspersions on others because they are not a "wiki representative". Well, here's news for you: We are all Wiki representatives. The project is run by the community of editors here. You have to work with the community. ~Anachronist (talk) 01:02, 5 January 2018 (UTC)

Edit war warning
Your recent editing history at Daniel Amen shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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 BRD 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 your 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.
