Conflict of interest
Hi Ozolman your edits to Regenerative medicine‎ were promotional of the Public Health & Longevity, a website focused on regenerative medicine. I'm giving you notice of our Conflict of Interest guideline and Terms of Use, and will have some questions for you below.

Hello, Ozolman. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies. Note that Wikipedia's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you.

Question
Wikipedia is a scholarly project, and like all scholarly endeavors, managing conflict of interest is essential for ensuring the integrity of Wikipedia and retaining the public's trust in it.

Please do read WP:COI, especially the section on Writing about yourself and your work. As in academia, conflict of interest in Wikipedia is managed via first by disclosure, and then by a form of peer review.

While I am not asking you to disclose your identity (anonymity is strictly protecting by out WP:OUTING policy) would you please disclose if you have some relationship with Public Health & Longevity? After you respond (and you can just reply below), perhaps we can talk a bit about editing Wikipedia, to give you some more orientation to how this place works. Thanks!

 * Hi yes just read through the COI article - see where I went wrong now! Ozolman (talk) 20:07, 16 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Please hold off editing further until we finish this discussion, thanks. Would you please disclose your relationship with Public Health & Longevity?  Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 20:40, 16 May 2015 (UTC)

Edit war warning
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Regenerative medicine. 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. Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; 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. Jytdog (talk) 20:39, 16 May 2015 (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.

Ozolman (talk) 20:44, 16 May 2015 (UTC) Hi whoops accidentally refreshed which I think resent the edit - didn't mean to edit twice - yes I do have some relationship with that organisation.

Ozolman (talk) 20:52, 16 May 2015 (UTC) Hi I've got a few questions :) 1) Would it be possible to open up a discussion on regenerative medicine to peer review some of those edits? 2) What if Public Health & Longevity's content was published by an external organisation (such as a peer reviewed scientific journal or elsewhere) would I then be able to cite it on wikipedia or would I have to rely on someone finding it by chance? 3) What am I allowed to edit on the regenerative medicine page - anything that doesn't reference work that I am affiliated with?

Best
 * First things first. Please finish the COI discussion above.  It is quite obvious who you are so, please just disclose it so we can move forward.  The more you avoid the conversation, the less gracious this is all going to be.  just be simple and direct.  Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 00:44, 17 May 2015 (UTC)

Hi Jytog I'm finding your language threatening I dont even know who you are or what authority you have or ejy you are talking to me or how you can message me or what rights I have or whether this conversation is private or whether you are storing it or what your motives are. This is my second time editing wikipedia ever so I am new to the concept of COI and was not aware of this before, wikipedias UX is very confusing for new editors. You recently said "While I am not asking you to disclose your identity (anonymity is strictly protecting by out WP:OUTING policy)" and are now demanding me to do so. I am very concerned about the above legitimacy of your motives and tempted to delete my account and not waste time on this any more.

I'm finding your language and conduct incredibly unprofessional and unempathetic and am disappointed with wikipedias service, could I speak to your supervisor? Thanks.
 * You don't understand how Wikipedia works (there are no "supervisors" here). I am not asking you to disclose your identity, but rather I am asking you to disclose your relationship with Public Health & Longevity - that is the "it" I was referring to above - sorry for the misunderstanding.   I would prefer to keep things simple and cordial.  Would you please describe your relationship with Public Health & Longevity?   That is all that is needed here as a first step. Thanks.
