Linux KERNEL
Please stop making disruptive edits on the Linux KERNEL page. Linux is a KERNEL, not an OS. It even says this in the Linux documentation. 185.217.158.63 (talk) 00:17, 1 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Can you please read the talk page? Quetstar (talk) 00:48, 1 March 2022 (UTC)


 * I think you should follow your own advice. Please revert the Linux kernel page back to the previous revision, and then *only revert the changes you specifically have an issue with that are related to the GNU additions* because you've reverted a lot of contributions which have nothing to do with these GNU additions, and it takes me a long time to restore them.

 * I have no intention of doing so, especially since the last user who edited the article before you came said that the edits were disruptive. You must use the dispute resolution mechanism if you want this matter to advance any further. Quetstar (talk) 21:40, 17 March 2022 (UTC)
 * As per your recommendation, I filed a dispute:  which you may wish to add to.

Please stop harassing me. Stop following me around Wikipedia and immediately reverting my edits for no reason. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 185.217.158.63 (talk) 19:11, 27 March 2022 (UTC)


 * And you were blocked because you were harassing me, so please stop contacting me immediately. Quetstar (talk) 19:41, 27 March 2022 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at FreeBSD, you may be blocked from editing. I have told you multiple times to stop harassing me, and you won't bully me into silence. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 185.217.158.63 (talk) 21:21, 27 March 2022 (UTC)
 * If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
 * If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Quetstar, this is just getting ridiculous now. Why have you reverted my edit on free software? GNU+Linux Mint contains proprietary software whereas Parabola GNU+Linux-libre is 100% free software, which is why I updated the example. 185.217.158.63 (talk) 19:49, 28 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Almost all Linux distros in the world have some proprietary software, but these are optional in most cases. For example, it is possible to use Debian without its non-free repos, which are disabled by default anyway. Quetstar (talk) 23:10, 28 March 2022 (UTC)


 * You dodged my question. Why not use a 100% free software GNU+Linux distro on an article about free software? Stop with your POV edits which are biased in favour of proprietary software. 185.217.158.63 (talk) 17:56, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Once again, most distros have some (mostly optional) proprietary content in them, but the majority of the content in those is free software. Quetstar (talk) 18:10, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

April 2022 edit reverts
Hello Quetstar,

I hope you see that all of my edits are done in good faith and in an effort to make positive contributions to the Wikipedia community. Would you mind clarifying in detail what your recommendations are for neutralizing the tone of the edits you reverted for the Oracle Cloud Enterprise Resource Planning and Diligent Corporation pages? Also, do you see any issues with any of the sourcing that I may have missed, and if so, can you please name the sources?

If you would, please kindly reply on both of the respective talk pages you saw issues with, and also ping me and all who have disclosed their COI, so that we may have an open conversation and come to a consensus as a community. Thank you so much for your attention to this, Heartmusic678 (talk) 11:44, 5 April 2022 (UTC)


 * @Heartmusic678: The problem is that you seem to implement COI requests wholesale, without checking the reliability of the sources, the neutrality of the text, and the overall necessity of them, as well as undue weight issues. I would also like to state that @Hipal reverted your edits on the FreedomWorks article for similar reasons. I have no intention to take this to the talk pages nor ping any COI editors. Quetstar (talk) 19:12, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Ok. Heartmusic678 (talk) 19:56, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
 * @Heartmusic678: I have read the discussion with @Hipal and wholly agree on what they said. Please be more careful on the COI space in the future, as it is an easy way to manipulate unsuspecting editors. I will also say that I never doubted of your good faith, you just need to review them more thorougly and check the sourcing to see if it is reliable or not. Hope that resolves your matter. Quetstar (talk) 23:52, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Ok thank you, and I will. Heartmusic678 (talk) 15:44, 6 April 2022 (UTC)

Amgen COI edit request
Hi! I replied to your comment at Talk:Amgen if you have a moment to take a look. Thank you! Mary Gaulke (talk) 14:52, 31 May 2022 (UTC)

Sequoia Capital requests
Hello Quetstar. I have two outstanding requests at the Sequoia Capital Talk page that I'm hoping you can review. The first one is regarding a Senior leadership section that was recently added. The second one is regarding a proposed revision of the article introduction, which I reposted following The Banner's feedback. Any comments or guidance you can provide would be extremely helpful. Thank you. VS for Sequoia Capital (talk) 21:27, 21 June 2022 (UTC)

Douglas Leone requests
Hello Quetstar. You assisted me a few months back with some edit requests I posted at the Sequoia Capital Talk page, so I'm hoping you'll have time to look at some proposed revisions I recently posted at Douglas Leone's Talk page. The first request involves a very straightforward update to the infobox. The second request involves changes to the article introduction (updating his title), Career section (lightly restructuring and updating existing claims), and Personal life section (adding one new claim). Due to my conflict of interest, I will not make any changes to the article myself, so I'm hoping that experienced editors such as yourself can help me out. I have already reached out to editors who have been active on the article in the past, but no luck so far. Thank you again for your time. VS for Sequoia Capital (talk) 00:02, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

Douglas Leone Hawaii request
Hi Quetstar. Just wondering if you've had a chance to look at my response to your comment on the Douglas Leone Talk page. I understand that the change I was originally seeking may not be possible due to a lack of media coverage, so I'm instead proposing a slight rewording to remove the present perfect tense ("have been seeking...") from the existing language so that it's clear to readers this is not an ongoing issue five years later. Please let me know what you think. VS for Sequoia Capital (talk) 18:44, 3 October 2022 (UTC)

Riot Games Entertainment Request
Hello! I'm stopping in to ask if you've had a chance to look at my latest reply on the Riot Games Talk page. It's been a little bit since we last spoke, so I'll briefly recap: I put forward a draft for a new Entertainment section for the Riot article. You suggested folding some of the information from that draft into the existing History. I've written some new copy that does just that, and am now waiting for other editors to review my suggested framing. If you'd like to help out, that's great. If not, that's fine too. Either way, I appreciate the guidance you've given me so far. Thanks! JHixson at Riot Games (talk) 00:59, 15 December 2022 (UTC)

Black Box Corporation Page COI Issue
Hello Quetstar, I have not understood, where there is any COI issue in the page edited? The information is absolutely correct and not a single point or event word mentioned violates any rules. I have event created Edit request in the talk page to request if you find any incorrect or inflated information. Even the logo update is as per the current information. In fact post undoing from your end has brought back the old logo of the company, which is no longer in use. The idea is to keep the information on wikipedia relevant, any outdated or incorrect information will defeat the purpose of Wikipedia pages. If you find any incorrect word or language used in updating the page, please undo it or edit it, but please help in keep the information about the company relevant and correct.
