Reverting at IOTA (technology)
Your recent editing history at IOTA (technology) 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.

@EdJohnston Thanks for the info. Am trying to keep the article from being defaced by an anonymous person.
 * You should wait for agreement on the talk page. If the reverting continues you could both be blocked. EdJohnston (talk) 23:31, 21 December 2017 (UTC)

@EdJohnston I tried taking the issue to the talk page however the anonymous person just went the double down on the hack changes. Is there any way to stop the changes from happening before a consensus is reached on the talk page? Thanks again for the info.
 * If either party refuses to wait for agreement, admins can take action. The steps of WP:Dispute resolution are open to you. EdJohnston (talk) 23:39, 21 December 2017 (UTC)

@EdJohston Thank you.

WP:SIGN

@EdJohnston Thanks! Will do SolangeRex (talk) 04:30, 23 December 2017 (UTC)

edits on IOTA
Please don't make edits like this and. as they lack WP:RS and are promotional in nature. It looks like you have been warned above about edits on the IOTA (technology) page. Jtbobwaysf (talk) 16:55, 6 January 2018 (UTC)

@Jtbobwaysf|-- you are correct. I just doubled checked the Spora ref and it leads back to their PR release -- which is not valid under Wikipedia rules, as you pointed out. Thank you for the correction. SolangeRex (talk) 17:42, 6 January 2018 (UTC)

Conflict of interest in Wikipedia
Hi SolangeRex. I work on conflict of interest issues here in Wikipedia, along with my regular editing. Your edits to date are are almost entirely about IOTA (technology) and are promotional. I'm giving you notice of our Conflict of Interest guideline and Terms of Use, and will have some comments and requests for you below.

Hello, SolangeRex. 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 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). Thank you.

Comments and requests
Wikipedia is a widely-used reference work and managing conflict of interest is essential for ensuring the integrity of Wikipedia and retaining the public's trust in it. As in academia, COI is managed here in two steps - disclosure and a form of peer review. Please note that there is no bar to being part of the Wikipedia community if you want to be involved in articles where you have a conflict of interest; there are just some things we ask you to do (and if you are paid, some things you need to do).

Disclosure is the most important, and first, step. While I am not asking you to disclose your identity (anonymity is strictly protecting by our WP:OUTING policy) would you please disclose if you have some connection with the developers of Iota, directly or through a third party (e.g. a PR agency or the like)?

Please also be aware that per the COI guideline, holding a crytpocurrency and editing about that currency is considered a conflict of interest situation in Wikipedia.

You can answer how ever you wish (giving personally identifying information or not), but if there is a connection, please disclose it. After you respond (and you can just reply below), I can walk you through how the "peer review" part happens and then, if you like, I can provide you with some more general orientation as to how this place works. Please reply here, just below, to keep the discussion in one place. Thanks! Jytdog (talk) 12:47, 25 January 2018 (UTC)


 * Hello @Jytdog


 * Thanks for the heads up. Sorry it took this long to respond to you. Yes, under my new moniker of SolangeRex, my editing is focused on IOTA. I've occasionally contributed over the last decade or so under my real name, however found that I have too many stalkers following me on internet. You may think that's crazy but I'm in LA, I written and directed films and TV for ever 20 years and thus accrued my collection for whackos. I got into bitcoin in 2012 and IOTA recently. I started writing the IOTA page for fun because I thought people would want to learn about it and if you're not tech minded, IOTA information is hard to find. I'm not an IOTA employee, nor am I a developer involved in the tech. If the links aren't up to para, that's simply fault of me not knowing the criteria. Other editors have come in and gave me suggestions of how to improve the page and I have followed them.


 * best- SolangeRex (talk) 23:27, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
 * We have been through ugly stuff today already. You should not be editing the article directly since you have a financial conflict of interest. Please do make suggestions on the talk page - you can probably provide some great, well-sourced content there. Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 02:27, 23 April 2018 (UTC)


 * @Jytdog Thank you for the kind suggestion. At this point, I've given up on wikipedia. For whatever reason, there is too much anger from both sides. And more importantly, my months of work and now and attempt to restart it, has been undone. Also, having the original page deleted by some senior editor was beyond idiotic. When I first started contributing to wikipedia under different names many years ago, the site was a joy. Now it feels like little egos fighting over fiefdoms.
