Disambiguation link notification for October 4
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Fiann Paul, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Smiting ([//toolserver.org/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Fiann_Paul check to confirm] | [//toolserver.org/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Fiann_Paul?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Svedlundp. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the article Anders Svedlund, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI 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, 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. Cabayi (talk) 19:00, 8 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Dear Cabayi, I would like to inform you that I am not related to Anders Svedlund, and I am not having any promotional intention. The username correspondence is coincidental, just like Tyson may not necessarily mean being related to Neil deGrasse Tyson or Mike Tyson. It is one of many articles I edited. Please help me to understand which parts of the article you consider promotional, and in what way they don't follow the citations and how they should be changed? If the content of the section: Anders Svedlund raises concern, it is the most frequently cited fact about Anders Svedlund, and the fact that defines him the best. It is the way he is introduced in the Maritime Museum of Auckland, please google it. Svedlundp (talk) 20:41, 8 March 2018 (UTC)


 * My apologies. Coincidences do happen. The message above is a template which covers all possibilities.
 * Some of the article's text ("He cared very little for records", "Anders was a teetotaler and a vegetarian") reads more like something a family member would write, or hagiography, rather than being totally encyclopedic in tone. That, combined with the similar names, was what prompted me to comment.
 * Final point, if you think there's more to be found on Google to make the case for his notability, please add it to the article.
 * Hope that helps, Cabayi (talk) 09:11, 9 March 2018 (UTC)

Suggestion...
Blanking your talk page can look like you're hiding something, even if there's nothing to hide. H:ARC is preferable. Hope that helps, Cabayi (talk) 17:15, 9 March 2018 (UTC)

When I looked at your page history, I saw that you remove resolved issues, so I did it probably too simplistic way. Could you please send me the code that would work as I seem to not be able to make it work or feel free to revert the deleted posts as now it doesn't allow me to do it either. Svedlundp (talk) 18:01, 9 March 2018 (UTC)

Also in case the previous issue was not resolved in your opinion I added the teetotaler information link: http://www.oceanrowing.com/anders_svedlund/press/tales_of_%20great.htm Svedlundp (talk) 18:08, 9 March 2018 (UTC)


 * I've added the latest conversation to an earlier version, and added the code to do the archiving, so everything will get archived eventually. I've also archived the first thread manually to check things out. It's set to keep 4 threads, and to archive threads older than 90 days. So another thread should be archived automatically tonight ~ touch wood.
 * Sorry my own archiving is a bit messy, some of it is a bit experimental from when I was teaching myself to write & use templates. I should make it more standard.
 * The items I remove are just newsletters delivered to my talkpage ~ WP:Signpost & Tech news which aren't "real" conversations. The master copies of the newsletters are elsewhere on the wiki. Happy editing. Cabayi (talk) 23:20, 9 March 2018 (UTC)
