Hello, I'm Praxidicae. I noticed that you recently removed content from Peer-to-peer ridesharing without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

 * Did you actually look at the content I removed and read both articles?Wikiwriter700 (talk)

Hello, I'm Willsome429. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to David Portnoy seemed less than neutral and has been removed. If you think this was a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. I do not care what your personal opinion of Portnoy is; the encyclopedia has a duty to maintain a neutral point of view.  Willsome 4 29  (say hey or see my edits!) 17:30, 16 August 2020 (UTC)

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Peter Popoff, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use your sandbox for that. Thank you.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia without adequate explanation, as you did at Assurity Life Insurance Company, you may be blocked from editing. Sundayclose (talk) 02:53, 17 August 2020 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you remove or blank page content or templates from Wikipedia, as you did at LeapFish. Sundayclose (talk) 02:54, 17 August 2020 (UTC)

Hello. I wanted to let you know that in your recent contributions to David Portnoy, you seemed to act as if you were the owner of the page. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to Wikipedia. This means that editors do not own articles, including ones they create, and should respect the work of their fellow contributors. If you create or edit an article, remember that others are free to change its content. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Please respect other editors contributions and viewpoints about what should be in the article and what should not.  Willsome 4 29  (say hey or see my edits!) 00:18, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

Wikiwriter700 I'd like to discuss your recent revision of Uber article, specifically your revert due violation of WP:UNDUE

I added a new sub-section titled ===Pricing options=== under ==Product overview== to identify differences in Uber's pricing models with price fixing implications between individual drivers, as well as between Uber and individual drivers.

Do you have specific recommendations to improve this content? How do you propose to balance it?

Product overview
Uber does not provide transportation services, instead, Uber determines and dictates the terms on which independent drivers are allocated to customers and the prices that will be charged to them, including the share earned by the driver. To facilitate the scheme, Uber utilizes dynamic pricing model; prices vary according to supply and demand at the time of service.

....

Pricing options
−

Uber’s pricing technology
−	According to Uber, “in the United States, upfront prices are based on the estimated length and duration of the trip. Estimates can vary based on demand patterns and real-world factors like traffic.” Uber holds absolute control over the pricing of all trips, as well as the distribution mechanism of the supply side. −

Multiples of Uber’s base rates
−	In January of 2020, Uber has released new test feature in select California service areas to enable drivers at the Santa Barbara, Sacramento and Palm Springs airports to set a fair based on a multiple of Uber’s base, time and distance rates for UberX and UberXL trips. −

Price fixing implications
−	As part of the measure to enable drivers set multiples of the Uber’s base rates, Uber states in its directives to drivers that "it is illegal under state and federal law for anyone, including rideshare drivers, to engage in price fixing. This includes agreeing or coordinating with other drivers (in airport staging lots or elsewhere) on pricing and surge pricing. The law requires that drivers must make decisions about pricing and surge pricing on their own." −	The purpose of price fixing is to coordinate pricing for mutual benefit. To establish a criminal violation as a result of price fixing subject to Section 1 of the Sherman Act (15 U.S.C. § 1), the government or a private party must prove three essential elements: (1) The conspiracy was knowingly formed (2) The defendant knowingly joined the conspiracy (3) The conspiracy either substantially affected interstate or foreign commerce or occurred within the flow of interstate or foreign commerce. Price fixing is an antitrust offense that is considered “per se” unreasonable restraints of trade. The courts have reasoned that price fixing has no legitimate justification and lack any redeeming competitive purpose and should, therefore, be considered unlawful without any further analysis of their reasonableness, economic justification, or other factors.

Speedy deletion nomination of Pool Corporation


A tag has been placed on Pool Corporation, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the.  // Timothy ::  talk  23:40, 11 October 2020 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, as you did at Vontier, you may be blocked from editing. Seraphimblade Talk to me 12:44, 12 October 2020 (UTC)

Hello Wikiwriter700. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are  required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Wikiwriter700. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. signed,Rosguill talk 15:36, 26 October 2020 (UTC) Wikiwriter700 (talk) 19:51, 26 October 2020 (UTC)I'm not paid. Just know a lot about certain industries, including hotels.

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Ghislaine Maxwell, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use your sandbox for that. Thank you. —&hairsp;BarrelProof (talk) 04:14, 31 October 2020 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia without adequate explanation, you may be blocked from editing. This is your final warning. Helpthepeople9 (talk) 15:38, 7 November 2020 (UTC) Wikiwriter700 (talk) 15:39, 7 November 2020 (UTC)What editing is disruptive?

Alexa
The RfC only concerns use in infoboxes. There is no consensus to remove it from main article space. -- Green  C  00:28, 14 November 2020 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. ''Your edit-summaries solely mention removing infobox parameters, but your changes are more substantial than that. You are adjusting wikilinks, converting other content to use templates, and in the case of Natural News removed a ton of other links and parameters. That's disruptive because it has the effect of being deceptive about your edits.'' DMacks (talk) 22:01, 21 November 2020 (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.

Wikiwriter700 (talk) 01:23, 22 November 2020 (UTC)Sorry the wikilink removed on Natral News was a redlink and the URL removed was due to it being a blocked URL by Wikipedia.


 * That URL is indeed annoying:( It's sometimes okay to remove redlinks, but sometimes they are appropriate (see WP:REDLINK) or can be manually updated to a bluelink on a relevant topic. DMacks (talk) 15:12, 22 November 2020 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia without adequate explanation, as you did at Prog Archives, you may be blocked from editing. '' You have been consistently warned for this, yet don't improve. This has been a big problem that has caused you to get a previous Level 3. '' HurricaneTracker495 (talk) 15:11, 26 November 2020 (UTC) Wikiwriter700 (talk) 15:13, 26 November 2020 (UTC)Explain to me what part of the editing was disruptive please. Everything that was removed was in accordance with WP:MOS.
 * See above. An administrator things it's disruptive and parameters are, indeed, used. DMacks is a highly competent admin, and you have had many warnings. --HurricaneTracker495 (talk) 15:14, 26 November 2020 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you remove or blank page content or templates from Wikipedia, as you did at Meituan-Dianping.   HurricaneTracker495 (talk) 15:13, 26 November 2020 (UTC) Wikiwriter700 (talk) 15:15, 26 November 2020 (UTC) Alexa is not a used parameter in a website template. Try to add this parameter or just edit an article where it is used and you will see for yourself. The Dmacks comment is an hominem.....


 * what do you mean homonym? HurricaneTracker495 (talk) 15:17, 26 November 2020 (UTC) Wikiwriter700 (talk) 15:20, 26 November 2020 (UTC) See Argument from authority and Village_pump_(proposals)/Archive_173


 * I believe you removed other parameters as well. HurricaneTracker495 (talk) 15:26, 26 November 2020 (UTC)


 * Wikiwriter700 (talk) 15:30, 26 November 2020 (UTC)Yes, blank ones....somewhere I saw that blank ones should be removed....ill look and see where I saw that....
