User talk:Wisc1999

April 2024
Hello, I'm 2003 LN6. I noticed that you recently removed content from Joe Shield 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. 2003  LN  6  15:24, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did at Joe Shield, 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. 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 Joe Shield, you may be blocked from editing. Taking Out The Trash (talk) 17:08, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you remove or blank page content or templates from Wikipedia without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary, as you did at Joe Shield. Taking Out The Trash (talk) 17:10, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Wisc1999. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Joe Shield, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for article subjects for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the edit COI template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see );
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see );
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. &#126; ToBeFree (talk) 17:31, 1 April 2024 (UTC)

Avoiding an edit war
Hi Wisc1999! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of Joe Shield several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.

All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages to try to reach consensus. If you are unable to agree&#32;at, please use one of the dispute resolution options to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war. Thank you. &#126; ToBeFree (talk) 17:31, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
