Managing a conflict of interest[edit]

Hello, 169.234.216.238. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page University of California, Irvine, 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 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 conflict of interest 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 which forms all or part of work 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. Shakehandsman (talk) 23:43, 24 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Lead sections[edit]

Hi, I undid your edits at Highest temperature recorded on Earth as the lead section is meant to summarize the article. No need to put things in the lead that are already explained in detail below. - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 15:37, 29 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

September 2020[edit]

Please do not add commentary, your own point of view, or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Civil Rights Act of 1964. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. You made two edits earlier today—one introduced blatantly POV wording, and the other broke a working link. Please don't do this. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a place for you to post political messages. — UncleBubba ^{( T @ C )} 02:16, 3 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Good work![edit]

This appears to be just fine. You asked for feedback so here it is. Nice job.

BTW, you should consider getting a login. You seem to do good work. Drop me a note if you do. Toddst1 (talk) 21:21, 3 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Toddst1, thank you for the positive feedback! I have been thinking about getting a login, I'm just not sure if I'm going to have the time to write on Wikipedia very often in the future. I will definitely let you know if I do though. 169.234.216.238 (talk) 21:27, 3 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

September 2020[edit]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at Mountain Meadows Massacre. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose their editing privileges. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to result in loss of your editing privileges. Thank you.

I have added some comments at the talk page for Mountain Meadows Massacre, let's have this discussion over there. Dave (talk) 06:35, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, thank you for the message. There was a new user who was trying to delete my constructive contributions, and I reversed it. Isn’t it the other user who is edit warring in this situation? 169.234.216.238 (talk) 03:18, 6 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:

Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)

I noticed your recent edit to University of Pittsburgh does not have an edit summary. Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary. Thanks!

April 2022[edit]

Hello, I'm AviationFreak. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Crime in Kenya, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. AviationFreak💬 02:25, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
