Conflict of interest editing

[edit]

RIPSOBA (talk · contribs) has recently added unsourced statements and removed section headings that leave the article content unclear. Xe has done so against the advice of several other editors. I invite this user to enter a discussion of the matter here, rather than continue engaging in what is becoming an edit war. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 15:12, 15 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I get it now. This page was created and edited by members of the union.
For reference, these are the Wikipedia rules we should be following:
WP:OWN This page in a nutshell: No one "owns" an article or any page at Wikipedia. If you create or edit an article, others can make changes, and you can not prevent them from doing so. In addition, you should not undo their edits without good reason. Disagreements should be calmly resolved, starting with a discussion on the article talk page.
WP:COI This page in a nutshell: Do not edit Wikipedia to promote your own interests, or those of other individuals or of organizations, including employers. Do not write about these things unless you are certain that a neutral editor would agree that your edits improve Wikipedia.
These editors should carefully read WP:RS to understand how Wikipedia works. You can't put something in just because you think it's true. You have to support it with a WP:RS.
If you just keep reverting, you will be violating Wikipedia rules and will be blocked. RIPSOBA already seems to have violated the WP:3R rule, and technically he could be blocked for that, but I would prefer to resolve this amicably. --Nbauman (talk) 18:05, 15 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
