Unsolicited advice

Hey Rick, you might give this a gander. Having a page about yourself can be a double-edged sword, as it seems to be in your cases. Grey Wanderer (talk) 22:28, 27 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

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 Rick Roeber, you may be blocked from editing. Grey Wanderer (talk) 22:18, 11 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The reasons you gave are not good reasons to remove the unflattering content. The source is both reliable and the content is properly cited. Anyways, it is generally regarded as bad form to edit an article about yourself. Grey Wanderer (talk) 22:30, 11 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

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 Rick Roeber. Grey Wanderer (talk) 21:32, 22 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Barefootrick. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Rick Roeber, 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, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
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 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 Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Jorm (talk) 00:41, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Consider this the only warning you are going to get: Editing an article about yourself is not allowed. If you do so again, I will open a case at the Administrator's noticeboard.--Jorm (talk) 00:51, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Serols: This editor is, in fact, Rick Roeber, so all edits to that article by this person are a violation of COI. Jorm (talk) 16:52, 16 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
