Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, DilipFraser. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Happy Science, 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 Wikipedia:Spam#External link spamming);
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. bonadea contributions talk 15:34, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, bonadea. I am sorry for the doubts I have caused you. I am a student studying new religions in the Asian region and have nothing to do with the organization. I came up with the addition because I noticed that the amount of information in this English version of the article was so much less than in the Japanese version.

All additions were translations of the Japanese version of the article. I will take care to follow Wikipedia's content policy.

Thank you. DilipFraser (talk) 02:27, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

April 2022

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Happy Science. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please 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, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Please use the article talk page to make edit requests, as described above. Thank you. bonadea contributions talk 09:58, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, bonadea. I hesitate to say this, but I am a little confused by your response. Could you please point out what is disruptive in my editing? Thank you. DilipFraser (talk) 10:06, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Bonadea - See DilipFraser's response above. Pinging you as a courtesy so that you can offer assistance to this editor. :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 10:29, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Restoring the organisation's own propaganda after having been directly asked not to do so is disruptive. Articles in Wikipedias in other languages may contain information that is useful in English Wikipedia, or they may not; English Wikipedia does not, for instance, allow editors to draw our own conclusions from sources. Many users representing Happy Science have added content defending their organisation to the article, giving as their reason for doing so that the text (such as their "legal battle" against Kodansha) comes from Japanese Wikipedia. Again, if there are reliably sourced and neutral pieces of information that could be added, please post edit requests at the article talk page (as described above). --bonadea contributions talk 19:48, 9 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I see... it is a complicated situation. I thought I understood that the organization's propaganda should not be included in the article. Therefore, from my last edit, I thought I had carefully excluded the information that the organization sent out.... From your explanation and behavior, I am not sure of the criteria for deciding what may and may not be included in this article. I am sorry to realize that I cannot publish the text I have taken the trouble to translate. Having said that, thank you for your time. DilipFraser (talk) 08:02, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Japan Theravada Buddhist Association (July 13)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Greenman was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Japan Theravada Buddhist Association and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Japan Theravada Buddhist Association, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.
