User talk:EvilAvatar

Regarding article Evil Avatar. Please provide alternate wording/context rather than deleting data from the page under the guise of updates (or do the updates without removing the facts). This will only result in continual reverts.

Offer rewording/additional context to these statements and we can use that in the page instead:

On September 29th 2008, a large number of senior Moderators/Editors ("Reds," as they're known on Evil Avatar) left the site for undisclosed personal reasons. Their new efforts were revealed on October 1st, with the launching of Colony of Gamers, a new gaming site incorporating many disenfranchised Evil Avatar members. A large portion of the community migrated at that time as well.

# fitbabits - Appeared as an unlockable character in Infected on the PSP. Founded ColonyOfGamers with previous staff members of the site.
# bapenguin - Featured on XBox.com's Gamer Spotlight segment in August 2006. (Link). Founded Co-Optimus a website dedicated to co-op gaming.

On October 1st 2008, Evil Avatar Radio broke their connections with Evil Avatar in conjunction with the founding of Colony of Gamers, renaming themselves In-Game Chat, but featuring the same crew and format as before. This transition was described on the show as being a "growth opportunity" for the direction they wanted to take the format.

Edit War on Evil Avatar

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. --Flewis^(talk) 00:44, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Evil Avatar. You've been mentioned in 3RR complaint at the noticeboard. It has been suggested that you have a WP:Conflict of interest in editing this article. Please join the discussion and give your own opinion. EdJohnston (talk) 04:38, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Edit warring and conflict of interest

Hello Evil Avatar. Please be aware that you do not seem to be joining in good-faith negotiations about the Evil Avatar article. Your constant reference to 'vandalism' when reverting the changes of other editors is trying our patience. Of your 24 Wikipedia edits, 18 have been reverts. You spend your time here undoing the work of others. You have never joined in the discussion at Talk:Evil Avatar or tried to explain your changes.

The 3RR case against you is being closed with no sanctions, but if you continue to edit the Evil Avatar article in such a way that you exhibit article ownership, you'll probably be reported again to one of our admin noticeboards, and the result may not be what you want.

Attached is the warning that is usually given to new editors who appear to have a conflict of interest about an article subject. Please pay close attention to our policies if you expect to continue being allowed to edit here. EdJohnston (talk) 18:04, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors;
linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam); and,
avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.
