Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. 2601:188:180:B8E0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 20:00, 16 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

August 2021

Welcome to Wikipedia. Editors are expected to treat each other with respect and civility. On this encyclopedia project, editors assume good faith while interacting with other editors, which you did not appear to do at 2021 Green Party of England and Wales leadership election. Here is Wikipedia's welcome page, and it is hoped that you will assume the good faith of other editors and continue to help us improve Wikipedia! Thank you very much!

I would also just note that you've made dozens of edits over the last seven years, all of which or almost all of which refer to Shahrar Ali and many of which are concerned with material that's critical of him. As a single-purpose account, you might want to consider whether you have any conflicts of interest that you ought to disclose. If you do have an undisclosed connection to Ali, there are specific guidelines for how to contribute to Wikipedia productively at WP:COIEDIT. I hope that helps!

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Gravitationpull. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Shahrar Ali, 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, clients, or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} 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. Gaia Octavia Agrippa ^Talk 22:21, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think that is good advice and I'm sure one that you adopt for yourself, too, were it the case that you had a COI that needed disclosing. Accuracy and impartiality is important. Gravitationpull (talk) 23:15, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You are a single issue account so it is reasonable to assume that you may have a conflict of interest. Just to be clear, you are not Shahrar Ali nor are you his agent or one of the others above? Gaia Octavia Agrippa ^Talk 17:45, 15 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
