Hello, I'm Blaze Wolf. I noticed that you recently removed content from Joel Gallen without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 20:54, 17 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

My name is Kyla Totoro, I’m Joel Gallen’s assistant. Can you please help me understand why every time he tries to upgrade his page it does not save? Why does he need to explain everything he is changing on his page. It’s Joel’s page and should be able to change his information as he pleases. Please let me know EXACTLY what he needs to do in order to change his info and it be saved publicly please. We want to make sure we are doing everything correctly.

Thanks 2603:8001:9502:3CB6:6046:9F4F:BAEB:AB3C (talk) 22:56, 17 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Joel Gallen, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use your sandbox for that. Please refrain from editing the article and read WP:COI. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 18:57, 19 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I did. im not understanding what you want me to say in the edit summary. can you please explain!!!! Joeltenthplanet (talk) 19:00, 19 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop. 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 Joel Gallen, you may be blocked from editing. You have been told to stop editing your article already per WP:COI and continue to do so. ― Blaze Wolf^Talk_{Blaze Wolf#6545} 18:41, 23 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, please stop editing the article about you. Your son's name and year of birth have already been removed. Your date of birth and the fact of your son's existence are statements in the article which have references to reliable sources, so please do not remove them. Please do not add information which does not have references - all statements in Wikipedia articles should be backed up by references and you should not use the article to try to promote yourself. Please read the conflict of interest guidance already posted here and request changes to the article on the article's Talk page. I will also post edit warring guidance here; please read that too.

You're incorrect, my son's name is gone, but my birth year is still there. I want that removed asap. How do I add references to new information I want to upload? And if i want something removed that is personal and do not want to be shared, I should have that ability even if it is backed up by references to reliable sources. This page is about me and I should be able to edit what I want on it. Can you explain exactly what I need to do in order to update my page? I have asked this several times now and am not getting any answers except for the fact that you keep removing everything i edit without thoroughly explaining what I need to do in order to make my changes stay. 2603:8001:9502:3CB6:C890:6133:7594:FD24 (talk) 18:33, 25 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Joeltenthplanet! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of Joel Gallen several times. The impulse to undo an edit you disagree with is understandable, but I wanted to make sure you're aware that the edit warring policy disallows repeated reversions even if they are justifiable.

All editors are expected to discuss content disputes on article talk pages to try to reach consensus. If you are unable to agree at Talk:Joel Gallen, please use one of the dispute resolution options to seek input from others. Using this approach instead of reverting can help you avoid getting drawn into an edit war. Thank you. Tacyarg (talk) 05:38, 24 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Joeltenthplanet. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Joel Gallen, 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 {{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. Tacyarg (talk) 23:34, 21 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Partial block

I've issued a partial block. You have been blocked from editing the Joel Gallen page. Talk:Joel Gallen is not affected by the partial block and remains open to you to raise issues, suggest improvements etc. Mjroots (talk) 20:07, 25 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's not your page

You appear to have a common but fundamental misunderstanding of what Wikipedia is and is not: see WP:N. The Joel Gallen page is not your page. It is an encyclopedic article about you. It does not belong to you and you have (almost) no control over it. Because you have an unavoidable conflict of interest, you have even less right to edit the article that does any random editor.

However, we try to be sensitive and careful about biographical information: see WP:BLP, please DO mention any problems in this regard on the article's talk page. This policy is the reason that your removal of information about a family member was acceptable. -Arch dude (talk) 21:00, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
