[edit]
Hello, Richmchdor. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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 article subjects 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), including links or details of reliable sources that support your suggestions;
- 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, publicizing, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. AntiDionysius (talk) 19:05, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Points to note:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
- Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. AntiDionysius (talk) 19:05, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
- The persons or persons who are putting up the personal attacks are on a political agenda, and have repeatedly removed correct attributions and the correct context. Trashing people's wikipedia pages is not allowed here. If wikipedia wants to have a separate page with all the various political and civic groups in cambridge, including the attackers from the pro-builder political group, A Better Cambridge, they should do so. But removing citations and adding misinformation as part of their political disinformation campaign should be off limits, when it involves a living person - even here!

- As it says above, edit warring is prohibited even if you believe you are in the right. Wikipedia works on the basis of consensus; you are obligated to talk to other editors and work collaboratively, not to try to force through your changes.
- Please also remember that Wikipedia editors are required to assume good faith of each other; please refrain from accusing others of "being on a political agenda" or engaged in a "political disinformation campaign" - particularly when such accusations appear, at least from my reading, to be largely baseless.
- Finally, please clarify whether or not you have a conflict of interest related to this article. Thanks. AntiDionysius (talk) 18:07, 6 December 2024 (UTC)
