May 2010[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed maintenance templates from Wikipedia. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. --Ronz (talk) 14:31, 6 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop. Continuing to remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia without resolving the problem that the template refers to may be considered vandalism. Further edits of this type may result in your being blocked from editing Wikipedia. --Ronz (talk) 15:09, 7 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict of interest policy[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. If you are affiliated with 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, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

  1. editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
  2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
  3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. --Ronz (talk) 17:21, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ronz. I'd just like to ask what organisations you may think I am affiliated with. I am a PhD candidate at Murdoch University, Perth Western Australia. My PhD is examining how and why EMDR works, so I guess you could say that I have a little academic expertise in the area. But Wikapedias conflict of interest policy states that "Editing in an area in which you have professional or academic expertise is not, in itself, a conflict of interest". I am also a member of EMDR Australia as like many clinicians in Australia, this is the organisation through which I recieved my accredited EMDR training. I do not work for this organisation. I am also a member of AACBT and the Australian Psychological Society. As far as I am aware, being a member of these organisations does not lead to a conflict of interest in anyway.

There is an additional problem, if you are recruiting others to sway consensus-- see WP:MEAT. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 03:03, 15 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Plus edits like [1] and to a lesser extent [2]. --Ronz (talk) 01:44, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Accusations of vandalism[edit]

I've gone ahead and removed your comments [3] as being inappropriate for the article talk page. I have a hard time taking your accusations seriously. If you want to build a case that doesn't look like outright harassment, I suggest starting a discussion at Wikipedia talk:Vandalism where you can learn what constitutes vandalism and how to properly respond to real vandalism. --Ronz (talk) 15:55, 31 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed it again, along with your additional comment [4]. You're now threatening that your as-yet-unsubstantiated accusations of vandalism justify revisions. Again, please take some time to learn what constitutes vandalism. It would be helpful if you looked through WP:TALK as well. --Ronz (talk) 03:44, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not assume ownership of articles. If you aren't willing to allow your contributions to be edited extensively or be redistributed by others, please do not submit them. Thank you. [5] --Ronz (talk) 16:05, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop. Continuing to remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia without resolving the problem that the template refers to may be considered vandalism. Further edits of this type may result in your being blocked from editing Wikipedia. --Ronz (talk) 04:12, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This is the final warning you will receive regarding your disruptive edits.
The next time you remove the maintenance templates from Wikipedia articles without resolving the problem that the template refers to, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. --Ronz (talk) 15:14, 14 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am complying with wikapedia guidelines and requesting a clear, justifiable explanation for the tag to appear on the discussion page. Sschubert (talk) 02:40, 15 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

3RR warning[edit]

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 several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. If the edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 02:47, 15 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
