Conflict of interest in Wikipedia[edit]

Hi Jeanmb1. I work on conflict of interest issues here in Wikipedia, along with my regular editing, which is mostly about health and medicine. Your edits to date are all about Cranial electrotherapy stimulation and are promotional. I'm giving you notice of our Conflict of Interest guideline and Terms of Use, and will have some comments and requests for you below.

Hello, Jeanmb1. 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 COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. Editing for the purpose of advertising or promotion is not permitted. 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, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you.

Comments and requests[edit]

Wikipedia is a widely-used reference work and managing conflict of interest is essential for ensuring the integrity of Wikipedia and retaining the public's trust in it. As in academia, COI is managed here in two steps - disclosure and a form of peer review. Please note that there is no bar to being part of the Wikipedia community if you want to be involved in articles where you have a conflict of interest; there are just some things we ask you to do (and if you are paid, some things you need to do).

Disclosure is the most important, and first, step. While I am not asking you to disclose your identity (anonymity is strictly protecting by our WP:OUTING policy) would you please disclose if you have some connection with companies that make or sell CES devices, directly or through a third party (e.g. a PR agency or the like)? You can answer how ever you wish (giving personally identifying information or not), but if there is a connection, please disclose it. After you respond (and you can just reply below), I can walk you through how the "peer review" part happens and then, if you like, I can provide you with some more general orientation as to how this place works. Please reply here, just below, to keep the discussion in one place. Thanks! Jytdog (talk) 02:26, 23 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I am frankly disappointed about the lack of integrity of Wikipedia. The answer to your question is NO, I am not in any way connected to CES vendors, and there is no conflict of interest, how did this come up in the first place? What I do see is is certain users "Roxy the dog" for example editing the article 10 times (much more than I did) and without engaging in talk nor even trying to justify the changes. The distinct impression is that there is no true balance nor engagement between users. There is a hierarchy of users in Wikipedia and this seems to heavily influence the content. My understanding was that users are supposed to engage in talk and not just "revert changes", and I have not seen that happen, just look through the history of this article. Furthermore where I see a conflict of interest is where we have someone responsible for dealing with COI at Wikipedia who also edits articles (this article (CES) in particular). In other words: to me there is a conflict of interest when you have someone editing an article and at the same time able to rise an COI on another user simply because there is a disagreement of content. There is a reason why we have a process for "audited" accounts, where an external party (auditors) audits company financial reports and this is not done by the accountants of the company, for good reason. Happy to disclose my identity if it helps, but not publicly.

DRN case closed[edit]

Thank you for seeking assistance with the Dispute Resolution Noticeboard. Unfortunately, the case you filed had to be closed as it did not meet the minimum DRN criteria. There was not an extensive enough talkpage discussion. Please use a talkpage to discuss ways to improve the article. If, after a good collaborative effort is made, a dispute still exists, you should feel welcome to refile. Nihlus 18:05, 23 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Neuro-linguistic programming is covered by discretionary sanctions[edit]

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have recently shown interest in pseudoscience and fringe science. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect: any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or any page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 11:46, 28 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
