User talk:Jameschurch001000

Wikipedia user pages are for editors who are active in working for the project to give a little information about themselves in connection with their work for the encyclopaedia; they are not places to post any other kind of material. I shall move your user page to Draft:Liming, since that is more appropriate for a draft article, which is what the page appears to be. JBW (talk) 17:25, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

Hello, Jameschurch001000, and welcome to Wikipedia.

File:Information orange.svg Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to :Terren Peizer. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you.{{PAGENAME}} Tacyarg (talk) 17:32, 1 February 2025 (UTC)

File:Information.svg Hi Jameschurch001000! I noticed that you have reverted to restore your preferred version of :Terren Peizer 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 {{TALKPAGENAME:Terren Peizer}}, 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) 21:53, 11 February 2025 (UTC)

File:Information icon4.svg There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard regarding a possible conflict of interest incident with which you may be involved. Thank you. Tacyarg (talk) 23:21, 11 February 2025 (UTC)

:I’ve carefully reviewed your feedback and worked hard to rewrite the content to ensure neutrality, avoid copyright issues, and properly cite independent sources. I’ve also removed any promotional language and closely followed Wikipedia’s Neutral Point of View (NPOV)'and Verifiability policies.

::Hi, I think you wrote your message to me using AI. Please don't do that. No, I won't check the version you have given above, but you can use the edit request wizard to set out on the article's Talk page the changes you want to make, and the references that support them. Alternatively, you can ask for advice at the teahouse. I will add that the existing version of the article is well-sourced and neutrally-written, so you would need to make a good case for the changes you want, and to make sure that you have provided reliable secondary sources. Please also follow the conflict of interest guidance above to make a formal disclosure of your conflict of interest. Tacyarg (talk) 22:30, 11 February 2025 (UTC)

File:Information.svg Hello, Jameschurch001000. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page :Terren Peizer, 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 {{tl|edit COI}} template), including links or details of reliable sources that support your suggestions;
• disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see {{Section link|Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI}});
• avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see {{Section link|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.{{#ifexpr: ({{#time: U | now}} - 1739309906) < 13150000 | {{PAGENAME}} | }} Tacyarg (talk) 21:38, 11 February 2025 (UTC)

See WP:MINOR fpr when your edits as minor. David notMD (talk) 03:43, 12 February 2025 (UTC)

Asking questions at Teahouse can have the unexpected consequence of having several highly experienced editors who volunteer there to review everything the asking editor has been doing (sometimes even on other articles they have been editing). The advice you have been given - to seek consensus on the Talk page of the article in question - is the best path.

Even though you deny a COI, your one-topic editing has been brought up at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard. If you persist in editing the article directly versus making a case at the Talk page, there is a potential for an Administrator to act to block your account. (I am not an Admin.)
