Warnings and notifications

First let me extend a hearty "howdy" and welcome to Wikipedia! You're work is very much appreciated and we're glad you're here. If you have any problems or questions, don't hesitate to drop me a line. I noticed your report at AIV; ordinarily we have to warn a user several times about edits before blocking them. For vandalism, see WP:VAND and advertising see WP:ADVERT (there are useful warning templates {{uw-vand1}} through {{uw-vand4}} and {{uw-spam1}} through {{uw-spam4}} which can be used, along with many others). Sometimes a person is blocked before they get four warnings, but usually blocking admins look for about four warnings. I didn't look over all of the edits ForeverPhoenix (talk · contribs) was making, but be sure they are unquestionably spam. I see you have worked on the article for a while, so I am betting you have seen some that are promotional, etc., although I didn't immediately find anything particularly worrisome in the edits the user was making. It often helps to point these highly problematic edits out when asking for a block.

Conflict of Interest is a challenge to enforce. Sometimes people's writing tends toward the positive, despite a lack of conflicts of interest. It is also not, strictly speaking, prohibited (only *very strongly* discouraged). People with conflicts of interest can be some of the most difficult users to deal with. However it is sort of part of the job (and sometimes those close to a company can point out errors, which can be helpful). My usual approach to editors with a conflict of interest is to (i) point out the WP:COI guideline and WP:NPOV policy, (ii) encourage the potentially conflict-of-interest editor to discuss changes on the talk page, rather than making them directly, and (iii) if things get out of hand on the talk page or the editor refuses to discuss, get wider involvement using WP:COIN (or if the edits are clearly problematic and the user has been warned, WP:AIV).

There's a bit of complexity to the workings around here. I apologize for throwing all this information at you at once. Let me know if there is anything I can help with or clarify. (It can be a bit daunting, even for folks who have been here a while.) Thanks again for all your work on Wikipedia! --TeaDrinker (talk) 00:58, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

Howdy and thanks for the note! I went ahead and re-blocked the IP for one month, but saying I would be happy to unblock if they confine their edits to the talk page of the article. I took a look over the article and noticed there was a sentence which might be considered uncited criticism. As such, I removed it to the talk page of the article for discussion. Hopefully a source can be found (and of course, your input there is more than welcome). Thanks for all the work! --TeaDrinker (talk) 03:21, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Proposed deletion of John Sykes (British entrepreneur)

The article John Sykes (British entrepreneur) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject and not seeing evidence of satisfying WP:BIO.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
