Welcome!

Hello, Grump International, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, your edit to Brickell Flatiron does not conform to Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View policy (NPOV). Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media.

There's a page about the NPOV policy that has tips on how to effectively write about disparate points of view without compromising the NPOV status of the article as a whole. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, click here to ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. Below are a few other good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date.

Ronen Shilo

[edit]

I recently nominated an article for deletion and posted some improvement tags on articles related to a spamming effort, and have come under attack by someone working for both Shilo and his company. I have deleted clear attempts to intimidate me for the editor's own profit here. The editor in question has asked me "why have I made every one of my edits ever", which is a bit of a bizarre question. This exhibition of WP:HOUND is an interesting example of how we need to improve our COI conditions on Wikipedia to ensure those being paid to edit Wikipedia are held to account. Some people are interested in Miami condos, some people are interested in WWII, some in the beaches of North Carolina. And we make edits about what we care about. Others, like the individual attacking me, are paid to Advocate on behalf of their clients. What is fascinating is how expansive these advocacy efforts can grow--people who not only believe they can own their clients' Wikipedia pages, but also the talk pages of anyone conversing with them. Well, they can't. And hopefully one day we will be rid of all people who don't choose to be here unless they get paid! Grump International (talk) 22:33, 25 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Your username

[edit]

If I could easily find an organization named "Grump International", it would violate our username policy. Could you explain your username so we can alleviate any concerns about it? --Ronz (talk) 22:38, 26 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It's a parody of construction firms, I thought it was funny? Grump International (talk) 14:42, 27 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! --Ronz (talk) 15:17, 27 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

It appears that you have been canvassing—leaving messages on a biased choice of users' talk pages to notify them of an ongoing community decision, debate, or vote—in order to influence Biocentric universe. While friendly notices are allowed, they should be limited and nonpartisan in distribution and should reflect a neutral point of view. Please do not post notices which are indiscriminately cross-posted, which espouse a certain point of view or side of a debate, or which are selectively sent only to those who are believed to hold the same opinion as you. Remember to respect Wikipedia's principle of consensus-building by allowing decisions to reflect the prevailing opinion among the community at large. Thank you. By cherry-picking commentators who !voted keep at the last AfD, in this diff you are clearly violating Wikipedia rules. jps (talk) 02:35, 6 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
