Deletions
Hi CheckersBoard~
I noticed your comment with respect to someone making deletions. I think few of your edits were deleted due to no citation. Properly citing makes it much more difficult fro an editor to remove. You've added some information I was unaware of and I have used some of the citations you've provided, thank you.Thissilladia (talk) 01:32, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
Formal COI warning
Hello, CheckersBoard. We welcome your contributions to Misplaced Pages, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Misplaced Pages, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.
All editors are required to comply with Misplaced Pages's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.
If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:
- Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
- Avoid linking to the Misplaced Pages article or website of your organization in other articles (see Misplaced Pages:Spam).
- Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Misplaced Pages's content policies.
Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies. Note that Misplaced Pages's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.
For information on how to contribute to Misplaced Pages when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you.
Based on the nature of your account as a WP:SPA and the nature of your edits, it appears that you have some interest in the articles you are editing that is not aligned with Misplaced Pages's mission to present a neutral, reliable, source of encylopedic information for the public. We are not a newspaper. Jytdog (talk) 03:02, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
Notice of Conflict of interest noticeboard discussion
This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard regarding a possible conflict of interest incident in which you may be involved. Thank you. Jytdog (talk) 03:02, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
No personal attacks
Please stop attacking other editors. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Misplaced Pages.
You must stop making personal attacks about the motivations of other editors as you did in this edit note. I will seek to have you topic banned if you continue. Discuss content and sources, not contributors. I mean that. Jytdog (talk) 14:08, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
- Here is what you wrote in the edit note, for the diff I linked to above: "Deleted content belonging to diff article, was not informative as much as promotional. Paid advocacy also a possibility depending on which editor initially added the content. Aiming for balance and neutrality despite whining by COI editors.." Do you see how this violates "discuss content, not contributors"? Jytdog (talk) 17:21, 6 March 2015 (UTC)

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Misplaced Pages, as you did to André Marin, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. I understand that you have concerns about the content of this page - please be advised that blanking the entire page is not the way to address this. Use the talk page and/or fix the specific problems you have noticed instead. Fyddlestix (talk) 13:07, 9 March 2015 (UTC)
Sorry but someone removed considerable amount of content and valid contributions by editors that need to be retrieved and I had no idea what else to do to bring attention to the problem. It is on going. What you are viewing now is about 1/4 of content being used for the article including verified references. Some one has been doing a fair bit of polishing. This has been a concern as government employees who work for the individual were found to be creeping in polishing the article for public relations purposes which is against wiki rules. COI was officially established. Others have attempted to remove any content deemed publicly negative even though verified sources were used. It has left the article without balance and reads like a resume. Others efforts have been lost as a result. I have had to watch for WP: COI, WP:ADVOCATE and WP:PROMO because it is a controversial political figure. This needs more serious discussion because it is an ongoing-problem. Politics are and have been at play especially recently possibly due to the fact that there is open competition for the position this coming May (I checked). Please review asap. Trying to use talk pages but can't and don't know why. Would like to be able to open discussions and participate. I would appreciate it if others would help.
- editing wikipedia from a phone sucks. this place is hard enough to figure out without dealing the tiny screen and different version of the website presented for a phone. work at a desktop or laptop, if this is really important to you. Jytdog (talk) 17:40, 9 March 2015 (UTC)
Plain text vs markup on Andre Marin
Hi Checkers, it looks like you've been copy-pasting old content (which was removed) back into the article. Normally this isn't in itself a bad/wrong thing to do (unless the content was removed for a good reason), but in this case you seem to be pasting in plain text content rather than wiki markup. This creates a lot of problems as it's impossible to follow/sort out references and citations and the formatting gets all messed up. Please check out WP:REFB and H:WIKICODE to get an idea of why this is important. If you're importing old content, the easiest way to do it is to go to an old version of the page, click edit, and then copy the content you need - that way the markup, formatting and references will be preserved.
I appreciate your interest and the work that you've put into this article but please be careful to ensure that your editing is not disruptive. I'm going to post a "welcome" message to the top of your talk page - it will have lots of links that you might find helpful. Fyddlestix (talk) 00:58, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
Thank-you! That is exactly what I was trying to do. Couldn't figure out what happened to the wiki mark-up.
Edits reverted on Ontario Ombudsman
Hey there, hope you are feeling well,
I have reverted your edits to add numerous controversies to Ontario Ombudsman. Ideally, this page should only be used for controversies around the role itself - not the person in charge, which should be added to the relevant person's article, but only if Correctly sourced. Good day, Mdann52 (talk) 19:21, 21 May 2015 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you violate Misplaced Pages's biographies of living persons policy by inserting unsourced or poorly sourced defamatory or otherwise controversial content into an article or any other Misplaced Pages page. Posting messages on an article speculating who I work for and not discussing it with me first, as well as general unsourced claims to an article, is not acceptable. If you think I shouldn't of done what I did, feel free to follow the WP:DR chain, as I did with my post on your talk page yesterday. Mdann52 (talk) 16:00, 22 May 2015 (UTC) I just saw this and I have no idea why it is directed at me or who the hell you even are. could you please tell me where you are talking about? I never said Mdann52 anywhere. Thanks I'd like to clear this up.
Andre Marin Page
Hi Checkers,
If you keep deleting relevant info and add unsourced material, the Marin page will be stubbed just like the Ombudsman page.

Hi, I just got attacked by some editor no idea what he was talkng about, saying I was defaming them. Mdan or something. Trying to figure out what's going on. I thought the Andre Marin page was already stubbed? Why isn't it? Thank-you for your time. As for the jerk who attacked me, this will ne settled so they can leave the editing to the people who are here for that reason. I don't know why they are here.
--Where did the attack happen? Can you link to it? Thissilladia (talk) 16:09, 27 July 2015 (UTC)
They deleted it I just checked. I didn't get a screenshot although they may have edited their comments. Will have to check again. Pretty sure they edited it out or someone else did. Accusing me of speculating about their career, was very weird.
Stop
Checkers, please stop adding poorly sourced, non-NPOV material to the Andrea Marin and Ontario Ombudsman pages. It seems pretty obvious that you have an axe to grind with Marin and are using wikipedia to do it. That's not what wikipedia is for. Users who are WP:NOTHERE can be blocked from editing, you need to stop. Fyddlestix (talk) 15:57, 10 August 2015 (UTC)
André Marin
Do not readd the speedy deletion tag to André Marin again. If you feel the article should be deleted you have one option and one option only. You will need to follow the directions at WP:AFD. Any other way of trying to get the article deleted will be reverted and you will be blocked to stop the disruption. -- GB fan 12:02, 12 September 2015 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Misplaced Pages, as you did at André Marin. NeilN 14:58, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
Do not replace properly sourced and formatted content with a mess. If you do not how to edit properly, please ask for help at the Help Desk or Teahouse. Content issues can be raised on the article's talk page or WP:BLPN. --NeilN 15:03, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
Are you looking to get blocked? Why would you do this when every single biography infobox on Misplaced Pages doesn't have "former xxx"? --NeilN 22:22, 27 October 2015 (UTC)
You have been blocked from editing for a period of 48 hours for persistent disruptive editing. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text below this notice:{{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}
. NeilN 22:23, 27 October 2015 (UTC)
This is also a lack of competence block. If you can't fix basic things you break, don't edit. Use the talk page to suggest changes. --NeilN 22:26, 27 October 2015 (UTC)
I don't know what your fixation is with Marin and I don't care. Continue editing as you have been and I will ask that you be topic banned from both the Marin and the ombudsman articles. --NeilN 07:46, 2 November 2015 (UTC)
