[edit] Username

You might want to change your username. See WP:U --Ronz (talk) 22:42, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for the advice. I used this name so that there would be no question about who I am - an employee of FreeLife. Do you suggest just using my given name? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Freelifelegal (talk • contribs) 23:03, 6 February 2008
My personal suggestion would be to select a username that protects your identity.
I don't know why I didn't point it out before, but you should read through WP:COI as well. --Ronz (talk) 01:21, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Edits to FreeLife

If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

  1. editing articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
  2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors;
  3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam);
    and you must always:
  4. avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially neutral point of view, verifiability, and autobiography.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see Wikipedia:Business' FAQ. For more details about what constitutes a conflict of interest, please see Wikipedia:Conflict of Interest. Thank you. --Hu12 (talk) 19:58, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 3RR of FreeLife article

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on FreeLife. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 22:47, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Interesting that you suggest I use the talk page. That is exactly what I have been doing and have received absolutely no comments, suggestions, or changes. How I have approached this is exactly how Jimbo Wales suggested we handle this entry. See the discussion page for an excerpt from Jimbo's e-mail to our Vice President of Marketing. Why does the 3RR not apply to the person that started the process of reverting the entry back to what it was before I made reasonable and balanced entries. A level playing field it is not.Freelifelegal (talk) 23:09, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Editors who find themselves on the verge of 3RR violations have several options to avoid engaging in such an edit war. These options include discussing the subject on the article Talk page (which you have attempted). As that has not produced results, other options available are requesting a third opinion or request comment on the article, or one of the many other methods of dispute resolution. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 23:34, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
