Notice of Conflict of interest noticeboard discussion

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard regarding a possible conflict of interest incident with which you may be involved. The thread is International Churches of Christ. Thank you. Cordless Larry (talk) 21:46, 13 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

April 2024

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you recently removed maintenance templates from Situational leadership theory. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Please see Help:Maintenance template removal for further information on when maintenance templates should or should not be removed. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. Thank you.

Thanks for this. I have two questions:

- One of the templates I removed was almost a decade old and claimed that the article relied on a single source. I counted 10 separate sources for the article. Are 10 sources regarded as insufficient for such a short article?

- Secondly, are you following me around on Wikipedia? If you are, I would imagine this could constitute as harassment. Please stop. JamieBrown2011 (talk) 07:40, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

On your first question, you can check what I reverted here - it wasn't the removal of a single-source template. On the second, I clicked on your contribution history to see what changes you'd made to the ICOC article and spotted this template removal. If you think that's harassment, you can report me at WP:AN/I. Cordless Larry (talk) 09:56, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As mentioned above, the 2nd tag I removed literally says “This article relies largely or entirely on a single source.” Which according to your edit link highlighted above you reversed. The article has 10 different sources, is that not enough for Wikipedia? JamieBrown2011 (talk) 17:54, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please look at your edit and my revert again. The template you removed was Template:Refimprove, not Template:single source (which you left in place). Cordless Larry (talk) 18:24, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, thanks. So you are happy for me to remove the single source template?

- 2ndly, you have shown through this interaction that as an Admin you can use your authority in a way that is not heavy handed. Thank you 🙏. Can you do the same over at the ICOC page, where it comes across like you have an axe to grind? JamieBrown2011 (talk) 09:45, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed it myself. On your other point, I've not been using my admin powers here - any editor can contest the removal of a maintenance template. My only agenda in relation to the ICOC article is to try to ensure that it complies with Wikipedia's sourcing policies and to ensure its contents are not dictated by the wishes of editors with conflicts of interest. If you believe otherwise, you'll need to take it up on the appropriate user conduct noticeboard. Cordless Larry (talk) 09:55, 5 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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. 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.

Noted. It is one editor, not a plurality, and If you read the discussion you will notice the the editor is neither biased or partisan to this topic User talk:WhatamIdoing#A voice of reason JamieBrown2011 (talk) 07:24, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The message you left for them certainly wasn't neutral though. Cordless Larry (talk) 08:42, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for highlighting this. I will take a closer look at my edit, but I believe I did put the two sentences in double quotation marks here. This is also a tiny portion of the source. Am I missing something?</nowiki>JamieBrown2011 (talk) 08:33, 9 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
