September 2022[edit]

Hello, I'm 331dot. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Multi-factor authentication, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. 331dot (talk) 09:35, 3 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi 331dot, thanks for bringing this to my attention. I have now cited the relevant NETICASH page on the Wayback Machine which is a valid reference site for Prior Art. Thanks BabsOje (talk) 11:23, 3 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent editing history at Multi-factor authentication shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. 331dot (talk) 10:10, 3 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I don't actually think it was an editing war, it was just me updating my own edit/post. BabsOje (talk) 10:21, 3 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You have restored your edit after others have removed it. Instead of just restoring it, please first discuss the edit on the article talk page. See bold, revert, discuss. 331dot (talk) 13:07, 3 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi 331dot, I initially wasn't sure if it was my error or not, so I reposted the edit. If there's still a need to discuss the edit I will visit the talk page, on the other hand why didn't the "other's" reach out to discuss the edit before removing it, is that how it works??? Thanks BabsOje (talk) 13:33, 3 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It's up to you to justify your edits and discuss them with others- only you can control what you do. Those reverting you provided reasons for their removal in their edit summaries. 331dot (talk) 14:29, 3 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Editing with a conflict of interest[edit]

Hello, BabsOje. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam#External link spamming);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you.-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 18:26, 3 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
