Forwarded (1): [Alexander Fleming] Thank you a lot for tour message. Why an article which refers to a governmental, non-profit institution with a history closely linked to the Greek Foundation for Basic Biological Research "Alexander Fleming" and research involved in areas of immunology, molecular biology and genetics and molecular oncology is not significant to be included in Wikipedia? --Afantitis 13:00, 30 May 2007 (UTC) Forwarded (2): [Tuberculosis Antimicrobial Acquisition and Coordinating Facility (TAACF)]Hi Athaenara, regarding your post to my listings as :conflict of interest and single-purpose account, from a different point of view, a wikipedia user should contribute only to the articles he/she had an expertise. This is may be a way to increase the high standard of knowledge which wikipedia provides. We have not all wikipedia users expertise in every matter.Is it possible to have your feedback on this?

This film has not had a theatrical release nor has it an IMDb listing. The attached external link leads to a personal website for the creator of the film. It is possible that the article was started by the filmmaker. I have tagged the article but I have not reported in this area of wikipedia before so my apologies if I have done any of this in error. Also this may be an entirely legitimate entry so again apologies for taking up your time, but, due to my unfamiliarity in this area, I thought that this was something that should be looked into. MarnetteD | Talk 11:16, 4 June 2007 (UTC) A second look at the page for the film above showed a link to the Stoke-on-Trent production company listed here. Its page has no external links and the page seems to be there for the sole purpose of advertising the Out of Space film that is already in question so I have tagged it with the COI2 tag also. Thank you for looking into this. MarnetteD | Talk 14:37, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Dynamic Submission (1)→ See also: Dynamic Submission article deletion review: Wikipedia:Deletion review#8 June 2007
The user states that he works for Dynamic Software, the company that makes Dynamic Submission software. [6] He is the only editor to have worked on the Dynamic Submission article. The user also appears to hold some sort of grudge against the professional search engine marketing industry. He has nominated search engine marketing for deletion, which I have vigorously opposed. He has also nominated Search Engine Land, the leading news site for this industry, for deletion. It is no secret that professional search engine marketers tell clients to avoid software like Dynamic Submission. Search engine marketing currently ranks 1st in Google for the valuable search terms "search engine marketing", 2nd in Google for the search term "search engine optimization." I am concerned that this user may have a commercial interest in deleting this page so that pages supporting submission software will rise in the rankings. I believe this user should be investigated as a single purpose COI account, and that his AfD nominations [7] [8] should be reviewed by an administrator who is fully aware of the facts. Jehochman Talk 06:15, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
Jehochman, you are unbelievable, because I want you to merge this article, and I think the search engine land article is drivel you have decided to attack an article that I wrote. Cute. The only problem is you are mis-representing information. The company I work for Dynamic Software's article was already removed and has nothing to do with Dynamic Submission. Dynamic Submission is a software program that was written by Apex Pacific, not dynamic software. This program is sold by hundreds and hundreds of companies, and unlike your article is referenced in actual books that can be purchased in a book store. Nextly, the company I work for is AKC, which sells products that do SEO & SEM work, Dynamic Software is a company that I also work for, and as you will note, I sent a request to write an article for Dynamic Software before I wrote it! This has nothing to do with this product article that is notable. I have nothing against SEO SEM or any agenda. I am trying to help create a good en.wikipedia.org and I could say you should be investigated for wrting drivel. I have nothing against other articles you wrote, but being a good editor means pointing out error in others work. --Akc9000 12:10, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
User:Akc9000 and I have been discussing this and seem to have reached an understanding. Can an admin please copy the deleted article Dynamic Submission into my User:Jehochman/Sandbox so we can work on it? Once that is done, this case is resolved. Jehochman Talk 15:51, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

This user has been playing me for a fool. I had tried to help him restore NPOV to this article, after he said that he had no COI. Upon checking the domain name registration records, I see that he is intimately involved with this software. (IP location: "New Jersey - East Brunswick - Akc Consulting") Full disclosure: I first became acquinted with this editor when he nominated search engine marketing for deletion. I opposed that action strongly. Under the circumstances, this user should be considered for an indef block as an abusive account. I've already nominated the article for speedy. It should be salted to prevent recreation. Jehochman Talk 22:34, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Hmmm... You know Jehochman you are an outright liar! If you look at the deletion review log, you wll see that I told everyone in deletion review that I owned one website that sells/maintains this product. So what? There are thousands of people that sell this product! I own an ISP, I do not own the company that made this product. You are just looking at everything I write and causing problems for me because I had your article afd. Well I will tell you know, if you wrote it right, I would not have complained. I was upfront and honest with everyone. Deletion review stated that COI does not prevent me from writing an article if I am non-partial. Let me tell you. I know why you are doing this! I finally figured it out. You cannot stand products like this because you charge customers money for what program does for free. No I did not blank the article for that reason. That artcle justy came out of deletion review and you started manipulating it to state that products like this do not work. Again, because you are in this field and these type of products make you lose money. You should be ashamed of yourself telling me I am violating COI, you are twisting things to your advantage and you employed sockpuppets to get your way. What is it with you? You are following all my edits that have anything to do with your line of work and causing problems. You should be banned from Wiki for this! --Akc9000 01:40, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Both of these articles were created by LostSentiment who also uploaded Image:Chrisreeves.jpg claiming to have created it himself. The image page contains a non-working link to an image hosting site. Neither bio looks anywhere near notable to me. Inexplicably, an administrator has removed the speedy delete tag from the "Gabrielle" article saying that it satisfies notability. Please note that both Christopher Reeves and Christopher reeves now redirect to Christopher Bennett Reeves and should redirect to Christopher Reeve, the actor who played Superman, as a misspelling if these bios are deleted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Steven J.

User MarcfiszmanMarcfiszman (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) introduced in the beginning a couple of links to nearthwort.com:
Some time later the links were changed to an mp3-file somewhere else on that server. In his latest edits, the links were changed from nearthwort.com to marcfiszman.com.
I removed all the links added by Marcfiszman, and gave the user a welcome message and a coi1-warning, as it seems that the editor is involved in the website. He responded on my talkpage with a question, and I explained the situation. Apparently Marcfiszman thinks my removal is overzealous, and he started to reinsert the link to marcfizman again. Link addition is reverted. --Dirk Beetstra T C 23:38, 28 May 2007 (UTC) |

Both users (who I believe to be the same person due to the consistency and similarity of their edits) are using an article with no sources that reads more like a fluff piece than anything else that clearly violates WP:BLP. An example of this article can be found here. Here are some examples of the prose found in the article... This was as gentle as a droplet of rain compared to the maelstrom to come with his next slasher film. ... and the life long film purist would enjoy every minute working with the same material his idol Stanley Kubrick had worked with during his illustrious career. However this time, going to Hell would not be easy, and the hard part would be ever leaving. Palumbo was ready for the accolades from the horror craving fans of modern cinema blood thirsty for even greater cinematic depravities It seemed everyone involved with the film were ashamed with their involvement and hoped that it would simply go away. Everyone that is except for Nick Palumbo. This was his dream, and he was not going to let it go down without a fight. And so on...and so forth...either the person writing this article is Palumbo himself, one of his shills or a hugely biased fan. Other editors and I have managed to trim the article down to a stub but the users in question often revert to their previous edits.--CyberGhostface 00:27, 2 June 2007 (UTC) |

Cberlet / Dking
→ Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard/Archive 2#Lyndon LaRouche
Cberlet and Dking are Chip Berlet and Dennis King, political activists who campaigned back in the 1980s for the jailing of Lyndon LaRouche. The two of them have started an edit war at the article Lyndon LaRouche, because they object to the inclusion in the intro of a quote from former Attorney General Ramsey Clark, who casts doubt on the legitimacy of the LaRouche trial. Quotes from Berlet and King are plentiful in the article, but the two of them seek to dominate content in violation of both WP:OWN and WP:COI. They are also engaged in abuse of Wikipedia for self-promotion -- Dking was featured earlier on this noticeboard for linkspamming (see this],) and Cberlet is engaged in similar activity. --Don't lose that number 06:09, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

User:Anitanehr, the article's main author, is the subject's wife. She says that she was "assigned to establish the Wikipedia listing for my husband" (see User talk:Anitanehr). This raises an obvious WP:COI issue, as well as issues under WP:BLP. No WP:RS is cited, which implicates WP:NOR. Further, there is no indication that this first-term Florida legislator is WP:NOTE, although the fact that he is an elected state legislator may be sufficient to justify a WP article about him (it would not get him into Encyclopedias Britannica or Americana).

XinJeisan 22:39, 31 May 2007 (UTC) I am unsure if the Dylan Verrechia is notable or not, so I put on the notability tag, however the editor User:Dylanverrechia removed the tag. I don't have anything against this person, and his movie seems to be quite good and important, but he shouldn't be using Wikipedia for advertising for himself. XinJeisan 17:43, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
User:Jameslefkowitz, who has a user name which is the same as the one listed as a producer for Mr. Verrechia, has deleted the COI and notability templates on Dylan Verrechia without comment.XinJeisan 17:40, 4 June 2007 (UTC) |

A few anonymous editors (and even an editor who don't sign in) seem to be making the article into a PR page. I have added a POV-check stamp on the page. I'm assuming they are not signing in, so they won't be identified, if they are part of the college.--Joel Lindley 03:31, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Noraggingfoundation (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) Wikipedia:WikiProject Spam/UserReports/Noraggingfoundation and Noragging (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) Wikipedia:WikiProject Spam/UserReports/Noragging are performing POV edits on Ragging. Amongst the edits are adding links to their own organisation, deleting information (with references; diff). Some of the edits are really strange, adding facts with fact-tags (diff), or several {{db-spam}} tags diff and undirected attack remarks: diff.
Two IPs who may be involved:
--Dirk Beetstra T C 18:13, 4 June 2007 (UTC) The links deleted were generated not for reference ( each one takes to a single site www.noragging.com/... )but for increasing their traffic. Ragging in India is a serious problem that has taken at least 22 lives since 2000. It has also left hundreds injured and many more have been brutally tortured. Even before the recent order of the Honbl. Supreme Court of India, several organizations were formed by volunteers to stand against ragging. CURE, Stopragging and No Ragging Foundation are those organizations. Some organizations like CURE, that runs only online works, has earned much site traffic to their site from wikipedia... whereas No Ragging Foundation has kept itself busy with activities like helping victims or like organizing awareness drives. Now some volunteers want to let people know that organizations like the No Ragging Foundation is providing Real support to victims, as far as possible... this would help many victims and/or families. But repeated, intentional and jealous attacks on the information and links provided by the No Ragging Foundation is really unfortunate. If Wikipedia considers it to be spam, so is Coalition to Uproot Ragging from Education (CURE)... but when it is found that No Ragging Foundation links are replaced by CURE links... it is really unfortunate acts of jealousy.

I have fired a warning shot over COI & SPAM, plus copyvio of images and text might well be an issue. See bottom here re name, and here re text of Gustave Baumann. contributions here. The gallery also covers Hayter. Incidentally I don't have an issue with the notability of GB. Johnbod 00:09, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

This user was previously indef-blocked for writing promotional articles as a business, with an indef-block notice on the user page. Received the following comment:
Did a quick Google search on "Catanich Internet Marketing" and notice that there are various other references to our action. I am amenable to restoring the status quo ante on this one if possible/appropriate (so long as the outfit doesn't provide paid services involving Wikipedia) but would appreciate input on how to proceed here. --Shirahadasha 04:26, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

How/where was this resolved? — Athaenara ✉ 14:30, 16 June 2007 (UTC) I would like to appoligize to Wiki for continuing to edit, but since the Wiki Editors continue to use my name in their article, comments and aggressive statements, I feel you should know what effects it has had on me. May I please state that you have now cost me my job from the company I was working for as their employee (Not the one they continue to reference). Both User:Butseriouslyfolks and User:Shirahadasha never took the time to verify their facts as being accurate or truthful. Senior editors should review this incident because these editors have used the Wiki as a weapon against some one and has harmed him greatly. Wiki, how can you be so unhuman. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.252.164.87 (talk • contribs)
