Hi! Did you see this? Doctorhawkes (talk) 08:17, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Doctorhawkes: Not until you pinged me; I was asleep. I put that image on the bad image list so it can't be added again. —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 12:07, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Disruptive IP

I noticed you reverted an edit of 2605:8d80:13bc:131c:9917:6bac:cc7e:4dae, they have been extremely disruptive towards any of Sokolov's work and on the Battle of Kursk page, and continue to do so, as you can check the Battle of Kursk page and see that the IPs are in the same location of Toronto.

Renamed account

Hi K6ka :) I was randomly scrolling through edit filter hits & I came across this note you left on Draddex’s talk. I just thought I should leave you a message; as you mentioned in that diff that you’d lifted the block on the account, but it still appears to be blocked.

Apologies if I’ve missed anything. All the best. ‍—‍a smart kitten[meow] 12:28, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@A smart kitten: Oops! Thanks for catching that; I have now actually unblocked the user. —k6ka 🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 13:58, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Besins healthcare page

Hello,

I noticed you reverted the changes I made on the Besins Healthcare page, citing a lack of adherence to Wikipedia's tone guidelines. While I understand the importance of maintaining a consistent tone, I believe the revisions I made were in line with improving the article's accuracy and relevance.

I'm open to constructive feedback and suggestions on how to better align with Wikipedia's standards, I would appreciate to not see my work be cancelled instead have some suggestion to make it fit the tone.

Best regards,

Vic01toire

Vic01toire (talk) 07:28, 16 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Vic01toire, your work is not "cancelled"; it was reverted because it was not written in the encyclopedic tone that Wikipedia is written in. Reverting an edit does not mean "cancellation", it means someone else disagrees with it and feels the article was better before. Please see Wikipedia:Dispute resolution for guidance on this; Wikipedia is written by many people who will all eventually disagree with something at some point, and Wikipedia is built as a result of people with differences working to resolve disputes. Using terms such as "cancelled" is simply not correct and may inhibit your ability to resolve disputes, because it implies that you believe other people have an agenda to silence you.
Your edit here looks like something found on the company's "About Us" page, not something in an encyclopedia. Wikipedia is written in the style of an academic paper, so it presents the facts "with a straight face", not with the perspective of an employee at the company. For an example of encyclopedic tone, see a featured article and take note of the way it is written. It also removed a lot of sourced material, particularly those in the "Controversy" section; Wikipedia is about verifiability, not truth. Information that is well supported by reliable sources is what's reported on Wikipedia, not material that something believes to be truthful. Even if you think something isn't true based on your own perspective, that's not justification to remove it from Wikipedia if it's been supported by reliable sources. Wikipedia is a reflection of what reliable sources report on a topic, not an independent curator of information.
You may find it difficult to write about Wikipedia on these terms because you're receiving payment for these contributions; as such, you have a conflict of interest. Most Wikipedia editors are impartial to the topics they write about, which makes it easier to write in an encyclopedic tone. You'll need to keep your own biases in mind when drafting content about this company.
I've provided you with a lot of links to policy pages above. You may also be interested in the Teahouse, an environment for newcomers to ask questions; help on writing your first article; and the Five Pillars of Wikipedia, which summarize the core principles.
