Hello, I'm
Meters. I noticed that you made a comment on the page
Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard that didn't seem very
civil, so it has been removed. Wikipedia is built on collaboration, so it's one of our core principles to interact with one another in a polite and respectful manner. If you have any questions, you can leave me a message on
my talk page. Thank you.

Please stop harassing me and several other editors or else I will report you to administrators. You have been following me everywhere, reporting other editors to make your "case" against me, inserting your replies all over old discussions without any order, called me a fascist and have been fabricating numbers of users I've supposedly attacked. Stop or you will be reported. -- Mr.hmm ( talk) 12:33, 29 November 2017 (UTC)
There is currently a discussion at
Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. --

This is a followup to my comment here.
I work on conflict of interest issues here in Wikipedia, along with my regular editing. Your edits to date are promotional with regard to Deciso and its product, OPNsense, and attacking its real world rival, Rubicon Communications, LLC (Netgate) and its product PfSense. I'm giving you notice of our Conflict of Interest guideline and Terms of Use, and will have some comments and requests for you below.
Hello, ComputerRick. 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 COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. Editing for the purpose of advertising or promotion is not permitted. See the
conflict of interest guideline and
FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:
In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).
Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you.
Wikipedia is a widely-used reference work and managing conflict of interest is essential for ensuring the integrity of Wikipedia and retaining the public's trust in it. As in academia, COI is managed here in two steps - disclosure and a form of peer review. Please note that there is no bar to being part of the Wikipedia community if you want to be involved in articles where you have a conflict of interest; there are just some things we ask you to do (and if you are paid, some things you need to do).
Disclosure is the most important, and first, step. While I am not asking you to disclose your identity (anonymity is strictly protecting by our WP:OUTING policy) would you please disclose if you have some connection with Deciso or the developer community for OPNsense, directly or through a third party (e.g. a PR agency or the like)? You can answer how ever you wish (giving personally identifying information or not), but if there is a connection, please disclose it. After you respond (and you can just reply below), I can walk you through how the "peer review" part happens and then, if you like, I can provide you with some more general orientation as to how this place works. Please reply here, just below, to keep the discussion in one place. Thanks! Jytdog ( talk) 19:02, 29 November 2017 (UTC)
Hi ComputerRick. I also have wanted to ask, if you are coordinating with other editors off-Wikipedia to lobby for OPNsense here in WP. If you have been, you have been. That is what it is. The main thing I am after is to get that disclosed and managed going forward, here in WP. Thanks. Jytdog ( talk) 00:40, 1 December 2017 (UTC)
You are more than welcome to continue making quality contributions to Wikipedia. Note that because you are a logged-in user, you can create articles yourself, and don't have to post a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for Creation if you prefer.
Thank you for helping improve Wikipedia!
