Hi Earl Andrew,
It is November 13, 2023. More than 30 days have passed and I have not heard from you with any objection. As per my outreach to you on Oct 11 2023, I have followed the Wikipedia policy outlined in WP:COI and flagged the conflict of interest you identified on your user page for the consideration of other Wikipedians on the articles for Peter Julian and Bruce Hyer.
Please keep the following in mind:
Hello, Earl Andrew. We
welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things
you have written about on the page
Peter Julian, 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 {{ edit COI}} 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.

Earl Andrew,
You continue to violate previous warnings that your self-acknowledged position as an employee of Ekos Research Associates constitutes a conflict of interest. As per WP:COI please stop directly editing the article and instead propose changes on the talk page.
Alternately we can escalate the issue to the Conflict of Interest Noticeboard for community review and action.
Let me know your preference.
Your second formal COI warning regarding Ekos Research Associates is below.

talk page stalker) Balancingakt, this is starting to resemble
WP:HOUNDING. If you want to escalate the issue to COIN or to ANI, that is your perogative, but seeing as you are focusing primarily on this user's actions (despite them politely saying they
do not wish to discuss this with you further) may lead to admonishment on your end as well.
Bkissin (
talk) 15:06, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
- @ Bkissin
- Could you please explain how this is an example of hounding? My outreach and action is limited to implementing Wikipedia's policy for a very narrow number of clear conflict of interests, which Earl Andrew self-identified. The issue keeps returning because Earl persists in disruptively violating WP:COI (eg see his recent false reporting of "vandalism" to revert my edits and restore his unsourced, promotional content on his employer's Wikipedia page).
- Are you asserting that Earl's demand that I drop the issue of his conflict of interest constitutes a formal, authoritative ban per WP:IBAN? Earl is free to ignore my outreach to constructively resolve his conflicts of interest. A user's talk page is as much a space for messages to them as it is a record of warnings, ignored outreach, and their behavior for other Wikipedians' reference. It is not private property. Do other Wikipedians not deserve a record of what happened, particularly if this goes to COIN?
- I hope you are not suggesting that as long as a user is persistent in their violations of Wikipedia policy and they request an end to any action on that policy, then WP:HOUNDING should shield them from anyone documenting things or enforcing policy.
- Your continued advocacy in light of Earl's persistent negative behavior is concerning. I note here that this is the second time you have quickly arrived to insert yourself in talk page discussion on his behalf. I maintain good faith but am at a loss to understand how you originally became so quickly aware of our talk page discussion unless he requested you to join or you were already allied in some other way. You acknowledged that you have history with Earl. If Earl's behavior is escalated to COIN for review, I hope you will allow truly neutral, uninvolved Wikipedians to decide things.
- Thank you for clarifying. Balancingakt ( talk) 22:07, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
- On 13 November 2023 I edited the Ekos Research Associates page to clean out content that violates WP:Verifiability as well as WP:Promotional, WP:Logos, and WP:COI.
- Noting here for the record that Earl Andrew has reverted my edit three times in the 24 hours from 14:24, 13 November 2023 to 13:32, 14 November 2023.
- Earl's direct edits are in violation of WP:COI, as they have self-identified as an employee of Ekos Research Associates and has been warned multiple times here and on their talk page. Earl continued to revert, claiming my removal was vandalism, without providing any evidence or explanation. Earl has an increasingly lengthy record of disruptive and uncivil behaviour on that page.
- Given the persistent display of bad faith, a level 2 warning for disruptive editing has been noted below.
-
Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia. Your edits appear to be
disruptive and have been or will be
reverted.
- If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
- If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.
Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Balancingakt ( talk) 23:08, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

Hello Earl Andrew,
I'm Cielquiparle, and I patrol new pages here on Wikipedia.
I wanted to let you know that I have tagged a page that you created ( Winnipeg West) for deletion because it is unnecessary per one of the criteria at WP:G14.
If you feel that the page shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can remove the speedy deletion tag from the top. If the page is already deleted by the time you come across this message and you wish to retrieve the deleted material, please contact the deleting administrator.
For any further query, please leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Cielquiparle}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ . Thanks!

Thanks for pointing to the obvious source and helping to fill in the details on the SK Scotties champions. I should say, the work you did on the Ottawa Curling Club (and curling broadly) helped inspire me to improve some of the coverage of SK curling. Cheers!

I overhauled the page listing curling facilities in the United States last year, and I noticed today that you've put a "directory" tag at the top. I'm not really sure how else to do the page. It's a list, after all. Happy to discuss any suggestions you have, though. Bdure ( talk) 02:34, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
- @ Bdure: Hi, thanks for all your hard work on the article. I think looking back, my biggest issue is the fact that there are so many external links to the clubs themselves in the list. This should be avoided on Wikipedia. See WP:ELLIST. Perhaps a separate column for website links would be OK, but the only links for the clubs themselves should be internal links to Wikipedia articles. E.g. " Detroit Curling Club" not " Detroit Curling Club". Cheers. -- Earl Andrew - talk 15:21, 4 March 2024 (UTC)

Earl Andrew -

If it remains empty for seven days or more, it may be deleted under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and removing the speedy deletion tag. Liz Read! Talk! 01:35, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
Can you explain why the update for Team Edin's (2023-24) season was removed? Talk! (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by T72Pol2020 ( talk • contribs)
- @ T'Pol: Hello, it was not removed, it was moved to after the section on the spinner.-- Earl Andrew - talk 19:06, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
- Your version HAS BROKEN the MAIN SUBHEADING (2023-2026) because you have added SEPARTE SUBEADING WITHIN A SUBHEADING and you have BROKEN the chroonlogy.
- I understand why you did it afer 2023, but now that 2024-2026 are coming but you have now ORPHANED that part of the 2024-2026 under "THE SPINNER" that is now WITHOUT the subheading.
- I created this heading BEFORE you added the spinner.
- As a Swede, I have spent four years on this page since 2020 trying to make this accurate with citations to Swedish sources (as oppoed to English website pages that had to be replaced) and and to make this flow the way TEAM EDIN has envisions their play, which is the Olympic Cycle (both under my first name that was hacked (MoSjoberg) and my other username.
- PLEASE MOVE THE SPINNER to a special section so it does NOT beak up the 2023-2026. There is no reason not to make the spinner with is own heading under a special section. T72Pol2020 ( talk) 16:22, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
- To clarify, the heading is 2022-2026: The Road to Olympics. "The Spinner" is now the heading for 2023-2026 but without a marker or reason for it.
- It is not AFTER the Spinner. You have made 2023-206 part of The Spinner.
- I recommend you make a specicif full section to honour all the work you did on the SPINNER and leave the 2023-2026 to stay in the Olynpic Cycle that Team Edin is striving for.
T72Pol2020 (
talk) 16:35, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
- Hello, no need to use CAPSLOCK, we can reach an agreement here I'm sure. I've removed the subheading for the spinner and added subheadings for the individual seasons. Hopefully that will suffice. 18:01, 15 April 2024 (UTC) -- Earl Andrew - talk 18:01, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing to the obvious source and helping to fill in the details on the SK Scotties champions. I should say, the work you did on the Ottawa Curling Club (and curling broadly) helped inspire me to improve some of the coverage of SK curling. Cheers!

- @ Other justin: No problem, and thank you for your recent additions! Feel free to join our Wikiproject ( WP:CURLING) if you plan on working on more curling articles. :-) -- Earl Andrew - talk 00:03, 7 February 2024 (UTC)

I have removed some of the detailed biographic information you added to Ariel Troster at the request of a family member of hers who reached out to me. Although you may have done it in good faith, please keep in mind WP:BLPPRIVACY. Dan Carkner ( talk) 19:43, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
I overhauled the page listing curling facilities in the United States last year, and I noticed today that you've put a "directory" tag at the top. I'm not really sure how else to do the page. It's a list, after all. Happy to discuss any suggestions you have, though. Bdure ( talk) 02:34, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
- @ Bdure: Hi, thanks for all your hard work on the article. I think looking back, my biggest issue is the fact that there are so many external links to the clubs themselves in the list. This should be avoided on Wikipedia. See WP:ELLIST. Perhaps a separate column for website links would be OK, but the only links for the clubs themselves should be internal links to Wikipedia articles. E.g. " Detroit Curling Club" not " Detroit Curling Club". Cheers. -- Earl Andrew - talk 15:21, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
Just wanted to confirm that you are accepting edits made by a sockpuppet? See the history. CambridgeBayWeather (solidly non-human), Uqaqtuq (talk), Huliva 17:12, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
- @
CambridgeBayWeather: Hello, I figured something like that was up. However, the edits made there were correct, you were reverting to an incorrect version of the article. The riding no longer exists, so its list of MPs should end at 2015. --
Earl Andrew -
talk 17:16, 31 March 2024 (UTC)
- OK. Thanks. That means that several of us were reverting to an old version. Some of the other edits they made were useful as well. I know I added some back to the Nunavut ones.

- Taking a look at the article's history, it wasn't even an old version - it looks like they actually made constructive edits. I'd imagine they made constructive edits elsewhere too. -- Earl Andrew - talk 17:23, 31 March 2024 (UTC)

Hi, you protected this article in 2020, now that almost 4 years has elapsed (as well as the height of the pandemic over), I was thinking protection can now be lifted? LibStar ( talk) 03:18, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
- This should probably be discussed on the talk page. I'd imagine there may be still some conspiracy theorist types who would like to vandalize the article.--

- @ LibStar I'm not convinced, but I'm open to it if there's a consensus -- Earl Andrew - talk 22:32, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

Can you explain why the update for Team Edin's (2023-24) season was removed? Talk! (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by T72Pol2020 ( talk • contribs)
- @ T'Pol: Hello, it was not removed, it was moved to after the section on the spinner.-- Earl Andrew - talk 19:06, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
- Your version HAS BROKEN the MAIN SUBHEADING (2023-2026) because you have added SEPARTE SUBEADING WITHIN A SUBHEADING and you have BROKEN the chroonlogy.
- I understand why you did it afer 2023, but now that 2024-2026 are coming but you have now ORPHANED that part of the 2024-2026 under "THE SPINNER" that is now WITHOUT the subheading.
- I created this heading BEFORE you added the spinner.
- As a Swede, I have spent four years on this page since 2020 trying to make this accurate with citations to Swedish sources (as oppoed to English website pages that had to be replaced) and and to make this flow the way TEAM EDIN has envisions their play, which is the Olympic Cycle (both under my first name that was hacked (MoSjoberg) and my other username.
- PLEASE MOVE THE SPINNER to a special section so it does NOT beak up the 2023-2026. There is no reason not to make the spinner with is own heading under a special section. T72Pol2020 ( talk) 16:22, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
- To clarify, the heading is 2022-2026: The Road to Olympics. "The Spinner" is now the heading for 2023-2026 but without a marker or reason for it.
- It is not AFTER the Spinner. You have made 2023-206 part of The Spinner.
- I recommend you make a specicif full section to honour all the work you did on the SPINNER and leave the 2023-2026 to stay in the Olynpic Cycle that Team Edin is striving for.

- Hello, no need to use CAPSLOCK, we can reach an agreement here I'm sure. I've removed the subheading for the spinner and added subheadings for the individual seasons. Hopefully that will suffice. 18:01, 15 April 2024 (UTC) -- Earl Andrew - talk 18:01, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
