Hi Technoir2. I work on conflict of interest issues here in Wikipedia, along with my regular editing. [[Special:Contributions/Technoir2|Your edits to date]] are '''very''' promotional with regard to Dash. Lots of people come to Wikipedia with some sort of conflict of interest and are not aware of how we manage it. 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. |

[[File:Information.svg|25px|alt=Information icon]] Hello, Technoir2. We [[Wikipedia:Welcoming committee/Welcome to Wikipedia|welcome]] your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things [[Special:Contributions/Technoir2|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. See the '''[[Wikipedia:Conflict of interest|conflict of interest guideline]]''' and [[Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations|FAQ for organizations]] for more information. We ask that you: |
|||
*'''avoid editing or creating''' articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors; |
|||
* '''propose changes''' on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{tl|request edit}} template); |
|||
* '''disclose''' your COI when discussing affected articles (see [[Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI|WP:DISCLOSE]]); |
|||
*'''avoid linking''' to your organization's website in other articles (see [[Wikipedia:Spam|WP:SPAM]]); |
|||
*'''do your best''' to comply with Wikipedia's [[Wikipedia:Core content policies|content policies]]. |
|||
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 [[Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure|WP:PAID]]). |
|||
Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you.<!-- THE FOLLOWING CATEGORY SHOULD BE REMOVED IF THE USER IS BLOCKED, OR IT IS DECIDED THAT THIS USER DOES NOT HAVE A COI, OR THIS TEMPLATE HAS BEEN IN PLACE FOR A WHILE WITH NO ACTION. -->{{#ifexpr: ({{CURRENTTIMESTAMP}} - 20180604183908) < 5000000000 | [[Category:User talk pages with conflict of interest notices|{{PAGENAME}}]] | }}<!-- Template:uw-coi --> |

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. Unmanaged conflicts of interest can also lead to people behaving in ways that violate our behavioral policies and cause [[WP:DISRUPTION|disruption]] in the normal editing process. Managing conflict of interest well, also protects conflicted editors ''themselves'' - please see [[WP:Wikipedia is in the real world]], and [[Conflict-of-interest editing on Wikipedia]] for some guidance and stories about people who have brought bad press upon themselves through unmanaged conflict of interest editing. |
|||
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). Please be aware that holding a cryptocurrency constitutes a conflict of interest in Wikipedia. |
|||
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 XXX, 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, and if you are editing for pay or the expectation of being paid, you must disclose that. After you respond (and you can just reply below), if it is relevant 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! [[User:Jytdog|Jytdog]] ([[User talk:Jytdog|talk]]) 18:39, 4 June 2018 (UTC) |

Technoir2, you are invited to the Teahouse!
Hi Technoir2! Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. We hope to see you there!

A community decision has authorised the use of general sanctions for pages related to the blockchain and cryptocurrencies. The details of these sanctions are described here. All pages that are broadly related to these topics are subject to a one revert per twenty-four hours restriction, as described here.
General sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimise disruption in controversial topic areas. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to these topics that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behaviour, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. An editor can only be sanctioned after he or she has been made aware that general sanctions are in effect. This notification is meant to inform you that sanctions are authorised in these topic areas, which you have been editing. It is only effective if it is logged here. Before continuing to edit pages in these topic areas, please familiarise yourself with the general sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.MER-C 18:34, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
