Wendigo image

I suspect people will keep removing the image until some referenced material backs up the image. I recommend adding some sources that confirm it is a depiction of a wendigo...cheers, Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 20:11, 7 November 2017 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, SteveBenassi. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the article Wendigo, 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:

• 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 {{request edit}} template);
• disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
• avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
• do your best to comply with Misplaced Pages's 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 WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Since the person who claims to have discovered this so-called carving is named Steve Benassi, it appears that you have a conflict of interest in publicizing this.

Since you link your user page to one of Steve Benassi's off-Misplaced Pages pages, it is clear that you are claiming to be Steve Benassi. Meters (talk) 05:54, 6 January 2018 (UTC)

January 2018

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Wendigo. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Misplaced Pages's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Meters (talk) 05:50, 6 January 2018 (UTC)

You have added this image four times now. It has been discussed on the talk page and there is clear consensus that this picture should no tbe in the article. Stop adding it. Meters (talk) 05:51, 6 January 2018 (UTC)

ANI Notice

There is currently a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Skllagyook (talk) 04:44, 9 May 2021 (UTC)

Hi SteveBenassi! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Misplaced Pages – it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you. Shrike (talk) 06:31, 9 May 2021 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Eran Elhaik shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Edit warring

OhNoitsJamie 15:48, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

Just a word of advice. Don't revert anything. You never know - wait a day or a week or whatever and someone out there might do, or support, the edit you yourself wish to make. No one is alone. Yes, Misplaced Pages content can be a numbers game at time, but getting sucked into revert or edit wars, rather than exercising patience and doing a lot of small but incremental work no one would challenge, is, in those cases, is self-defeating. Some good edits take months, as one works through the various processes. It's crazy, and not the norm, but detachment, rather than being cornered, is what stable editing requires.Nishidani (talk) 07:56, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
