Managing a conflict of interest[edit]
Hello, Marcus Beyer. 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 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, company, organization or competitors;
- propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} 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 WP:Spam);
- 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. Guy (help!) 08:43, 1 October 2019 (UTC)
Marcus, the above is not optional. Per our terms of use you need to declare your commercial interest or you will be blocked for violating Wikipedia's terms of use. Guy (help!) 17:04, 1 October 2019 (UTC)
- I see. Is it OK like this? mbee (talk) 17:17, 1 October 2019 (UTC)
- If you are this Marcus Beyer then emphatically not. That would require you, at a minimum, to declare that you are employed by a cryonics company. Guy (help!) 07:11, 2 October 2019 (UTC)
- I am not employed by a cryonics company. And that group you linked is a DIY group which does everything for free. It is certainly not a company. You know nothing, Guy. mbee (talk) 07:15, 2 October 2019 (UTC)
- That is a non-denial denial. If that is you then you have a conflict and need to declare it. Guy (help!) 07:20, 2 October 2019 (UTC)
- The information on that page was obsolete and has been corrected. Now I do not wish to discuss my identity any further WP:PRIVACY. mbee (talk) 09:41, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
- Not asking you to discuss your identity, just give us context for your aggressive attempts to push back on reality-based content at Cryonics (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views). I think that is now established, so we are done here. Guy (help!) 10:07, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
- This is not about me pushing back on reality-based content, this is about your crusade against cryonics – e.g. citing non-relevant sources and ignoring the relevant ones. And the reason for me being a little aggressive is because you play unfair and thus deserve it. mbee (talk) 10:37, 5 October 2019 (UTC)
- Wikipedia is a reality-based project, whereas the available scientific evidence says that cryonics is not. This is really not our problem to fix. We're also engaged in a "crusade" against creationism, flat earth theory, homeopathy and cold fusion. For exactly the same reason. Guy (help!) 10:56, 5 October 2019 (UTC)
- Relevant sources say cryonics is a legitimate approach (e.g. from David W. Crippen, professor in the Departments of Critical Care Medicine and Neurological Surgery, University of Pittsburgh. Robert J. Shmookler Reis is a professor in the Departments of Geriatrics, Biochemistry & Molecular Biology, and Pharmacology/ Toxicology at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. (source)). Until now you provide no relevant sources saying the opposite. mbee (talk) 11:04, 5 October 2019 (UTC)
