You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute. 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.

In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Misplaced Pages is not acceptable in any amount, and breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. 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.

Blocked

Hi, Joppa Chong. I've been reading your posts on Talk:Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute, and it seems to me that you are abusing the talkpage and not discussing in good faith. This edit and this are mere trolling and timewasting, and there is a limit to how far that will be tolerated on Misplaced Pages. The second diff is very aggressive, especially considering that you had already been referred to the policy on Reliable sources. And in the middle of that discussion, you removed yet again the material that you had given no good reason for excluding from the article. You have ignored my edit warring warning above. I have blocked you for 48 hours for disruptive editing and edit warring. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Bishonen | talk 22:11, 13 May 2015 (UTC).

PS: Please don't mark substantial edits as "minor", as it is misleading. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Bishonen | talk 22:21, 13 May 2015 (UTC).

Hi, Bishonen. I apppreciate your recommendations. However, I am a little bit disappointed with your conduct and selective targeting. By doing so, you support broad systematical assaults on the objectivity of this encyclopedia. –Joppa Chong (talk) 01:11, 14 May 2015 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Misplaced Pages arbitration process.

This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Disambiguation link notification for March 22

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Donald Spitz, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Blood money. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Sunbeam Motor Car Company

Hi, I'm not disputing your deletion of Category:Companies based in Wolverhampton because I expect you know the company is somehow categorised in Wolverhampton elsewhere. But please may I know where? Thanks, Eddaido (talk) 22:08, 10 December 2016 (UTC)

Hi Eddaido, it's embedded via Category: Manufacturing companies based in Wolverhampton. —Joppa Chong (talk) 22:28, 10 December 2016 (UTC)

April 2017

Ouch! You've used a template to send a message to an experienced editor. Please review the essay Misplaced Pages:Don't template the regulars or maybe listen to a little advice. Doesn't this feel cold, impersonal, and canned? It's meant in good humour. Best wishes. -- Aunva6 06:01, 23 April 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for your information. Unfortunately, I originally was unaware of this issue and some circumstances. I regret that. However, you will also know that WP:Essays have an inofficial character. –Joppa Chong (talk) 05:00, 24 April 2017 (UTC)

WP:COI question

Considering your long-time interest in the article Center for Family and Human Rights and your many edits removing negative information and adding the organization's own view of itself, are you aware of the Conflict of interest guideline? Do you have any connection with C-Fam? Are you employed by it? Bishonen | talk 14:54, 23 April 2017 (UTC).

Of cause, there are no such problems. Sorry for the irritations but this doesn't justify hypocrisy. –Joppa Chong (talk) 05:16, 24 April 2017 (UTC)

That sounds a little vague; a conflict of interest wouldn't necessarily be a problem, though it does carry certain responsibilities. Could you please state explicitly whether you have any kind of connection with C-Fam, or not? As for hypocrisy, I don't understand you. What hypocrisy do you speak of? Please be specific. Bishonen | talk 07:53, 24 April 2017 (UTC).

I'm just a C-FAM Friday Fax newsletter subscriber, so what? I suggest it would be better to not only ask for other people's neutrality. By the way: Checking WP: Edit summary is highly recommended. –Joppa Chong (talk) 23:09, 24 April 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for answering. No, subscribing to the newsletter isn't a relationship that implies a conflict of interest, so that's fine. But your "suggestion" is strange. I'm a Misplaced Pages administrator; I'm supposed to ask people to divulge any conflict of interest it looks like they may have. Since you choose not to explain the "hypocrisy" barb, I'll assume it was just a random insult with no specific meaning (like your "vandalism" remark). Please avoid those. Bishonen | talk 23:46, 24 April 2017 (UTC).

The template I added was uw-vandalism 1 which conveys a relatively soft objection. You could initiate a plea for renaming it. I did not complain that you care for possible neutrality affairs of other users according to your role. No one should forget to questionate one's own intentions. –Joppa Chong (talk) 01:29, 25 April 2017 (UTC)

I wasn't talking about the template with its soft squishy objection, but this offensive edit summary. I'm finding it rather heavy going trying to communicate with you, so I won't waste any more time on you and your passive-aggressive hinting. Bishonen | talk 16:13, 25 April 2017 (UTC).

Dear User:Bishonen, the section above already addressed the incident. I wonder what you deem aggressivity while you keep pushing a maximum coverage of a hate group allegation against a serious think tank. –Joppa Chong (talk) 20:30, 25 April 2017 (UTC)
