John Jay Article

Hey, I don't know how to leave a signature so sorry about that but saw your edit. Those were college majors (have provided a link to the correct source), I don't know if it's against WP policy to list the majors the college offers (if it does, please feel free to let me know or undo it and I apologize) but wanted to give you the heads up. Anyway, it is dedicated to Criminal Justice, hence the college's name (John Jay College of Criminal Justice). Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.41.108.33 (talk • contribs) 22:16, November 4, 2021 (UTC)

Discouraged vs Encouraged

Hi, while it is true that COI editors are only "strongly discouraged" from making direct edits, I'm not sure it is very useful at COIN to essentially encourage a clearly very opinionated admitted COI user in a way that they will surely interpret as "it is not prohibited". As you know, the areas under discussion are infested with many extreme COI/PROMO editors as it is, without inviting another one to join those ranks. Axad12 (talk) 18:22, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome to propose that the policy be changed. But it's not ethical to tell editors that it says something that it doesn't say. ElKevbo (talk) 18:54, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It was an honest oversight on my part, I'd previously acknowledged "strongly discouraged" earlier in the same thread. Your suggestion that I've behaved in an unethical way, meanwhile, is an obvious breach of WP:AGF and a personal attack which I suggest that you retract.

Just a thought here...

A few weeks ago, you and I had a minor disagreement on a semantics/procedural issue on a COI edit request.

The following day a user appeared at COIN and started a thread about you [1], pinging me at the end of the initial post. The user had obviously seen our disagreement on your talk page and at the COI edit request and had hoped that I'd turn up to support them.

Instead I was there within an hour of the original post, speaking very strongly on your behalf and saying the thread was completely without merit.

That isn't what an unethical user looks like. So cut me some slack, eh? Whatever minor disagreements we may have I'm sure we both know that ultimately we're on the same side. Axad12 (talk) 21:10, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
