Hello, Domjh. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Cloudflare, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the COI 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 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 Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must 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 WP:PAID).

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. -- Scott Burley (talk) 22:17, 4 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Scott Burley: Could you please explain where you think my COI is? I don't work for Cloudflare. Thank you Domjh (talk) 22:22, 4 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your user page said you were a "Cloudflare MVP" until you removed it just now. I understand that's ambiguous, but it's pretty easy to construe as you being a Cloudflare employee. Your only other edits have been to the Cloudflare article, as well. -- Scott Burley (talk) 22:27, 4 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Scott Burley: I removed that from my profile to avoid confusion. It does not mean I work for them. The only reason I was editing was to remove spam that other users had added which was not related to the section they put it in or to the article in general. Domjh (talk) 22:30, 4 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Understood. However, the text added by Britishfinance is not spam or vandalism. It may or may not belong in the article, but repeatedly removing it over the objections of others is not appropriate. Please discuss it on the article talk page. Thanks. -- Scott Burley (talk) 22:37, 4 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I see what you are saying, can't say as I agree but given that you are an admin, guess you get to decide. I feel it is wrong that users are allowed to edit with things like that to discredit a company.

To be clear, I'm just declining to use the admin tools here (the other user had asked for the article to be protected), not endorsing any version of the article. That's decided by consensus, and I have no more say in it than anyone else. Cheers. -- Scott Burley (talk) 22:58, 4 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Scott Burley: OK, thanks for letting me know. Please still pass on the below. Thank you.

That's not something I can do, I'm afraid. Accounts can't be deleted, but you can request a courtesy vanishing. -- Scott Burley (talk) 23:05, 4 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

So Wikipedia is not compliant with GDPR? Thanks anyway.

@Scott Burley: Please pass this on to the right people. Under the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR), I would request that you erase all data you hold about me from your systems and remove my account from Wikipedia. Thank you. Domjh (talk) 22:55, 4 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit you made to Cloudflare, did not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use the sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Jorm As I said before. It is ridiculous that users are allowed to discredit an organisation by editing their intro on Wikipedia and that the admins then back up this nonsense. There is a section in the article for controversy. That is where it should go. Not replacing the information about the company. Once again, I am incredibly disappointed to see Wikipedia like this now and that the admins will back up such behaviour.

You deleted a reference to a full interview today with the CEO of Cloudflare in The Guardian (which is considered per WP:RP/P, one of the highest standard reliable sources in Wikipedia), and labeled it as vandalism. You also deleted a prior consensus addition in the lede (which was linked to the rationale for the Guardian article re 8chan). That is not how Wikipedia works; you should read our WP:PAG regarding articles. You should also be aware of WP:COI, given your obvious COI (that you have since deleted here, and a potential WP:SPI regarding this IP, 2601:98a:2:5ba5:8c08:b217:9636:745c. Britishfinance (talk) 00:13, 5 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Britishfinance I will ask you once more. Stop referring to some non-existent COI. The admins are backing this nonsense so I guess we all have to read a deliberately defamatory version of the article.

Oh, and while you're at it. I suggest you cease trying to contact me about this. Wikipedia are supporting this behaviour and will not let me delete my account over this nonsense.

Again, how is adding an interview with the CEO today from The Guardian defamatory? Are you saying the CEO defamed himself and that is your issue?

Also, why would you want to delete your account? Britishfinance (talk) 00:46, 5 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I am not saying the CEO did anything. I want to delete my account so I stop getting harassed by other users and stop the admins having an effect on me with their behaviour. Wikipedia has greatly disappointed me today.

My issue with the edit was the location within the article which was unsuitable, not the references provided.

But your actions say otherwise; you deleted the references twice (I don't know if you were also the IP), calling them vandalism. Nobody is here to harass you, however, if you make unfair or misrepresentative statements about other editors or their conduct, they will respond to it I'm afraid. I will leave it at that.
