Hi Pablo why did you think my edits on precognition related the random number algorithm were not constructive ? Would you care to comment on your work as an operative for the Republican National Committee, and how your edits to Wikipedia are actually paid edits — paid for on behalf of the RNC by companies affiliated with the Russian Federation? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.90.98.87 (talk) 17:13, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

Please clarify your accusations. Looking forward to your reply! - PabloMartinez (talk) 17:16, 11 May 2020

Hi Pablo, Why did you think my edits were vandalism? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:E000:1610:AA1:B172:8A24:FBF9:2F3D (talk) 20:45, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

My mistake. Looks like a good faith edit. A guy called bum. Who would have thought? ;) - PabloMartinez (talk) 20:47, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

Autobiography

Hi Pablo, why have you placed the autobiography tag on a page I created instead of the CoI? The use template for the autobiography tag clearly says 'It should be used only when autobiographical content in a Wikipedia article has been reasonably well established, not when it is merely suspected.' Going by the comments on the talk page CoI is all that was suspected. I've made edits and delete requests to pages of colleagues of this subject which would be unpopular with them and will put her at risk for real world harm. If you must have a CoI tag, no worries, but I'd kindly ask you to remove the inappropriately used autobiography tag. Thanks! EuryaleGorgon (talk) 15:40, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

What is your connection to the subject of the article? Because it seems highly promotional, and if not autobiographical, then at least there is a connection, which is why I flagged it to begin with. - PabloMartinez (talk) 16:32, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi Pablo, I don't believe this is the correct use of the autobiographical tag. If you suspect or know of a conflict of interest, there's a tag for that: CoI. You don't have any proof this is autobiographical, so it seems to me you've escalated this beyond the wiki guidelines. Unless you have proof something is autobiographical (like that the author declares it to be so in comments, or they use their real name as their wiki username, thereby waiving anonymity), my understanding is the CoI tag is supposed to be used. This is all discussed in the template for the autobiographical tag itself. Anyway, yes, a CoI tag is warranted here as I do know or know of most of the subjects of the biographical pages I have edited. FWIW as I said to another editor, I was following the example of pre-existing wikipedia pages for people with similar backgrounds and achievements when I created this eg Bryan Gaensler, Warrick Couch which read similarly (at least to me). If the tone is wrong, no worries, happy for people to fix it, but slapping an autobiography tag on with zero discussion and zero proof isn't consistent with the wiki guidelines, hence my request for you to remove it, please. EuryaleGorgon (talk) 17:46, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

So to clarify, you are editing with a conflict of interest, but you are not Melanie Johnston-Holitt? My tag reads as follows: "This article is an autobiography or has been extensively edited by the subject or by someone connected to the subject." Am I wrong in my assumptions? - PabloMartinez (talk) 18:00, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi Pablo, being "connected to the subject" doesn't automatically make something autobiographical, it may mean there is a CoI. I reiterate I believe you have used the autobiographical tag here incorrectly, and I'm just asking you to rectify this to use CoI instead, please EuryaleGorgon (talk) 18:43, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

Directly - are you writing about yourself in this article? - PabloMartinez (talk) 18:48, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

Dear Pablo, unfortunately now you are breaking Wikipedia's harassment policy. You are not allowed to ask anonymous editors if they are a particular person. Please see the appropriate sections of the harassment policy, and elsewhere on attempted outing in the Wikipedia guidelines. Sadly, I don't think we are going to reach the consensus that Wikipedia strives for. EuryaleGorgon (talk) 19:14, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

You posted on my talk page questioning why I tagged the article as autobiographical. I asked if it was autobiographical, and somehow I am harassing you? I'm sorry but in good faith I believe that was the correct tag. I'm happy to hear arguments to the contrary, but accusing me of harassment for responding to your posts on my talk page is in poor taste. Especially when you could have simply confirmed, denied, or abstained. It really seems that you are trying to bully me into changing a goodfaith edit. - PabloMartinez (talk) 20:45, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

Pablomartinez, just as a note, they are clearly declining to provide that information. Asking is acceptable, but pressing them to potentially out themselves is extremely problematic - they have admitted to a COI and I see zero reason to insist that it stay an {{autobiography}} tag instead of a COI tag. Primefac (talk) 21:29, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

While I understand now they are not wanting to give their identity, they were not "clearly" stating that. They didn't answer any question clearly at all. They could have said "I prefer to stay anonymous" or "I am not the person in the article". That is "clearly." You also say I "insist" that it stays an {{autobiography}}. I do not insist that it stays tagged as such, but I will leave that to the community. Sorry if I'm a bit touchy on this subject. I will do more research on my own to make sure I am acting in right spirit. - PabloMartinez (talk) 12:20, 14 May 2020 (UTC)

North Macedonia

Why did you delete the whole table in North Macedonia page? :/ Andrew012p (talk) 20:30, 28 May 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for bringing it to my attention. I fixed the good faith edit! Thanks for contributing. - PabloMartinez (talk) 20:35, 28 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi Pablo,

The edit to the Gareth Roberts(writer) page was perfectly legitimate.  The claim made was unsubstantiated by the reference given, as you would have seen had you checked.  As such it was indeed constructive.  I have redone the edit and expect it to stay in place until a suitable reference is found.
