==Be well at Christmas==
Hey Dranster and welcome to Wiki! I looked at your user page and have the impression that you are growing into a good editor. Wiki is incredibly complex and the more I learn, the more I realize I don't know. So we are all students of Wiki. Anyway I am flattered that you have asked me for advice.
{| style="background-color: #fdffe7; border: 4px solid #FFD700;"
Some tips that I have found useful when involved with disputes on talk pages are:
|rowspan="2" style="vertical-align: middle; padding: 2px;" | ]
* Remain calm, friendly, respectful and civil
|style="font-size: x-large; padding: 2px 2px 0 2px; height: 1.5em;" | '''Have a WikiChristmas and a PediaNewYear'''
* Talk only about the edits not about the behavior of other editors
|-
* Compliment or thank editors when they do something you like or appreciate
|style="vertical-align: middle; padding: 3px;" |
* Make your argument based on Wiki policy rather than your personal opinion
----
* Avoid going head to head with an editor, ask: What do other editors think? and bring others into the discussion.
'''Be well. Keep well. Have a lovely Christmas. ] (]) 18:33, 24 December 2019 (UTC)
You are probably doing most or all of these things already. If things still are not working, then you can also request a third party opinion. See ] for more info on this.
|}
If you have more questions let me know. It is not considered good practice to invite a friendly editor to join your side in a dispute but since I am already active on the Palin article, I am always happy to join a discussion if I think I can add something of value. Like every human being I have my likes and dislikes but I try my best to be a neutral editor.--] (]) 02:08, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi KeithBob,

Thank you for your words of advice. I will use each of the tips you have offered. Being new to Misplaced Pages, I want to make sure I am following all of the right steps to come to a consensus on this issue. The one thing I don't want to do is turn this into pointless battle. In fact, I am waiting a day or so to respond to the latest edits that have been made to the article. Thanks again for the advice.--] (]) 13:39, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

* Generally speaking Wiki likes to preserve content. So an editor should have a pretty good reason for deleting a sentence or section from an article. This generally makes the burden of proof, so to speak, with the editor who wants to delete. Usually when I delete something I cite a Wiki policy as my reason in the Edit Summary box. For example: "Removed self promoting sentence see WP:POV see also talk page". My use of that Wiki policy can still be disputed but it puts me on pretty solid ground to start. If it's an article where other editors are active I will then make an entry on the talk page saying what I did and why. This shows I am being up front with my edits and I'm a team player.
* If I am working on an article that is contentious and/or on probation then I would be more careful and I would go to the talk page first and give my proposal, get consensus and then make the change. If an editor skips that process and just makes a deletion without discussion than I would consider that to be poor behavior and I would bring it up on the talk page and get the support of other editors and then reverse the deletion by the offending editor.
* Reversing someone's edits needs to be carefully considered because no one likes it and it almost always gets an emotional reaction. If it goes back and forth between editors without a discussion or consensus then it becomes an edit war and this could lead to problems for one or both of the editors involved.If I revert someone's edit I always go to the talk page and explain why and get a dialogue going. Communication is key.--] (]) 17:17, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Hey Kbob, just wanted to take a moment and say thanks for the help and insight you've provided regarding the '']'' page. It seems your presence has helped keep things from getting out of control. Though I've always tried to stick to official, verifiable sources, your input has been a reminder to me to keep a careful eye on information that's included in articles. ] (]) 21:00, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

==Palin Ancestry==

Hi Kbob,

Is the correct process to start a dialogue on the Palin talk or to engage the specific party? I want to start moving forward on this issue Thanks, --] (]) 23:10, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi Dranster, If you want to communicate to a particular editor then best to do it on his user page but be careful as it could get confrontational, and that's not good. However, if you are concerned about something in the article then bring it up on the talk page of the article so that all the editors can give their input and you can avoid a one on one disagreement that doesn't go anywhere. The Palin article has several strong, experienced editors so that's a great place to bring up stuff about the article. Just remember that talk page discussion is always about the article content and not about the behavior of an editor. If you have an issue with an editors behavior than that can be brought up to administration but through a whole different method and I don't think you need or want to do that. I hope that's the info you needed.--] (]) 12:28, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

== TM article - recent edits ==

Kbob, just wanted to say it is a pleasure working on this with you at the moment. I think this maybe the way to edit: quick and to the point with both of is making sure the edit reflects the sources and neither of us accidentally incorporate weasel wording, POV, etc. And also, logically and without "temper" This is a genuine compliant. Thank you. Perhaps, we might try addressing the Otis study in the same manner? Although, I have to leave home now would be happy to do so later ] (]) 16:27, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

== Re: Fladriff: COI Noticeboard post ==

Sure, you can strike it through or just add a notice that you've posted at the Admins' Noticeboard and that you will pursue the matter there instead. Or do both if you want. I personally don't know how much success you'll have there. You've stated, "Fladrif has engaged in a continued pattern of disruptive behavior." I read into that, that your intention is to show that Fladrif is a disruptive editor which is appropriate for that noticeboard. I'm not an administrator but I ''think'' that they might see your evidence as showing a content dispute, and might recommend going through ]. That can be a long process with many steps that could eventually lead to the ArbCom. ArbCom could bring sanctions against Fladrif such as topic-bans or an extended block, but it's really slow, and you need to exhaust everything else at ] first.

] might be faster than going through regular dispute resolution and it's definitely slower than ], but it might have a greater chance of success. It might also not go anywhere, you need to show that you've attempted to settle things with Fladrif directly and that those attempts have failed.

Basically, ] is your way of saying, "Help, I need an Administrator to do something!" ] is your way of saying, "I think this guy is hurting the encyclopedia, I've tried to work with him but I can't, please do something." ] is a way of slowly escalating an issue a bit at a time, first asking for an uninvolved editor to comment, then asking the whole community to come in and comment, then asking for a mediator to try to resolve the problems, then finally bringing things to Misplaced Pages's version of a court. You can look at each page to see which you think applies in your situation. Just know that for the most part it doesn't hurt to simply ask at one of those places, as long as you're doing so in good faith, and I think you are. -- ''']]''' 19:37, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

== Re:Customize User Name ==

I had some help at first, see my ] for some tips from the super-awesome ]. Basically, though, my best advice is to look at a signature you like and look at the code used to produce it (one way to do that is to edit a section that an editor signed where it shows the plain text of the signature). Then "tweak" it however you like. If you use HTML color codes, there's a ] that will help you figure out what code goes with what color. What I specifically did in my signature was to make each letter of my username a progressively darker blue, until the last letter was almost black. Then the link to my talk page is just the color black, with a superscript markup. I used to have it be red fading to black but I noticed too many other people doing the same thing, plus the red was garish. -- ''']]''' 18:52, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

== Re: Award ==

Thank you Kbob. I appreciate the award, it means a lot to me. :)

Just an FYI, it looks like your signature isn't pointing to the correct user page anymore. I think it needs to point to your actual account name in front of the pipes "|" to redirect people to your proper page, it's currently trying to go to User:Kbob which doesn't exist.

Right now it says:

<nowiki>]]</nowiki>

Keithbob, you're the principal editor of ], having made more than a third of the edits to the article. Can you affirm that you have no connections to the entities or people discussed in the article? If the people are your friends or colleagues, or if you have business ties to the entities, then I think any reasonable person would presume that a conflict of interest exists. &nbsp; <b>]&nbsp; ]&nbsp; </b> 18:53, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

::I am asking you to either affirm that you have no conflicts of interest regarding the TM-related topics you're editing, or to avoid editing them. In other words, if you do have a conflict of interest you do not need to disclose it, but if there are significant undisclosed ties to the entities and people in those articles then you should stop editing them. For example if you are an employee of any of the organizations with MVEDC-licensed trademarks, or a personal friend of any of the researchers, then those would be obvious conflicts of interest when writing about TM-related topics. If you can honestly say that you have no such connections then that would satisfy my concern. &nbsp; <b>]&nbsp; ]&nbsp; </b> 21:31, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

:::::::Thanks for your response, but it ducks the question. Because of the lack of any statement to the contrary, it's hard to escape the conclusion that you do have an undisclosed conflict of interest.

::::::::The only thing I am ducking are your tricky attempts to get me to disclose personal information.

:::::::::I'm not singling you out. I've made this request of all editors involved with the MVAH article. For the nth time - I'm not asking for any personal information, and I certainly don't have any "devious personal agenda". My agenda is exactly what I've said it is - to ensure that the TM-related articles are not skewed by editors with conflicts of interest. You are one of the principal editors of the topic, and the fact that you will not confirm that you are free from conflicts of interest is worrisome. Hidden COIs are the worst kind, and they don't reflect well on Misplaced Pages or the TM movement. &nbsp; <b>]&nbsp; ]&nbsp; </b> 18:31, 21 November 2009 (UTC)
::::::::::I have repeatedly stated that I am aware of Wiki policy on COI and that I edit in accordance with that policy and with Wiki's best interests. I am a neutral editor. But you continue to pursue me to express your concerns about how I make a living and who are my associates. You say because I am 'principle editor' I deserve to be interrogated on COI issues. Is that some new Wiki policy? I am also the principle editor on the ] and ] articles. Will you next be telling me that if I work at the Dean Foods plant or if I went to college with Stephen Gill I should stop editing those articles? And if I don't respond to your inquiries in a way that satisfies you, will you tell me that my reluctance is "troubling" and "worriesome" and reflects badly on the Dean Foods corporation? At the present time what I am most worried about is your lack of regard for the rights of a Wiki editor and the questionable use of your administrative role.--<span style="font-family:Verdana,sans-serif"> — ] • ] • </span> 19:11, 21 November 2009 (UTC)
:::::::::::If you have conflicts related to Dean Foods or Gill then you should handle those properly too. And yes, the conflicts of editors who've made more than half of the edits to an article are of greater concern than those of editors who've only made a couple of edits. I'm sorry that you are unwilling to affirm that you are free from conflicts of interest regarding the articles which you are actively editing. I don't think your flat assertions that you are editing according to Misplaced Pages's policies and practices will resolve this issue and, just as it has several times in the past, this issue will probably continue to fester. &nbsp; <b>]&nbsp; ]&nbsp; </b> 19:41, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

That’s exactly the point. I have no conflicts of interest on any of the articles that I edit and a large number of edits to an article does not provide grounds for accusing me of COI. It’s ironic, that during the month of November, you Will, are the #1 contributor to the ] article with 46 edits while I sit in 6th place with only 11 edits during the same month. Maybe an Administrator should be interrogating you about your potential conflicts of interest ie. pushing editors around with your Admin status on an article(s) you actively edit? You also seem to pick and choose who you want give the third degree to. An editor like Fladrif who has a history of personal attacks and discipline gets little or no action from you even when its posted on your user page.Instead you ignore bad behavior and wait for another Admin to respond. At the same time you seem to have plenty of time to spend having long discussions with other editors over alleged COI issues. And so I ask the question. Exactly what proof do you have that tells you that I am violating COI? Is it the accusations of an abusive editor who has asked for your adminstrative help?
Do you have proof of biased editing on my part or are you just repeating the obviously biased, personal attacks from an editor like Fladrif?--<span style="font-family:Verdana,sans-serif"> — ] • ] • </span> 16:30, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

Help with HubSpot

Hi, Keithbob! Hope you are well and don't mind my reaching out to you. I see that you've been offline a bit recently, so am dropping a note here in the hopes it reaches you. Previously, you'd a series of constructive edits to HubSpot and I'm wondering if you could give three edit HubSpot-related edit requests of mine a second review? All three were declined recently by an editor going through the edit request queue, but that editor has not responded to my responses to him.

The requests include:

I have a conflict of interest as I'm here on behalf of HubSpot through my work with Beutler Ink, so I'm seeking editors to review my requests. I appreciate any input. Thanks in advance! 16912 Rhiannon (Talk · COI) 19:44, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
