ISCB Wikipedia competition 2018 - final stretch

Hi Bm208613, thanks for signing up as a participant in the ISCB Wikipedia competition. The period for eligible edits will end on May 25 (UTC), just over four weeks from now. On behalf of the organizers, I would like to encourage you to move forward along this final stretch of the event and finish any remaining edits: as a reminder, your claimed article is BioMart. If you've any questions or comments, I would be happy to read them on my talk page, or on the competition talk page. Thanks, and good luck! Amkilpatrick (talk) 08:45, 26 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop adding how-to information to the BioMart article. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. It is not a guide, an advertising site, or a number of other things. The "reference" you added is also not appropriate; Wikipedia articles are cited to verifiable, reliable, independent, third-party published sources.

Finally, your name gives the impression that you may have a conflict of interest. Editing with a conflict of interest is strongly discouraged. If you think the article could be improved, you should bring up the matter on its talk page. NewEnglandYankee (talk) 23:11, 1 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on BioMart. 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 Wikipedia'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.

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. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add soapboxing, promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, as you did at BioMart, you may be blocked from editing. NewEnglandYankee (talk) 23:31, 1 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
