It appears that you have been canvassing—notifying a biased selection of users of an ongoing community discussion—which may undermine Wikipedia's principle of consensus-building. While helpful notices are allowed, they should be limited, nonpartisan, and neutral. They should not be spammed, support one point of view or side of a debate, or be selectively sent to those who may agree with you. Thank you.

- I understand you want your page updated, but spamming a bunch of editors with your request is NOT the way to achieve this and actually hurts your cause. Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 18:38, 15 June 2026 (UTC)
- I certainly apologize for any rules violations. I confess to being confused about best practices for COI edit requests. I was looking through the edit request queue, and numerous requests are being closed for "inactivity" after three weeks. These closures are being accompanied by advice to "revive stalled communications by making contact with local editors on those editors' own talk pages, and then by moving those discussions back to this talk page." I am trying to avoid a situation where the request I posted is closed for inactivity, so I tried to make contact with (a) editors who had previously edited the UA article, and (b) relevant WikiProjects. Is there another way to avoid Wikipedia's three-week deadline for edit requests? KS at Unite America (talk) 17:06, 16 June 2026 (UTC)
