Hello, I'm Gab4gab. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, St. Paul High School (Shiner, Texas), but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

I don't know what I'm doing. I'm the Advancement Director for Shiner Catholic School. The Wikipedia page lists our school incorrectly. I just want to update the pertinent information. If I'm seen as too close to the content, how do we get changes made? I handle all social media and all PR for our school. What I want to be changed the most is to change the Title from St. Paul High School to Shiner Catholic School. Our school one name - Shiner Catholic School - but we have a name for our high school and a different name for our elementary school. We try to use Shiner Catholic School as an umbrella name for the entire school.

How do I do this?

Hello Ann Slatter, welcome to Wikipedia. First of all you should properly disclose that you are a paid editor who edits Wikipedia as part of their job. The easiest way to do so is to add the following code to your user page (at User:Aslatter): {{paid|employer=Shiner Catholic School}} (if I got the formal name of your employer wrong, please adapt that). When the bureaucracy is dealt with, it's considered best practice for editors with a coflict of interest such as yourself to not edit the article in question directly but rather to propose specific changes on the article's talk page (St. Paul High School (Shiner, Texas)) and to leave it for uninvolved editors to implement the change. Regarding your specific issue, Wikipedia generally considers high schools notable enough to be article subjects, but not primary schools (at least not merely for being primary schools). Since the high school is separate enough to have its own name, we had an article only about the high school. Huon (talk) 18:09, 14 February 2019 (UTC)

Welcome!

Hello, Aslatter, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was St. Paul High School (Shiner, Texas), which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• The plain and simple conflict of interest guide
• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• Tutorial
• How to edit a page and How to develop articles
• How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
• Simplified Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Again, welcome!

changing the subject

Hello Aslatter, You are changing the subject of St. Paul High School (Shiner, Texas) without discussing it with other Wikipedia editors. A change of this type should be proposed on the article talk page and not made until consensus is reached. In addition; because of your connection to the school you should not be directly editing the article. Any changes you would like to see should be proposed on the talk page and left of other editors to be implemented if appropriate. See the conflict of interest guide mentioned above.

I didn't see that you had responded earlier and already received a response from Huon. I apologize for spamming you with redundant advice. Gab4gab (talk) 18:37, 14 February 2019 (UTC)

Help me!

Can someone please update the page called St. Paul High School?

Please help me with...

I don't know what I'm doing. I would like the page about St. Paul High School in Shiner, Texas to be called Shiner Catholic School. We are a very small, Pre-K3 through 12th grade school. We have a total of 298 students in Grades PreK3 - 12. It is VERY confusing to have the name St. Paul High School out there. It may not seem that big of a deal to Wikipedida, but we are trying to get people to start saying Shiner Catholic School. The school made the change to ONE name, twenty years ago, but we are trying to fix the issue everywhere. This is what I would like to propose for the editors at Wikipedia:

1. Change the name at the top of the page to Shiner Catholic School. It would be great if it could have the names St. Paul High School & St. Ludmila Elementary under the words Shiner Catholic School. (see our school website as an example) 2. We added a new building at the end of last year and I'd like for that information to stay (I put that earlier today before I found out that I couldn't change it myself). 3. We want to use the name Shiner Catholic School on all of our marketing items. When someone Googles our school, they may not know the Saint name that is used at the elementary school or high school. We want them to be able to find the Catholic School that is in Shiner, regardless of the St. Paul or St. Ludmila. 4. Under the background, that is where the information about St. Ludmila and eventually St. Paul can be included.

I hope I'm using this talk feature correctly. This is not very easy for a non-tech person like me. I'm good at posting things online but not this sort of stuff. If anyone wants to talk to me, that would be even better. Is that possible? [REDACTED - Oshwah]

Hi Aslatter. A couple of things before we start: I can't see what you put at the end but it appears to have been removed by an oversighter, meaning it contained personal information or contact details. It is very important that you do not publish such details on Wikipedia, use the help me template and someone will be with you. Secondly, St. Paul High School (Shiner, Texas), the page to which you refer, is currently awaiting copyright violation revision deletion. It appears that you added the content which a reviewer found to violate copyright. Please ensure that anything you add to Wikipedia cannot be copied from anywhere else, even if you own that copyright. With regards to changing the name of the article, you are welcome to file a request at requested moves. Please let me know if you need further advice. Many thanks, SITH (talk) 23:47, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
