Welcome!

edit

Hello, Fsuewm, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few links to pages you might find helpful:

You may also want to take the Wikipedia Adventure, an interactive tour that will help you learn the basics of editing Wikipedia. You can visit The Teahouse to ask questions or seek help.

Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing 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 for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. Again, welcome! 2601:188:1:AEA0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 17:50, 14 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I'm 2601:188:1:AEA0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. 2601:188:1:AEA0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 17:50, 14 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

And COI, per edits and username

edit

  Hello, Fsuewm. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:

  • avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
  • instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
  • when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
  • avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
  • exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. 2601:188:1:AEA0:65F5:930C:B0B2:CD63 (talk) 17:51, 14 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

Caution about promotional editing

edit

Hello Fsuewm. Your user name suggests you may have some connection to Florida State University. So far you have made edits only at Florida State University College of Arts and Sciences but you have never posted at any talk page, not even your own user talk page, which is at User talk:Fsuewm. If you continue to add material to the article that may not satisfy Wikipedia standards, without ever posting on a talk page, you are risking a block. Try proposing your changes first on a talk page and wait for others to comment. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 19:13, 15 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

Hello fellow Seminole!

Hi I noticed that many of your edits were reversed. Don't be discouraged. You could always find sources for the material and remove promotional words and have most of the information back up. If you need any help feel free to let me know.--SeminoleNation (talk) 23:38, 15 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add soapboxing, promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, as you did at Florida State University College of Arts and Sciences, you may be blocked from editing. Theroadislong (talk) 08:23, 16 November 2016 (UTC)Reply

It is not enough for you to have good intentions ('unbiased information'), you must also add prose that meets Wikipedia standards for neutrality. If you continue to make changes that do not do so, without first asking for feedback on the talk page, you are risking a block. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 13:04, 17 November 2016 (UTC)Reply
