April 2017

Hello, I'm Jim1138. I noticed that you made a change to an article, American University of Beirut, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Jim1138 (talk) 10:07, 24 April 2017 (UTC)

American University of Beirut

Your edit to American University of Beirut was removed as it was unreferenced. Adding references is how we ensure that content is valid. Without references, a reader can not easily validate information and there is no presumption of accuracy. This is covered by the Wikipedia policy of wp:verifiability (WP:V). Please wp:cite your edits with wp:reliable sources (RS). See Help:Referencing for beginners, Help:Citation Style 1 and wp:Inline citations. Per WP:V unsourced content can be removed.

I undid your edit as it is promotional and reads like an advertisement. See WP:NOTPROMOTION. The "Paths to our vision" section is definitely out. Launched in 2010, the AUBMC 2020 Vision is an ambitious and comprehensive initiative that affirms AUBMC’s position as the leading medical center and healthcare institution in the region. Is too promotional and is wp:puffery. Try reading some other articles on mainstream hospitals as an example. Walter Reed Army Medical Center, for instance. See Category:Hospitals in the United States by city. Jim1138 (talk) 12:00, 24 April 2017 (UTC)

The material was copied directly from the school website, and thus was a copyright violation. Please don't add copyright material to this wiki. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 22:03, 27 April 2017 (UTC)

Conflict of interest notice

Hello, Mazenkabbani. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article American University of Beirut, 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. Jim1138 (talk) 12:00, 24 April 2017 (UTC)
