Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Mark K. Updegrove has been reverted.
Your edit here to Mark K. Updegrove was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (https://twitter.com/#!/MarkKUpdegrove) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, fansite, or similar site (see 'Links to avoid', #11), then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest).
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 21:55, 23 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

I have assessed this page and determine that C-Class is sufficient. You should know that C-Class on Wikipedia is not the same as a C grade in the American education system's grading scale. A C-Class here denotes sufficient quality and a generally good state. That could have been a source of confusion. Hope this clears things up. DaltonCastle (talk) 04:11, 20 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

ArbCom elections are now open!

edit

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Hello, Mlwmiller. Judging from this, I suspect that you are closely connected with Houston Community College, and possibly employed by them. Please be aware that if this is the case, you are discouraged from editing that article because of your conflict of interest, and if you are in any way paid by them, you are required to disclose this fact according to PAID. In general, I think you are doing a reasonable job on the article, (though I observe you have been updating numbers without updating the sources, which cannot be right), but it would be much preferable if you would confine yourself to suggesting changes on the article's talk page and leave it to uninvolved editors to edit the article. --ColinFine (talk) 21:54, 24 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

Houston Community College changes

edit

I saw your question about my edit to Houston Community College. I now have some questions for you:

  • File:HoustonCommunityCollegeSeal.jpg says the Author is Margaret Miller. Is that actually you, the uploader? Has the Houston Community College System really released the seal under a Creative Commons Share-Alike license?
  • You claim to be the copyright holder of File:HCC Color logo 1.jpg, is this the case?

Harvard and Stanford each have both a copyrighted seal being used under fair use and a wordmark that isn't copyrighted, and in Stanford's case likely isn't eligible for copyright. If this were the case for HCC, I'd be happy to change up the page graphics to mirror those institutions.

I do a lot of work on logos, I just happen to be making a pass through community colleges this month. The University Infobox has a place for an image (which they are using for their seal, but which many schools use for a representative picture), and a place for a logo (where I moved your seal, not realizing that you also have a logo).  ★  Bigr Tex 22:27, 22 August 2016 (UTC)Reply

Citations needed

edit

Hi, Mlwmiller - what the Susman article needs now is published information to verify her year of birth, and any other statistics that may prove helpful to the article. If you know of any, please let me know. Atsme📞📧 14:53, 12 November 2017 (UTC)Reply

Just to clarify

edit

Hi, again - just checking to see if you have a close or paid association with Ellen Susman? I'm asking because of your response about the number of children. Atsme📞📧 02:20, 13 November 2017 (UTC)Reply

I worked with Ellen Susman on her second television show years ago and I have been following her career since then. They are a very well known couple in Houston, where I live. Mlwmiller (talk) 03:52, 13 November 2017 (UTC)Reply

HELP! My sources aren't showing!

edit

Mlwmiller (talk)I have been editing the Witte Museum site (San Antonio) and have been careful to reference every edit with a primary source. However, I worked in a sandbox and when I uploaded my work to the site, none of my references transferred. Why? Please Help! Mlwmiller (talk)

Howdy. It does not appear that anything was added to your sandbox. I can see that you tripped our spam blacklist multiple times when you were trying to add the "activerain" site and that probably prevented the entire edit. Try again without including a link to that site and it should work. Kuru (talk) 01:18, 28 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

Mlwmiller (talk)My sandbox is empty because I cut and pasted the information and reference links I'd created back into the article. Now they display in the correct section, but the reference links don't show up below. How can I fix it?Mlwmiller (talk)

Mlwmiller (talk)I was able to recreate the links which weren't showing up in the reference section. Thanks. Mlwmiller (talk)

A page you started (Veteran's Heritage Project) has been reviewed!

edit

Thanks for creating Veteran's Heritage Project.

I have just reviewed the page, as a part of our page curation process and note that:

Thanks for your new article on the Veteran's Heritage Project. Note that the article is currently an "orphan" meaning that no other Wikipedia articles link TO it (except for some user-oriented pages). This makes the article tough to find for interested readers. See WP:DE-ORPHAN for pointers.

To reply, leave a comment here and prepend it with {{Re|Doomsdayer520}}. And, don't forget to sign your reply with ~~~~ .
