Hello, I'm Felicia777. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Nevada State University have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. Felicia (talk) 21:10, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

Hello,

Everything I am changing - is what I was told to put by the Associate Vice President of Marketing at Nevada State University. Can you please let me know which part was advertising or subjective rather than objective? 131.216.144.200 (talk) 21:24, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

Please see this essay (When your boss tells you to edit Wikipedia) and the welcome message below for some helpful guidance on how to edit Wikipedia for your employer. Wburrow (talk) 21:45, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Nevada State University. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you.

Please stop. If you continue to add promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, as you did at Nevada State University, you may be blocked from editing. Felicia (talk) 21:26, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

I have a lot more to edit so it would be helpful to know what was considered subjective so that I can make sure I read the changes before making them. NevadaStateMarketing (talk) 21:29, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

Welcome!

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Nevada State University, 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:

• 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
• The Teahouse, our help forum for new editors

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, visit the Teahouse, 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!

Advertising and marketing are forbidden on Wikipedia. Because you have engaged in advertising and marketing at Nevada State University, you have been indefinitely blocked from editing that page. You must make the Paid contributions disclosure. This is mandatory and non-negotiable. You can make neutral formal edit requests at Talk: Nevada State University. Please read the Guide to appealing blocks. Cullen328 (talk) 00:04, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
