editWelcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page IFA Paris has been reverted.
Your edit here to IFA Paris 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://www.facebook.com/IfaParisFashionSchool) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia.
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.

Hello, Nikki38394724. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you have an external relationship with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.
All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.
If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:
- Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
- Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
- Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.
Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies. Note that Wikipedia's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.
For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you.
This is your only warning; if you use Wikipedia for soapboxing, promotion or advertising again, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. --Dirk Beetstra T C 03:23, 6 August 2015 (UTC)
@Beetstra I was just adding our new courses and more infos, as well as removing partnerships which we don't have anymore, i.e. with Polimoda. I don't believe its advertising, just raw infos. But please tell me which part you mean, then I can delete it. But I must put the new infos, not outdated. Since IFA Paris wikipedia page is near the top of Google search results when people search our brand name, it is important that we dont have old courses or incorrect partnerships infos. Thanks.

Dominik - the article is tagged as advertising and unreferenced for a reason. You keep on removing those tags without solving the issue. Wikipedia articles are not supposed to be written in a promotional style, but in an encyclopedic style. Moreover, they practically MUST have sources to independent, reliable sources (secondary sources) that establish the notability of the subject, and to confirm that what is written is true. The article lacks that completely. Can you either resolve the issues, or leave the tags there. Thanks. --Dirk Beetstra T C 09:10, 6 August 2015 (UTC)
I understand you think the page is advertising. Which tags are you talking about? I don't want to remove anything, I want to add something. The version which you think is okay is incomplete, for example has only a few courses. If adding a few courses, why can I not add all? If it needs to be referenced, can I site our website? Its all there. Also, I want to add more in the alumni section and some other parts. Can I send you the version I want to add or just publish it, then you can tell me specifically what is not ok. What are tags, I didn't remove any tags on purpose. We are one of the biggest international fashion schools and cannot even add crucial information to our wikipedia page? thanks a lot for helping me. Best, Dominik Nikki38394724 (talk) 10:08, 6 August 2015 (UTC)
- Phrases like "IFA Paris was established in 1982 to combine the French fashion heritage with the modern globalized world" and "The Bachelor in Fashion Design & Technology is the IFA Paris signature program." and "The IFA Paris Bachelor in Fashion Distribution Management is unique in China" and " fast-moving industry" and "...to equip its postgraduate students with keys to decipher the ever changing fashion industry" are all purer promotion. They are statements of opinion, not fact, and not sourced to any particular person. The whole "article" reads like a marketing brochure for the school. Citations to reliable sources are needed to demonstrate the notability of the school, and many of these must be to independent sources, not the school or any of its employees or partners, nor any person or organization closely associated with the school. News reports not based on press releases would be good. Failing this, I will nominate the article for deletion shortly. DES (talk) 16:31, 6 August 2015 (UTC)
- Tags are pieces of code that display warning notices or informational messages, like
{{advert|date=November 2012}}and{{unreferenced|date=November 2012}}. Do not remove these until the issue is fixed, please. DES (talk) 16:31, 6 August 2015 (UTC)
@DESiegel please don't delete, can you remove the schedule for deletion. We are just new to Wikipedia and don't know these rules. We will remove all these kinds of advertising and make the article shorter in general, let us fix it. We will do some edits, please have a check after. Thanks in advance.

- Who is the "we" you keep referring to? Is more than one person using this account? If so, that is not permitted - an account must represent and be used by a single individual only. And please heed the COI advice you have been given above.--ukexpat (talk) 12:42, 7 August 2015 (UTC)
We is our fashion school IFA Paris and I am the digital marketing manager and only one using this account. Nikki38394724 (talk) 01:14, 10 August 2015 (UTC)
