Hello, ShvWebmaster. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center Shreveport, 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.
• Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
• 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.

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. Theroadislong (talk) 15:06, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

Hello ShvWebmaster, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your addition to Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center Shreveport has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.

• You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and a cited source. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
• Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
• Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
• If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
• Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied without attribution. If you want to copy from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Theroadislong (talk) 15:07, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center Shreveport, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. Theroadislong (talk) 15:35, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

Copyright problem: Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center Shreveport

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center Shreveport, but we regretfully cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from either web sites or printed material. This article appears to contain material copied from http://www.lsuhscshreveport.edu/AboutUs/HistoryoftheHealthSciencesCenter.aspx, and therefore to constitute a violation of Wikipedia's copyright policies. The copyrighted text has been or will soon be deleted. While we appreciate contributions, we must require all contributors to understand and comply with our copyright policy. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators are liable to be blocked from editing.

If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under license allowed by Wikipedia, then you should do one of the following:

• If you have permission from the author to release the text under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License (CC-BY-SA), leave a message explaining the details at Talk:Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center Shreveport and send an email with confirmation of permission to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". Make sure you quote the exact page name, Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center Shreveport, in your email. See Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
• If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted "under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License (CC-BY-SA), version 3.0", or that the material is released into the public domain leave a note at Talk:Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center Shreveport with a link to where we can find that note.

See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for instructions.

It may also be necessary for the text be modified to have an encyclopedic tone and to follow Wikipedia article layout. For more information on Wikipedia's policies, see Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Please stop. Continuing to remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center Shreveport, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, may be considered disruptive editing. Further edits of this type may result in your account being blocked from editing. The content you have copied and pasted from your website is overly promotional and the website still says the content is © 2014 LSU Health Shreveport. Theroadislong (talk) 16:38, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

This is your last warning. The next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center Shreveport, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Jim1138 (talk) 17:11, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

Your addition to Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center Shreveport has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted text, or images borrowed from other websites, or printed material without a verifiable license; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Epicgenius (talk) 18:43, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

Conflict of interest

You have a conflict of interest, are not editing in a manner appropriate with Wikipedia's goals, and should not be editing the article. 19:04, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center Shreveport

Hi, I see that you have said on the talk page of the article that the content is also licensed under CC-BY-SA 3.0 and GFDL. To prove this, the best way to do so is to add the licensing to the original webpage. The correct way to grant permission on Wikipedia without changing the original webpage is to email permissions-en@wikimedia.org from an official LSU email address and explain that you have the authority to release the content under those licenses. Make sure to include a link to the article and also the LSU article so they know what you're talking about. A ticket handler will process it and should note on the talk page that the license is valid (this will often take days, I've even waited more than a week for an image I gained permission for). The email address and any personal details will remain private. James086^Talk 17:12, 4 March 2014 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add soapboxing, promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, as you did at LSU Health Sciences Center Shreveport, you may be blocked from editing. Theroadislong (talk) 17:26, 8 October 2018 (UTC)

There have been two problems with this account: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group or a web site, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing.

If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy. Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In that reason, you must:

• Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked.
• Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. SmartSE (talk) 21:50, 8 October 2018 (UTC)

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

understood/need advice Hello - I understand the reasoning behind the block and was unaware of the editing/edit suggestion process. It will not happen again going forward. I would like advice on how to submit/suggest additions to a page for review. I'm sorry if I have misunderstood the steps to do this in other places I looked. Is there a specific place to do this or a specific account/person to send this to? Is there a way to become a verified representative of an organization to add credit to suggested edits submitted for review? I would like to correct this misunderstanding and provide suggestions of updated content/current events to an institution's page to keep it as up to date as possible. I have been instructed to find out the process for doing this so that the correct steps can be taken. Thank you so much, and apologies again for my confusion/misunderstanding of the process. 13:45, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

Decline reason:

You need to select a new username that indicates you are an individual(doesn't have to be your real name, it can be an alias) per the username policy. You will also need to review the conflict of interest policy and the paid editing policy(compliance with the latter is mandatory per Wikipedia's Terms of Use for those in your situation); those policies will explain how you can properly suggest changes to articles in the area of your COI. You will need to indicate understanding of these policies before you can be unblocked. I am declining this request. Please follow the instructions above to request unblock and suggest a new username. 331dot (talk) 14:04, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

---

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Please note that Wikipedia articles contain information found in independent reliable sources; Wikipedia has no interest in what an organization wants to say about itself. If there is incorrect information in an article about your organization, we want to know what it is, but in the correct manner. 331dot (talk) 14:04, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
