Conflict of Interest editing and copyright violation

The editing history of this article indicates that various editors with a conflict of interest have been editing the Siena College article since at least 2008. This conflict of interest editing has involved various incidents where promotional material has been added, also the addition of copyright violating material taken directly from the college's website or closely paraphrased from the same source. Further detail can be found in this thread [1] at the Conflict of Interest Noticeboard .

Any editors directly employed by Siena College, on work placement at the college, or otherwise associated with the college are advised to familiarize themselves with the following policies etc.: WP:COI, WP:UPE, WP:NOTPROMO, WP:COPYVIO, WP:COIE and WP:CLOP.

However, in short:

You need to formally declare your conflict of interest on your user page.

You should not edit the Siena College article directly (unless making very minor factual edits, e.g. updating figures).

You can request that edits are made to the article by using the 'Conflict of Interest edit request' process. (details can be found under WP:DISCLOSE).

Material requested to be added must be original material and not directly lifted or closely paraphrased from the Siena College website or from any other source. Similarly any material requested to be added must not be of a promotional nature. Axad12 (talk) 08:12, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There are many inaccuracies on the Siena College page that should be corrected. It is understood that this can't be from someone who works at the college. Who can help edit the inaccuracies and outdated information? They include numbers of students, endowment numbers, the logo, Siena was never called the Golden Hurricanes, race and ethnicity breakdown. Academics does not include information on accreditation or rankings (like for instance, Marist College does:Marist College) The history was mostly recently deleted and it was the one accurate place (although it didn't have anything about recent history such as construction of a new science building).

Not looking for anything promotional, just accuracy. What can be done and how? 199.223.241.21 (talk) 17:23, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The answer to your question is included within the initial post in this thread, surely?

And I see that you continue to try to include promotional material (both below (the rankings) and the recent mainspace edit which you surely realise was prohibited). Axad12 (talk) 20:06, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
