[edit]
Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy or request a change of username.

You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose.

If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page.

You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page. Thank you. -- GB fan 19:27, 19 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Hello, I'm Yamla. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Sheryl Sandberg, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. --Yamla (talk) 20:05, 15 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome!

[edit]

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Phi Beta Kappa Society, 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, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

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, 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!

Triennial Councils if available?

[edit]

Some Greek Letter Organizations have a page of the National Meetings. So if you have the information on the Triennial Councils (and their predecessors) including dates and locations/hosts, that would be appropriate. :)

-- Information on Phi Beta Kappa Triennial Councils as far back as 1976 can be found here. Amandapbk (talk) 20:46, 9 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Gregory Thompson (writer), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Dartmouth. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:25, 12 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Key Reporter issues

[edit]

Some of the references you have added from the key reporter have had the issue that the URL (and title) are the Greek Phi followed by the Latin B and the Latin K *rather* than being the Greek Phi, the Greek Beta and the Greek Kappa. Is there someone who can be contacted to have the Key Reporter become consistent?Naraht (talk) 02:53, 20 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
