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

Hi Sandstein,
Thank you for your feedback. Advertising was not the aim, nor am I paid for this change. I have been editing multiple educational profiles with the goal of adding reliable sources. In this case, the changes made by another user on this profile rely on a single news article, which is based on a journalist’s unverified claim from anonymous sources.
Particularly when discussing accreditation, the source should not be a newspaper article but rather the accreditor itself. In this instance, the accreditor clearly states that Franklin University is accredited: https://aaq.ch/en/procedural-reports/ . If you review the "Institutional Accreditation" section and look at the official Franklin Report, you will see that the accreditor makes no mention of the claims currently stated on the Wikipedia profile (so they should actually be removed if we are following Wiki guidelines!).
I have also been adding third-party sources and including additional factual information to the profile. I have submitted a second draft that is not promotional but factual, and I kindly request that you activate the changes to provide more comprehensive information about the university. My intention is to ensure this profile aligns with the standard of other university profiles, presenting accurate and detailed information.
Additionally, I have another credible source that can be integrated to further support the draft of requested changes which I submitted: https://www.aacu.org/liberaleducation/articles/an-american-education-model-abroad
Many thanks Cmzt23 (talk) 19:00, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Cmzt23. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Franklin University Switzerland, gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being employed (or being compensated in any way) by a person, group, company or organization to promote their interests. Paid advocacy on Wikipedia must be disclosed even if you have not specifically been asked to edit Wikipedia. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Cmzt23. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Cmzt23|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 14:45, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
