User talk:JAGreenwood

Welcome!

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was University of Central Missouri, 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, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Thanks for reaching out. I do work for the university, and I have access to correct information like enrollment and personnel that outside agencies don’t tend to keep updated very well. Also, this page had the wrong logo and several factual errors on it. So I’d appreciate if you let me know how we can correct things that are incorrect about a public institution? 136.32.212.100 (talk) 21:06, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, please see the links in the template message I sent for more information on how to do things properly, especially Wikipedia:Plain and simple conflict of interest guide and Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure. Please remember that all information must be supported by reliable, publicly-available, and ideally independent (meaning not published by the university itself) sources. If you have further questions, Wikipedia:Teahouse is a good place to ask for help. Also, please remember to log in. Thanks! :Jay8g [V•T•E] 21:49, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
