Buffalo State College

[edit]

Greetings! I see you've been making some changes to the name of Buffalo State College in its article. From what source are you getting that information? The version before your changes was sourced to BSC's own style guide, which seems to be a pretty conclusive source for the legal name, common name, and preferred stylings of the name of the school. —C.Fred (talk) 13:44, 24 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]


Thanks for the feedback Fred! I've updated the article with the proper name and this time included citations (ref 3 and 4.)

The sources don't claim what you are trying to say. Furthermore it's just an author writing about a press release. You are creating confusion and actually putting wrong information out there. Take a look at the official name guidelines and how I reverted the page. [1][2]

Information icon Please do not introduce incorrect information into articles, as you did to Buffalo State College. Your edits could be interpreted as vandalism and have been reverted. If you believe the information you added was correct, please cite references or sources or discuss the changes on the article's talk page before making them again. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. —C.Fred (talk) 21:12, 24 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]


Thank you for pointing out the proper name. I was confusing a short name with an actual name. It appears the short name SUNY Buffalo State is the most current short name and I'll leave the existing proper name as it is.

  1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Rootfire Cooperative, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page The Movement. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article 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) 10:53, 9 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

File source problem with File:Aerial photo of Buffalo, NY Skyline.jpg

[edit]

Thank you for uploading File:Aerial photo of Buffalo, NY Skyline.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next seven days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Nahko and Medicine for the People

[edit]

Hi @Pete716, you have recently been editing the Nahko and Medicine for the People page. In the process, you have added content that is written from a non-neutral point of view and appears to be personally motivated. Additionally, you have made vague accusations of ulterior motives when your work was reverted. Both types of behaviour are inappropriate on Wikipedia. Not only should you restrict your contributions to neutral accounts of the topics you are covering, but you certainly should not make snarky, peevish comments when someone disagrees with your work. If you are dissatisfied with the fact that your edits get reverted, please start a civil discussion on the relevant talk page, and try to seek compromise with other editors. Thank you.Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 11:47, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
