Disambiguation link notification for November 17

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Erciyes University, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Talas. 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.)

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Turcorummundus. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Erciyes University, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for article subjects for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template)—don't forget to give details of reliable sources supporting your suggestions;
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicizing, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Bbb23 (talk) 15:39, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You must respond to the above notice before editing the article again (I've reverted your latest change). I also suspect that you have a similar conflict of interest with all of the articles you've been editing, which are generally Turkish universities and colleges. Please respond to my comments before editing any of these articles. If you don't, you risk being blocked for being an undisclosed paid editor.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:27, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I’ve been using Wikipedia as a reliable source of information for a long time. I studied Ottoman history in English during my undergraduate studies. I am from Kayseri, which is why I update articles related to the region and universities where I have knowledge. I started editing because I noticed the lack of sufficient English content about Turkish universities. I always provide citations for all the information I use and ensure that I maintain Wikipedia’s tone of voice. Turcorummundus (talk) 17:33, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your message. As a new member of Wikipedia, I am learning the rules and am open to guidance on how to become a good Wikipedia contributor. Turcorummundus (talk) 17:40, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have any affiliation with any of these schools?--Bbb23 (talk) 18:39, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No, I don’t have any affiliation with any of these schools. For example, Talas American College is not even an active school; it was closed in 1967. As an enthusiast of the history of education in Turkey, I made these contributions and used relevant citations. Turcorummundus (talk) 18:43, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, there are several problems with your edits, and this requires some work on your part to understand how Wikipedia works. First, adding a citation is not necessarily enough; you need to add reliable sources. For example, self-published sources are generally not reliable: that means citing material to the school's website is unacceptable, especially when the material it's supporting is self-serving. Second, just because material is sourced doesn't necessarily mean it should be included. A lot of material is WP:UNDUE, which means it's not sufficiently noteworthy to be included, even with a source. Finally - at least for now - all material should be encyclopedic, both in substance and tone. Stick to the bare facts, not facts embellished by promotional language. If you have follow-up questions on how best to go about this, please ask them at the WP:Teahouse.--Bbb23 (talk) 19:07, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, noted. I will ask at the WP:Teahouse for my questions and will edit in accordance with the specifics you mentioned. Thank you so much for your help. Turcorummundus (talk) 19:12, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
