January 21, 2010 -- Additions to article
[edit]There is no malicious or fraudulent intent in posting additional information to Jim Towey's article on Wikipedia. With Mr. Towey's permission, Saint Vincent College is just trying to maintain accuracy and enhance his listing.

July 8, 2010 Change to Fred Rogers
[edit]There is no malicious or fraudulent intention in the correction I made. I simply inserted the correct title of the Fred Rogers Center for Early Learning and Children's Media at Saint Vincent College.

[edit]
- editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
- participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
- linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.
For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. NB: The preceding message is a boilerplate message which I'm leaving purely for friendly informational purposes. I noticed you had edited Saint Vincent College-related material, and the "SVC" in your username suggests to me that you might have an official affiliation with the college. It is common for faculty, alumni, and students of educational institutions to contribute to articles related to their institution, but some extra caution and reflection is always healthy when dealing with materials one may have an emotional or financial attachment to. Happy editing! —Notyourbroom (talk) 19:23, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
Current President
[edit]Official Saint Vincent College editor is updating information to reflect change in presidency. Br. Norman Hipps, O.S.B., became president of Saint Vincent College on July 1, 2010. Removed information on past president Jim Towey as no biographical information is listed for any other former presidents. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SVCeditor (talk • contribs) 18:15, 16 July 2010
Please cease and desist
[edit]
There are two issues with this:
- You may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, you must exercise great caution when editing on topics related to your organization.
- Your account cannot represent a group of people. You may wish to create a new account with a username that represents only you. Alternatively, you may consider changing your username to avoid giving the impression that your personal account is being used for promotional purposes.
Regardless of whether you change your name or create a new account, you are not exempted from the guideline to avoid editing where you have a conflict of interest. For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. You recently declared that you are the "Official Saint Vincent College editor". Perhaps you did not review the material I provided for you earlier closely enough, but this type of account is forbidden. I am escalating this case to the appropriate people. Thank you. —Bill Price(notyourbroom) 22:25, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
{{unblock|Your reason here}}. Thank you. - Dank (push to talk) 23:37, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
Why can't I edit Wikipedia?
Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, or organization for purposes of promotion and/or publicity. The edits may have violated one or more of our rules on spamming, which include: adding inappropriate external links, posting advertisements, and using Wikipedia for promotion. Wikipedia has many articles on companies, groups, and organizations, but it is considered inappropriate for such groups to use Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.
- Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?
Probably not. See WP:FAQ/Organization for a helpful list of frequently asked questions by people in your position. Also, review the conflict of interest guidance to see the kinds of limitations you would have to obey if you did want to continue editing about your company, group, or organization. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.
- What can I do now?
You are still welcome to write about something other than your company or organization. If you do intend to make useful contributions on some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:
- Add the text
{{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}}on your user talk page. - Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:Listusers to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy.
- Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In this reason, you must:
- Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the edits for which you were blocked.
- Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.
