Potential conflict of interest[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Rasmussen College, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

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. Active Banana (talk) 20:53, 29 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

June 2010[edit]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Rasmussen College. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. If the edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Nomoskedasticity (talk) 20:55, 29 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

From Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring#User:Warrenpd reported by Nomoskedasticity (talk) (Result: warned) - when you find yourself in a disagreement with multiple other volunteer editors (or, indeed, any one editor), it is best practice to make your case at the talk page. This page exists to discuss improvements to the related article, and is accessible by clicking the Discussion link at the top of the page. Please stop reverting the article until you can reach a reasonable consensus there. It looks like the major issue under question is one of sourcing - personal experience may inform your edits, but they still need to be supported by independent sources reliable to make the statement. Good luck, - 2/0 (cont.) 22:05, 29 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Is there any way I can get the semi protected block turned off or do I have to run things by you guys first. I really need to update this page by the end of the day for my job. I have all of the souces now. Sorry for all of the confusion I have never used Wikipedia before. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.62.239.54 (talk) 14:11, 30 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am sorry, but that page is not an extension of the College PR department; please read the conflict of interest policy. Your best option at this point, I think, is to make your proposals at Talk:Rasmussen College, and add {{Request edit}} (including the braces). This copies a short notice onto the page and alerts other users that the page may need to be updated. Regards, - 2/0 (cont.) 14:39, 30 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Content, particularly about living people, must be sourced[edit]

Please do not continue to enter claims about a living person without providing reliable sources to verify the claims. Active Banana (talk) 20:57, 29 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oops- Nimitz probably isnt living any more, but ALL content needs to be sourced, and third party sourcing is necessary for any promotional claims. Active Banana (talk) 21:02, 29 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Please see here. Nomoskedasticity (talk) 21:03, 29 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I work for Rasmussen College and I have the cites for the sources now. I really need to post these before the end of the day. Sorry about the confussion this is the first time I have used Wiki.

Editing protected page[edit]

Particularly given your affiliation with the subject of the article, you should go to the article talk page Talk:Rasmussen College, identify your affilition, post your suggested edit to the article with the appropriate sources and ask for a registered user to make the edit if appropriate. Active Banana (talk) 14:45, 30 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

For example:

Sample edit request[edit]

I work for Rassmusen College and would like to add the following text to the article. Please add "Blah blah blah blah" based on this source (link or other WP:CITE). It should go in X section as the last paragraph.

Your submission at Articles for creation: WHOISCARRUS (December 29)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by MatthewVanitas was:

Awards are usually pretty tenuous for Notability, unless they're huge big-name awards. Partly because there are just so many awards out there for everything that a lot of them don't mean too much. Can you find some coverage of this company in, say, regional or national newspapers, books about marketing, trade journals, etc?

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:WHOISCARRUS and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.
