May 2020[edit]

Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I noticed that in this edit to Trident University International, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Materialscientist (talk) 02:30, 28 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add or significantly change content without citing verifiable and reliable sources, as you did with this edit to Trident University International. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Materialscientist (talk) 02:36, 28 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have a connection with American InterContinental University‎ or Trident University International? ElKevbo (talk) 03:07, 28 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please answer this question; we have important policies that prohibit undisclosed paid editing and discourage conflicts of interest. ElKevbo (talk) 13:37, 28 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright[edit]

Please don't add content taken from sources with an incompatible copyright, as you did at Touro College Los Angeles. Unless content has been explicitly licensed under a compatible CreativeCommons license or is released into the public domain, posting it on Wikipedia is a copyright violation that could get us in legal trouble (for more information see WP:CV). In this case, the content was also promotional, and was unacceptable for this reason as well. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 21:39, 29 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to Trident University International, you may be blocked from editing. Materialscientist (talk) 02:26, 30 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This edit is an example of edit warring. Engaging in edit warring may result in a loss of editing privileges. The appropriate way to respond to an editing disagreement is to raise a discussion on the article's talk page, not to simply reinstate your preferred revision. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 00:06, 31 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

June 2020[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Constructive contributions are appreciated, but, in this edit to Touro College Los Angeles, you removed Articles for deletion notices from articles or removed other people's comments in Articles for deletion debates. This makes it difficult to establish consensus. If you oppose the deletion of an article, please comment at the respective page instead. Thank you. Materialscientist (talk) 02:33, 11 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright problem[edit]

Your addition to Touro University Worldwide has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources for more information.

There was no copyright problem with the page created. There is some serious anti jewish sentiment. GTFletch (talk) 11:54, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Paid editing[edit]

Hello GTFletch. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Touro University Worldwide, gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat SEO.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:GTFletch. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=GTFletch|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 10:17, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I am not paid for any edits. GTFletch (talk) 11:47, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

GT edits[edit]

Edit such as this [1] which focus on specific mid-season game results and statistics appear to be WP:RECENTISM and WP:UNDUE within an article about 120 years of GT football, making that type of content a better fit for articles such 2020 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets football team and/or Geoff Collins (American football). Cheers, UW Dawgs (talk) 21:45, 27 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for October 2[edit]

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

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 06:05, 2 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
