Hello Gkarg6. You have a financial stake in promoting a topic. 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. Paid advocates are strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists.

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:Gkarg6. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Gkarg6|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. ElKevbo (talk) 23:00, 6 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If we are not allowed to correct inaccurate information then please take down the Wikipedia page for the university altogether because this inaccurate information (for example, the Kodály program is no longer offered) shows up in Google search results and negatively impacts the university’s brand. 173.217.81.67 (talk) 18:38, 9 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And the content on the university Wikipedia page is saturated with inaccurate information. 173.217.81.67 (talk) 18:41, 9 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You are welcome to make requests and suggestions in the article's Talk page. And many editors are typically okay with employees making completely uncontroversial updates and corrections to articles e.g., updating outdated information with new sources, correcting obvious typos.
