[Untitled][edit]

I was trying to input information about Apollos University - location, degrees, accreditation status, etc. This information is the same type information that is found in Wikipedia on numerous other universities and colleges so I am not sure why the system is accusing me of simply promoting the university. It is informational and factual data just like the data found on other universities. Can you please tell me what I am doing wrong? Signed,

Hi there,
At the moment, the article in not written in the correct style and reads like an advertisement. The university is most welcome to have an article on Wikipedia but must be written following the relevant Wikipedia conventions on articles. You can find more information on writing your first article here. If you fix the article up, I'm sure that it could stay.

OK, I've removed the speedy deletion notice as I admit I might have been a bit over-zealous in the first place by tagging the page. My apologies. — Peter McGinley (talk) 05:35, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I cannot find any information on this university beyond its own website. The U.S. Department of Education does not have a listing for it. It appears to be different from Apollo Group, the parent company for University of Phoenix. Can someone find some reliable sources with information on Apollos? Thanks, Alanraywiki (talk) 00:33, 14 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There are other reliable sources, outside of the Apollos website, that have a listing, including the DEAC Directory of Accredited Institutions-https://www.deac.org/Student-Center/Directory-Of-Accredited-Institutions.aspx Dakotacoda (talk) 23:03, 30 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright[edit]

Recent content added has used material directly from the university web site. This is a copyright violation. Because of the license Wikipedia publishes under, we need some more things done before before we can accept this text, even if these edits are being made by the licensed copyright owner. Since Wikipedia releases its content under This Free License (which allows anyone anywhere to use it, re-use it, modify it, parody it, sell it for a profit, or basically any purpose whatsoever), we must ensure that source material is similarly licensed. While the university may permit this content to be used here, they may not want this content changed, sold, or any of the other possibilities that our free license allows.

So in order to use this text on Wikipedia, the source web page must release its content under the same license (which allows all those same uses I mentioned), or they can release just this text under that license (again with the same understanding of how it may be used by anyone). For instructions on how to do that, see This Link. That will entail some emailing to prove the owners of that text are in fact authorizing its release, and confirming they understand what that entails.

In the meantime, the copyrighted text must be removed, but can easily be re-inserted once permission is processed. Thanks for your contributions, Crow^Caw 21:42, 17 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
