BSCIRA, in accordance with the Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use, discloses that they have been paid by Bryant & Stratton College for their contributions to Wikipedia.

Nature of Updates[edit]

The purpose of this account is to keep the Bryant & Stratton page up to date. Non-affiliated contributors who include information that is clearly intended to mislead can contact this account for clarification. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BSCIRA (talk • contribs)

As an editor with a conflict of interest, you can accomplish that by suggesting changes on the article's associated talk page. Making edits yourself, especially edits that serve slant the article in a way the subject finds favorable, is not in keeping with Wikipedia policy. - MrOllie (talk) 18:02, 25 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Understood it is "Strongly Discouraged" but not against policy. I am attempting to update facts that can be validated via updated references. BSCIRA (talk) 18:26, 25 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

For the record MrOllie, there is no slant when you there is a report of a particular negative status, and the edit is to add the resolution of said negative status. If the negative status is reported, one should be able to indicate its resolution. You are not guiding, you are accusing, that is not in the interest of this community. ChrisKatBSC (talk) 20:29, 25 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The point of our conflict of interest guidelines is that as an employee of the school, you are unqualified to judge if you are slanting the article, or what is good for 'this community' when it diverges from your own interest. Making personal attacks on me is not going to change Wikipedia's guidelines and policies. MrOllie (talk) 20:48, 25 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please cite the personal attack? You have accused me of untoward behavior, and that is not a personal attack? It is a shame that you are wielding the thin veil of authority in such an unforgiving manner. It is ridiculous that you would consider citing the resolution of the issue with a Department of Education document is acting in my own interest. It is reporting a fact that follows another fact. Unbelievable. ChrisKatBSC (talk) 20:53, 25 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

January 2023[edit]

Hello BSCIRA. The nature of your edits 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 serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

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:BSCIRA. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=BSCIRA|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. MrOllie (talk) 17:23, 25 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, club, organization, company, or website, I have blocked this account from editing. You are welcome to continue editing after you have chosen a new username that complies with Wikipedia's username policy.

You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable, regardless of the username that you choose. Additionally, if your contributions to Wikipedia form all or part of work for which you are, or expect to be, paid or compensated in any way, you must disclose who is paying you to edit here.

Please take a moment to either create a new account, or request a username change of your current account here. The new username that you choose must represent you as an individual person, and it must comply with Wikipedia's username policy.

To create a new account with a different username, simply log out of this account and then click here to make a new one.
If you prefer to change the username on this account, you may do so by adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page here: {{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

Please note that the new username you choose cannot already be taken or in use by another account. You can go here to search and see if the username you'd like to choose is available. If the search returns that no global account with that username exists, that means it is available to be taken.

Please also note that you are permitted to use a username that contains the name of a company or organization if it also identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87", but not "SEO Manager at XYZ Company".

Appeals: If your username does not represent a group, organization, website, or other entity described above, and if you believe that this block was incorrect or made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page here: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

Thank you. UtherSRG (talk) 18:07, 25 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

A username change with my personal name has been requested BSCIRA (talk) 18:31, 25 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

Removing from queue until the name changed is processed. You may either revert this edit or make a new request once the change has been processed. 331dot (talk) 18:33, 25 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Hello, ChrisKatBSC, welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. Your editing pattern indicates that you may be using multiple accounts or coordinating editing with people outside Wikipedia, such as ChrisK240 (talk · contribs). Our policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow this, and users who misuse multiple accounts may be blocked from editing. If you operate multiple accounts directly or with the help of another person, please disclose these connections. Thank you.

Rename from "BSCIRA" to "ChrisKatBSC"[edit]

Rename from "BSCIRA" to "ChrisKatBSC". Unblocked. Welcome back -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 20:21, 25 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

DRN[edit]

Hi ChrisKatBSC. The dispute resolution noticeboard does not handle conduct disputes (see WP:CONDUCTDISPUTE for other options). You are not blocked, though you are advised not to edit the article directly, and DRN would not be a venue to request an unblock anyway. DRN also requires that there be thorough discussion at the article talk page, which has not happened yet. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 20:57, 25 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
