Information icon Please do not add or change content, as you did at Gilmour Academy, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. You need to source your additions, and you are required to properly disclose your situation as a paid editor. Meters (talk) 20:28, 25 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

And you really should follow the proper procedure and propose your edits on the article's talk page rather than making them yourself. Disclose your conflict of interest properly, request your changes with reliable sources, and someone will review them. Meters (talk) 20:32, 25 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
By the way, the fact that you work for the school does not mean that you own the copyright of material on the school's website. Meters (talk) 20:35, 25 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Help Editing

I clearly need some help because everything I am trying to accomplish is getting flagged.

I would like to update the page for Gilmour Academy.

When you google Gilmour Academy and the wiki comes up, it has a tax code and a parent organization listed. Both of which are incorrect.

I was also trying to add the history of this amazing place but it keeps being flagged as well. Please help? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Marisaleemartin (talk • contribs) 20:37, August 25, 2021 (UTC)

Go back and read the links that you have removed from this talk page. You have added promotional, non-neutral material. You have added copyright-violating material. You have added unsourced material. You are a WP:PAID editor. And, not previously mentioned, you have removed maintenance tags. Read the links and follow the instructions. Your changes can be made by other editors if the changes are neutral, sourced, and not copyright violations. Meters (talk) 20:52, 25 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]


Last warning: please stop making edits yourself. Declare your COI properly. Meters (talk) 21:06, 25 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not use embedded links. Please read these instructions for creating citations. OhNoitsJamie Talk 21:08, 25 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You've already been given a final warning for adding non-neutral content; consider yourself warned against adding copyrighted content as well. OhNoitsJamie Talk 21:08, 25 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for trying to source things, but please do it properly. We use cited references rather than external links, and we add them following punctuation rather than in the middle of sentences. See WP:REFSTART. Meters (talk) 21:10, 25 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]


Hi Meters and OhNoItsJamie. Please know I'm trying to do this correctly but for some reason it's not going well. I'm not a paid contributor that I know of. I'm trying to declare my COI but not sure if I did this correctly.

According to your userpage, your contributions "are made on behalf of Gilmour Academy and in consultation with them," but you're also saying that you are not a paid contributor? I don't think you are being truthful. OhNoitsJamie Talk 21:31, 25 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Furthermore, let's be clear that Gilmour Academy is an encyclopedia article; Wikipedia articles are written in a neutral fashion in the voice of an encyclopedia, and all material must be reliably sourced. Wikipedia pages are not social media extensions, and are not intended to be managed by digital marketing specialists on behalf of the subjects. If you compensated by the subject of the article, you need to disclose that relationship. Per WP:PAID, editors with "a conflict of interest, including paid editors, are very strongly discouraged from directly editing affected articles, but should post content proposals on the talk pages of existing articles."
