Hello, I'm Adam9007. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Rich Hill (pitcher), but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. 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! Adam9007 (talk) 20:49, 11 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

July 2021[edit]

Hello, I'm Philipnelson99. I noticed that in this edit to Piedmont University, 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. Philipnelson99 (talk) 19:06, 10 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Managing conflicts of interest[edit]

Hello, 204.126.178.254. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Piedmont University, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. –Skywatcher68 (talk) 19:50, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your response. While I do not have an external relationship with either of the individuals referenced, I am currently employed by the university. I do not believe the paragraph I removed is relevant enough to the historical identity of the university to warrant the proportion of the history section it takes up, nor do I believe it is relevant to audiences seeking to learn more about the university more generally. Neither of the parties mentioned are employed by the university any longer, and all of the litigation mentioned has either been settled or dismissed. I certainly understand the relevance if litigation was ongoing or if former President Mellichamp were still employed by the university, but I do not see how it is relevant to those wanting to learn more about the university in 2024. The institution has been around for more than 126 years, and for this page to position this content as so relevant to the historical impact of the institution that it takes up more than a third of the historical section is, to me, deceiving to those who may read the content of this page hoping to learn more about the the institution and its storied history. I am happy to recuse myself from further edits if my employment with Piedmont makes this a conflict of interest, however, I hope that moderators will reconsider the weight of this content's presence on the page against the historic and present context of the institution's history and continued impact on the Northeast Georgia region. 204.126.178.254 (talk) 16:31, 7 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
