Saint Francis College

hi - i don't how to use this code - the controversy section is vandalism - we at st. francis have posted the information that appears on our page - there is no violation.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.48.147.52 (talk • contribs) 26 July 2007 13:27 (UTC)

Hi there, in order to add copyrighted content (such as the copy-and-pasted content you added to Saint Francis College), you must obtain the express permission of the copyright holder to use the content under the terms of Wikipedia's license, i.e. the copyright holder must re-license it under the GFDL (see WP:Copyright and Wikipedia:Example requests for permission). Even if this was done, the material is very Point of View because it sounds like it is (and is) from a promotional brochure. It would have to be fundamentally rewritten to be Not Point of View (see WP:NPOV), and much of the content does not belong on Wikipedia at all, such as the "Core Courses" section, the contact names and numbers for the honours program, and course descriptions for HON 5101, 5102 (even though they may be excellent courses ;) ). Basically what I'm saying is that a far better article could be written using the Saint Francis College website as a source of information, not as a source of sentences (along with other sources, of course), so please don't copy and paste content from the SFC website.

As far as the Controversy section being vandalism is concerned, it just plain isn't. The claims were backed up by a New York Post article, which is a reliable, verifiable source (see WP:SOURCE and WP:RS), and as such it does belong on Wikipedia and its addition isn't vandalism. Just because it's not your opinion, or you think it's wrong (or even if it IS wrong), if it can be backed up by reliable, verifiable sources, it belongs here.

I have reverted your last edit as it (non-constructively) deleted content from an article and added copyrighted material. Please do not remove the Controversy section or add the copyrighted content again. If you would like to dispute the alleged controversy, please do so on the article's Talk page, or in the article itself, as long you can find reliable, verifiable sources to back up your view. If you would like to add copyrighted content, please ensure the content is licensed under the GFDL. Otherwise, you will be blocked from editing. Danelo 14:25, 26 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I just realized (after another editor deleted it) that the "Controversy" section WASN'T sourced. I made a mistake, because when you deleted it is was an unsourced statement and (as the name of the section indicated) potentially controversial, and I apologize. That said, I just cited the NY Post article as a source and once again re-added the section to the article. ~ Danelo 00:22, 27 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Saint Francis College. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you.

Thanks...

...for your contributions to the encyclopedia. Please take a look to the adjustments I made to your edits to 2 Columbus Circle and Williamsburg Bridge. They may help you in your future editing. BMK (talk) 16:28, 28 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
