I appreciate that you want to contribute to this article, but your additions are non-encyclopedic in nature and seem to be intended just to promote a particular pub. As such this is just WP:SPAM. If you want to make an argument to include something on this subject please make a case for it on Talk:University of Calgary and try to gain the consensus of other editors working on the article there. - Ahunt (talk) 22:30, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
- How is this any different that describing drinking events at the Den and the Black Lounge which are also listed under student life? Am I to assume that linking to things like Monday and Friday make those postings encyclopedic in nature? I don't think our contributions are any different in nature and since we pay fees as an organization on campus, we should be allowed to contribute to the U of C page and promote this, which is one of our main services to students and faculty on campus. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GSAComs (talk • contribs)
- I should start off by warning you that if you are writing about subjects that you are involved with as you indicate in this edit summary then you are in a conflict of interest and should not edit the article. Instead you should put the text you are interested in including on the talk page and try to gain consensus to include it there. If other editors agree than they will place the text on the article page. Also external links are not used in article text. I will fix up your entry, remove the promotional language and properly reference it. - Ahunt (talk) 23:30, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
