Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent contribution removed content from Union Institute & University. Please be more careful when editing articles and do not remove content from Wikipedia without a good reason, which should be specified in the edit summary. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you would like to experiment again, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Natalie 21:51, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

No, I am not a graduate of the University, but that doesn't really matter at Wikipedia. If by "improve" you meant remove any negative information, than you need to read Wikipedia's policy on neutral point of view. You may also wish to read the policy on editing with a conflict of interest. And do not remove information from an article without reason again, or you may be blocked. Thanks.

The information you added was copied directly from the colleges website, which is a blatant copyright violation. Do not add copyrighted material from articles. Furthermore, you seem to be using this Wikipedia article to promote this particular institution, which is not the purpose of Wikipedia. Please read What Wikipedia is not, Wikipedia's policy on attribution, and Wikipedia's policy on neutral point of view. Natalie 22:24, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

This is your last warning.
You have now violated Wikipedia's copyright policy, by adding copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder, after being told not to do so. Copyright violations are unacceptable and persistent violators will be blocked. Original contributions are welcome, however any further copyright violations may result in your account being blocked.
