Connection with D'Youville College?

Do you have a connection with D'Youville College? ElKevbo (talk) 04:11, 16 December 2020 (UTC)

Yes, I am an employee of the institution and noticed that much of the information on this page was very outdated and in some cased incorrect. Publicreferenceguide (talk) 11:28, 15 December 2020 (EST)

Thanks for the quick and helpful response! We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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 or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} 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 WP:Spam);
• 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. ElKevbo (talk) 04:44, 16 December 2020 (UTC)

My apologies. I am a new editor on wikipedia, still learning the process and not familiar with coding. This was not an intentional violation and I can assure you it will not happen again.Publicreferenceguide (talk) 18:20, 19 December 2020 (UTC)
