Please adhere to the Wikipedia Manual of Style

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in University School of Milwaukee, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. 32.218.37.123 (talk) 20:20, 17 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Help me!

Please help me with... I have been editing the Wikipedia listing for University School of Milwaukee, where I work in the Marketing and Communications department. I have attempted to add our Mission Statement multiple times, but each time it has been deleted because of a "Copyright Violation". The violation message says "you must write using your own words", but that's not possible when it comes to a mission statement which must be taken verbatim. Any help in clearing this up would be appreciated.

Two comments. Firstly, please review the Terms of Use and make sure you comply with the disclosure requirements. WP:PAID provides additional information on those requirements. Secondly, it's nice that the University School of Milwaukee believes in the exceptionality of the education they provide, but that doesn't provide our readers with any information. Mission statements have no place in an encyclopedia. Wikipedia is not free ad space. Huon (talk) 21:21, 17 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You also need to pay attention to the edit summaries when the mission statement is deleted: "mission statements are considered promotional per WP:WPSCH/AG#WNTI". Read WP:WPSCH/AG#WNTI to find out about Wikipedia's policies in this regard. 32.218.37.123 (talk) 22:58, 17 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
