User talk:CflemLCHS

Welcome!

Hello, CflemLCHS, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Lakeview Centennial High School, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms our use and policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

Again, welcome! ~ ToBeFree (talk) 16:37, 14 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks.

This is the page of a public high school and it was grossly out of date. My only additions and updates are facts about the institution and all are fully cited. Please do not delete them again. CflemLCHS (talk) 16:47, 14 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

May 2018

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to be blocked from editing Wikipedia. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. Thank you. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 16:58, 14 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please clarify your affiliation

Do you work for this school, and are you receiving any kind of compensation for these edits? ~ ToBeFree (talk) 17:01, 14 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

We are not doing anything wrong.

There is no reason to completely undo a days worth of edits. Please stop undoing the initial edits. We are a public high school that is just updating our page. Thats it. CflemLCHS (talk) 17:01, 14 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I work at the school

I am not receiving compensation for these edits whatsoever. We are a high school. CflemLCHS (talk) 17:02, 14 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Notice of Conflict of interest noticeboard discussion

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard regarding a possible conflict of interest incident with which you may be involved. Thank you. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 17:12, 14 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hey there. I just wanted to clarify that the reason I added the COI template was to make sure that other editors who had more time than I did could go through it and check it for statements that were unsourced, possibly non-neutral, or unencyclopedic. If your username hadn't indicated a relationship to the high school, I would have put a POV, advert, or promo template there due to the content. (I only looked at the history of who had edited the page because the content seemed promotional in places. Once the article was checked for promotional content, the template would be removed. I absolutely think updating a page that's out of date is great, so long as the information is sourced, very preferably from a non-primary source (i.e. not from the school website itself wherever possible), and not with a promotional tone. I didn't want you to think that it was your username that prompted the inclusion of a template noting possible non-neutrality. The username just informed which notice I put up.

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello CflemLCHS, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Lakeview Centennial High School have been removed, as they appear to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues here.

You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps in Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate. See also Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Content was copied from pages such as https://www.garlandisdschools.net/page.cfm?p=2502. Thank you.

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for advertising or self-promoting in violation of the conflict of interest and notability guidelines.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. Guy (Help!) 17:52, 15 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
