Managing a conflict of interest
[edit]Hello, Lynx Kassandra. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Glasgow School of Art, 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, clients, 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 Wikipedia:Spam#External link spamming);
- 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. I may be wrong, but your edit summary "Removal of the edits, constantly dropped in by a disgruntled ex-employee" made me think that you may work at GSA. If so, please see the information linked above, and don't edit the article (you can propose changes on the article's Talk page). Thanks. Tacyarg (talk) 00:48, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

[edit]Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Glasgow School of Art, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use your sandbox for that. Thank you.

- Err no. I removed it as it is no longer relevant.
- It's unnecessary for this to be there. Lynx Kassandra (talk) 16:15, October 5, 2022 (UTC)
- I updated the text to include the updated report. Much more interesting to say faults were found and they're fixing them, than just remove the content entirely.
- BTW You can sign your comments on Talk pages by typing four tildes like this ~~~~, then your username and a timestamp will automatically be inserted for you.
- BTW2 If you are involved with the Art School, you really should disclose that on your user page. And try to abide by the WP:COI policy linked above. AlistairMcMillan (talk) 16:39, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
- I used to go to the Art School many, many moons ago. I just can't stand the constant sniping from those who are public on facebook and othere social media, planting negative stuff here merely to discredit people who have now been removed. Lynx Kassandra (talk) 13:25, 6 October 2022 (UTC)
