editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors;
linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam); and,

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Sydney University Evangelical Union. While objective prose about products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Thank you.

Please also read WP:NOTE, WP:CRUFT , WP:NPOV and WP:COI. Michellecrisp (talk) 05:44, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not assume ownership of articles such as Sydney University Evangelical Union. If you aren't willing to allow your contributions to be edited extensively or be redistributed by others, please do not submit them. Thank you. Michellecrisp (talk) 06:00, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop assuming ownership of articles. Doing so may lead to disruptive behavior such as edit wars and is a violation of policy, which may lead to a block from editing. Michellecrisp (talk) 06:02, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. Michellecrisp (talk) 06:03, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'd appreciate if you simply don't revert without consultation. You are on the brink of violating WP:3RR. we use WP:CONSENSUS in Wikipedia. Please check out other sites particularly good articles on what an article should look like. In its current form the SUEU has too much WP:CRUFT.

Please use Edit summaries when editing, makes it easier for everyone to track edits. See Help:Edit_summary Michellecrisp (talk) 06:13, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Moffdog, I agree that there are concerns here. You seem to be on Wikipedia for one purpose and one purpose only, which is to promote a school group. Please stop. If you keep adding obviously unencyclopedic information, you risk having your account access blocked. A better avenue to take, is to search for any published sources (books, magazine articles) which talk about the group, and then ensure that the Wikipedia article covers only what has already been published elsewhere. This would adhere to our verifiability policy. Even better, try working on some other articles around Wikipedia, which will help give you a feel for how things work here. --El on ka 06:17, 23 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
