Your recent edits

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 22:32, 27 August 2013 (UTC)

Renfro.timothy: I'm an administrator here on en.wikipedia (as is Drmies) and looking at your edits, I see you came on the scene here at Wikipedia in 2010 and that you have made edits such as this one curating the McMurry University article, but that no one appears to have ever welcomed you and shown you where to look up our rules and conventions. So I've very belatedly given you the template above.

Please note that what we have articles on and what those articles say is governed by what independent reliable sources have said. (A succinct statement.) That means that if you want Virgil E. Bottom, Stephen L. Hardin, Donald S. Frazier, C. Jeffery Kinlaw, and Clark Beasley to be listed as notable faculty in the McMurry article, you or someone else needs first to create an article on each of them. The applicable notability criteria for college and university faculty are here; if they meet them, please help us out by creating the articles, and then by all means they can be included there.

Also, please note that although we welcome experts here, Wikipedia is a collaborative effort. You cannot forbid other editors to work on the McMurry article; the policy against this applies to people writing about their own organizations as much as to anyone else, all writing on Wikipedia must be neutral, and these are in fact the reasons why we discourage people editing in areas to which they are too emotionally close.

If as you say the article is using an inappropriate seal, it would be best for you to upload a more appropriate one, and you could help us out a lot by doing so.

I hope these points and the links help a bit? Please feel free to ask about anything; I do realize how much hidden complexity there is to Wikipedia, and I would very much like us to have articles on any of those professors who meet the requirements '-) Yngvadottir (talk) 23:41, 27 August 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for the help getting on board. Renfro 9:23, 28 August 2013 (UTC)
