User talk:S124816

Welcome!

Hello, S124816, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, your edit to Lally School of Management does not conform to Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View policy (NPOV). Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media.

There's a page about the NPOV policy that has tips on how to effectively write about disparate points of view without compromising the NPOV status of the article as a whole. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Questions page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, click here to ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. Below are a few other good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Questions or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! — rsjaffe 🗣️ 19:06, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello S124816. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Lally School of Management, gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being employed (or being compensated in any way) by a person, group, company or organization to promote their interests. Paid advocacy on Wikipedia must be disclosed even if you have not specifically been asked to edit Wikipedia. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:S124816. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=S124816|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 02:58, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You are strongly discouraged from direct article editing. Se notice above. Statements in thee article, with narrow exceptions, need to be supported by reliable objective third-party sources. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 04:26, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Our Wikipedia page was very old. It needs an update. We just want to get up to date with the latest information. I have sited all the sources.

Orphaned non-free image File:Lally School of Management logo.png

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Lally School of Management logo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --Min☠︎rax^«¦talk¦» 16:21, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the note. I added the image to Lally School of Management. S124816 (talk) 16:57, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have reverted your changes to Lally School of Management

While adding an image can be viewed as NPOV, the changes that were recently made do not meet that standard. You have admitted a Conflict of Interest, the procedure is to go to Talk:Lally School of Management and make requests *there* using Template:Edit COI. Please read the text at the template location.Naraht (talk) 20:50, 26 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
