Hello, I'm Contributor321. I noticed that you recently removed content from California State University, Sacramento without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

Hi. I made those changes to update content because I work at the University and was assigned the task. Now, I see you can deleted what I updated. I did describe my changes. Do you mind telling me why you undid all of my updates? Do you have better information? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Florio37 (talk • contribs) 19:25, October 18, 2019 (UTC)

Hello, Florio37. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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 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 WP:Spam);
• 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. Thank you. ElKevbo (talk) 23:43, 21 October 2019 (UTC)

Hello Elkevbo. I'm not advertising anything. I'm simply trying to update content - as it appears some of the content hasn't been updated since 2012. I did read the COI information and am trying to follow the rules, but I can't figure out the COI template and am trying to get others to post updated content for me. Could yo help with that? It really is annoying when I update things and you take it down, especially when I have access to numbers and info outside sources won't have. We'd like the information about the University to be current and accurate. thanks Florio37 (talk) 23:02, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

Stop editing your employer's article

You have an undeniable conflict of interest; stop editing your employer's article.

Additionally, you must disclose your relationship with subjects that are paying you to edit their article(s). See WP:PAID for additional information. ElKevbo (talk) 00:06, 8 January 2020 (UTC)

Okay. I put the disclosure statement in my user profile and I will put it in the comments to anything I edit on the site, will that be okay? Florio37 (talk) 00:35, 8 January 2020 (UTC)

Thanks. But you still shouldn't be editing your employer's article. If you have a suggestion or request, please post it in Talk so another editor can evaluate it and implement it if they agree. ElKevbo (talk) 03:50, 8 January 2020 (UTC)

There are some things, like student population and such that other people just won't know. For instance, there is incorrect information in there now about the campus president. It's been there since 2014. I understand I shouldn't make the page into a recruitment brochure I'm just trying to make it accurate. I will ask for changes and if no one does them I will make them. I would appreciate if you stop taking down everything that I post if there's nothing wrong with it. For instance, why did you take down the photo of Elaine Welteroth? She's an alum. She was here for a photoshoot. I have a release. You also took down a photo that was on wikicommons (and the person's own wikipedia page) of an alum that I wanted to highlight on our page.
