Please don't add external links to the body of articles. And please don't capitalize common nouns like "university." Thanks! ElKevbo (talk) 23:29, 28 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

  You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. ElKevbo (talk) 23:39, 28 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

Do you have a connection to the University of Mary Washington? ElKevbo (talk) 23:29, 28 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

Yes. Please stop changing the work being added and or updated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jponceumw (talkcontribs) 19:34, April 28, 2021 (UTC)
 

Hello Jponceumw. The nature of your edits 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 compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. 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 very 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 extremely 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:Jponceumw. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Jponceumw|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. ElKevbo (talk) 23:36, 28 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

The edits are to present current and relevant information to the user. The page was outdated. The information was in the areas corrected, incorrect. Due to covid-19 courses have updates. The new information is relevant to the user and educational in nature. The school's policy is to capitalize the word university. The update to my page will be done.

The school's policy is irrelevant as the school does not own the page; Wikipedia's policy is not to capitalize. And external links of the type you inserted go against the manual of style. Updates are welcome, so long as they aren't WP:recentism, but given the edit war at the page, you should propose them first at Talk: University of Mary Washington. {{u|Sdkb}}talk 00:59, 29 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

The "U"s' in the word university where not in the name the University of Mary Washington, are now reduced to the lowercase form. The links to individual courses have been removed from the body of the text. The links have removed.

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for edit warring, as you did at University of Mary Washington. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.
During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.
If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  GorillaWarfare (talk) 02:52, 29 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
