Conflict of interest at Beloit College‎

edit

  Hello, Kquave. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the article Beloit College, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI 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, company, organization or competitors;
  • propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
  • disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
  • 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 must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. 32.218.42.122 (talk) 03:33, 1 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

Potential Conflict: Your student has begun editing a page I had already assigned a student to work on

edit

My student, user: Hoopsf, began editing the papge,Internalized racism as part of her course assignment on October 3. That she is working on the page as part of her course assignment has long been noted on the talk page of the article. It seems that one of your students, user: Xinyuliu2000, began editing the page over a month later, adding content in ways that are partially redundant with the work of my student, who is therefore moving/editing your student's work. Personally, before giving permission for one of my students to work on a page, I check to make sure that the page has not been assigned for student work in another class. That said, of course, anyone can edit Wikipedia, but I wanted to alert you to this potential conflict, which can muddy the waters for academic assessment of student work. Please ping me if you'd like to discuss so that we can handle this situation in a mutually reasonable way. DStrassmann (talk) 14:14, 11 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

@DStrassmann: I apologize for missing this. I will be sure students post their intentions for major edits to the Talk page in the future to avoid any editing redundancies. Thank you for your note. Kquave (talk) 22:45, 18 December 2018 (UTC)Reply
