User talk:APEC Schools

September 2020
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page APEC Schools has been reverted. Your edit here to APEC Schools was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (https://www.facebook.com/APECSchools/) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 07:32, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, APEC Schools. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page APEC Schools, 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 Conflict of interest);
 * 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 Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you.  Eostrix  (&#x1F989; hoot hoot&#x1F989;) 07:39, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy or request a change of username. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. Additionally, if your contributions to Wikipedia form all or part of work for which you are, or expect to be, paid, you must disclose who is paying you to edit. Please also note that you are permitted to use a username that contains the name of a company or organization if it identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87". If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. Thank you. Glen (talk) 08:20, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

You are only blocked for your username- please follow the instructions above to request a new username or you may just create a new account with a policy-compliant username. Either way, you should avoid making direct edits about your organization, but you may make formal edit requests(click for instructions) on article talk pages, detailing changes you feel are needed. Please note that Wikipedia is not interested in what an organization wants to say about itself, but in what independent reliable sources have chosen to say about it. That said, any input you have is welcome. 331dot (talk) 08:39, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Deepfriedokra. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to APEC Schools have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. -- Deep fried okra ( talk ) 08:41, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

Wikipedia has little interest in what
the representatives of a subject have to say about the subject. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and not a venue for promoting businesses. "All content must be cited from reliable sources that are unconnected with the subject and have a reputation for fact checking." Due to your conflict of interest, it would be best if you suggest edits at Talk:APEC Schools‎ rather than editing the article directly. -- Deep fried okra ( talk ) 08:45, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

The content you added was copied from the school's website, and thus was a violation of Wikipedia's copyright policy. Please don't add copyright material to Wikipedia. — Diannaa (talk) 12:29, 10 September 2020 (UTC)
