Hello, AveLaw2000. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Ave Maria School of Law, 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 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. Horse Eye&#39;s Back (talk) 20:48, 3 February 2022 (UTC)

 * I do, which, of course, is not prohibited by Wikipedia. AveLaw2000 (talk) 00:51, 8 March 2024 (UTC)


 * If you're being paid for your edits, even if it's just as part of your job, our terms of service require you to disclose that. Even if you're not being paid, you're still required to abide by our conflict of interest policies and practices. ElKevbo (talk) 00:58, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately I don't know enough yet about Wiki editing. Where/how do I disclose? AveLaw2000 (talk) 01:14, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
 * There is some helpful advice in the "How to disclose section" of our paid-contribution disclosure page. If you're being paid by the school, the easiest way to disclose that is to edit your User page and add this template:.
 * There is also some helpful advice for newer editors in our "plain and simple conflict of interest guide". ElKevbo (talk) 01:49, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much! Can I ask what did I screw up on the wiki commons upload? (Sorry to treat you like the FAQ.) 2601:6C1:700:660:BC68:186F:3C4A:28AE (talk) 02:26, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
 * No worries; I'm happy to help.
 * There are two issues with the logo that was uploaded to Commons. First, the upload said that the image was covered by a Creative Commons license. That's an extraordinary claim as most organizations will want to retain control over their marketing images (logo, seal, wordmark, etc.). That could be fixed by changing the license associated with the image (or by providing evidence that the school has genuinely made the image available under a CC license, of course). Second, the image probably isn't made available by the school under a free license and that's what is required for images on Commons. English Wikipedia, however, allows copyrighted images if a fair use claim is made - that's really common for logos, seals, and such when we just want to use the image in the article about that organization. If you upload the image to English Wikipedia, there should be an explicit option to mark it as "fair use" if you also supply the name(s) of the specific article(s) in which the image will be used.
