One of your recent edits has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images&mdash;you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Copying text from other sources for more information.

Your edits also violated several other Wikipedia policies and guidelines, including WP:NPOV and our Manual of Style. If you need help, please ask. But repeatedly violating the same policies and guidelines won't work out very well. ElKevbo (talk) 18:12, 5 March 2023 (UTC)

 * Can you please explain to me the exact reasons why the editing is "disruptive"? I sincerely would like to know so I can correct the behavior moving forward.
 * Regards Cindy54321 (talk) 18:50, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
 * From the warning at the top of this page and the block log, it's fairly obvious. What's your affiliation with Howard University School of Law?--Bbb23 (talk) 19:48, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Bbb23,
 * The point of me writing is to determine which one of the edits violated the above and how exactly. That is all I am asking - which will enable me to do better next time.
 * I saw "Elkevbo"s comments and I thought I re-did them in the correct way, but apparently not.
 * Regards Cindy54321 (talk) 21:14, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
 * What "next time"? And you didn't answer my question.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:30, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes, I am. Cindy54321 (talk) 23:56, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Sorry, please disregard the last message. My question:  Do I need an affiliation with the School to be able to edit? Cindy54321 (talk) 00:01, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I am going to assume that you are affiliated with the school, despite your rather obvious attempt to then deny it. Unless you're going to be truthful, I am not going to respond to any more of your questions.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:13, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
 * No one is trying to deny anything. I just didn't think it was relevant to edits.  Since you are assuming that I am affiliated, does that mean you are going to unblock me and restore my edits to the article? Cindy54321 (talk) 00:28, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
 * If you're affiliated with the institution then you have a conflict of interest and probably should not be editing the article directly but instead making requests and suggestions in the article's Talk page. If you're being paid by the institution then you must disclose that relationship and you really shouldn't be editing the article. That's why we keep asking if you're associated with the school - it's not just idle curiosity but because we have specific policies and practices that may apply if you're associated with the school.

 * Elkevbo,
 * Thank you for your message and explanation.
 * According to Wikipedia's definition of a "conflict of interest" as described in the link in your response - I do not have one and I do not fall into any of the categories. Thus, I can confirm that I am not an affiliate of the School according to Wikipedia's "conflict of interest" guidelines.
 * As you can see, the edits I made are updates to the existing information already in the article and other updates/changes were made to increase conciseness and clarity. There are no updates that are associated with me personally or professionally.
 * Regards Cindy54321 (talk) 09:09, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I have revoked your access to this page. You have been using it only to be evasive and sly, avoiding at all costs answering direct questions about your connection to the school. Your block was for copyright violations and promotion with an obvious conflict of interest. Your post-block comments have made it clear that your only interest here is to edit that article in a manner that violates Wikipedia policy. You have also demonstrated that we cannot trust what you say.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:15, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
