Re Brasenose College, Oxford
Hello, Dogspring, and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your edits to the article on Brasenose College and for adding updated information. I wanted to explain some changes I made to your edits.

Firstly, external links inline the text are discouraged. I have reformatted them as references. Also I found an instance where phrasing was very similar to the college's website. Close paraphrasing is a copyright violation and so not allowed on Wikipedia, and I have therefore rephrased it. I also removed the promotional phrase "large and successful" because it is inappropiate to make such comments without sourcing to a reliable source. Otherwise, Wikipedia would become a place for promotion, which it is not. If you have a conflict of interest with regard to Brasenose you should disclose it.

If you have any further questions about Wikipedia, feel free to ask at the Teahouse or post on my talk page. Thanks, BethNaught (talk) 22:52, 9 March 2015 (UTC)
