User talk:EmoryLawWebmaster

Welcome!
Hello, EmoryLawWebmaster, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Emory University School of Law, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article.&#32;Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or any other editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

Here are some pages that you might find helpful: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome! Drmies (talk) 18:07, 4 September 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Meters. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to the main body of Emory University School of Law. Generally, any relevant external links should be listed in an "External links" section at the end of the article and meet the external links guidelines. Links within the body of an article should be internal Wikilinks. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

 * The wp:COI and username issues have already been mentioned. I'll add that the original undo of your edit was well explained and, in my opinion, valid. Undoing it without an edit summary (as you did) is not acceptable. In effect, you were calling that edit vandalism, which it certainly was not. Per WP:BRD you should have discussed your edit on the talk page rather than restoring it. I've left the portion of your edit that OK and removed the inline external links again. If you don't understand User:Drmies's edit summary suggestions please ask for clarification. Meters (talk) 18:42, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Thank you . Webmaster, that list looks a lot better now, but whether it's to be kept or not is another matter, since it's really directory-style material. Some relevant guidelines are at College and university article guidelines, which also has a list of articles on universities that are Featured Articles and can serve as a model--including, for instance, Law school of Beirut. Appalachian School of Law is a Good Article, which also is instructive to look at. Drmies (talk) 18:50, 4 September 2014 (UTC)

EmoryLawWebmaster, you are invited to the Teahouse!
Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that 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. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. 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 below this notice. Thank you. Daniel Case (talk) 01:05, 6 September 2014 (UTC)
