Jskltn, you are invited to the Teahouse!
Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you. Mean as custard (talk) 17:02, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

I work at this organization and I wanted to update this page with updated and fuller information. Jskltn (talk) 17:27, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

Hello Jskltn. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are  required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Jskltn. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message.   Pahunkat (talk) 17:02, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

I am an employee of Willie Ross School for the Deaf. I am charged with maintaining our social media / web presence. The page for the school was just one line and most of the information (e.g. website) was incorrect. I have updated our page but someone keeps reverting it. Why am I being prevented from making updates to our Wikipedia page? Jskltn (talk) 17:23, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

I have made the requested disclosure on my username page. May I please proceed with updating the school's page, please? Jskltn (talk) 17:42, 1 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Hello, I just came across this from my watchlist. Note that the revision of the page you are trying to restore currently has a number of issues - firstly, it is like an advert and clearly written from a neutral point of view. Secondly, it is completely unsourced - citations to reliable and independent sources are needed in order to keep information verifiable.

I noticed that you say that you are charged with maintaining a "social media/web presence". Wikipedia is not a place for promotinon/advertising and organizations do not own articles about themselves. In any case, you will need to request edits rather than edit the page directly. Writing content on Wikipedia is hard - I would strongly recommend looking to other platforms than Wikipedia.
