User talk:Jwmoore-usfca

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited 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:
 * The plain and simple conflict of interest guide
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * Tutorial
 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
 * Simplified Manual of Style

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! Basie (talk) 00:43, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

Copyright
Given your username, I think it's safe to assume that you have some connection with the USF nursing school. You might not be aware that, even though you come from the school, Wikipedia can't publish information taken directly from your website because USF restricts use of its content to personal, and does not allow reproducing or retransmitting it (see https://www.usfca.edu/about/termsandconditions/.) Even if it did, the content from the site promotes the school and Wikipedia articles are intented to represent a neutral point of view.

I hope this initial experience with WP hasn't been too frustrating for you. I understand it can be difficult when you want to get the word out about your organisation, but that's not our purpose here. Cheers, Basie (talk) 01:35, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for your feedback!
Thank you for taking time to provide me with feedback regarding my first edits in Wikipedia and on this page. I am affiliated with USF as a student, administrator, and faculty member. Your remarks have been very helpful and I will keep this information in mind when editing in the future.

Best regards,

 * You're welcome. It's not that there can't be more content (and updated content) added, it just needs to be written from scratch and properly sourced. Let me know if I can help with anything. Cheers, Basie (talk) 01:48, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

I do have one more question that I am currently working on resolving. The name of the page "School of Nursing" needs to be changed to "School of Nursing and Health Professions." Is there a way to go about editing the page to reflect this change? Jwmoore-usfca (talk) 02:03, 14 January 2015 (UTC)

talk On this particular USF School of Nursing & Health Professions page, I noticed that the Wiki Commons table at the bottom needs to be updated to reflect the change of School name also. How do I go about changing the Wiki Commons table?
