Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Mackenzie Institute. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you.

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Mackenzie86. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article Mackenzie Institute, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:


 * avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
 * instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the request edit template);
 * when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. Wikishovel (talk) 17:53, 9 November 2016 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Zackmann08. Thank you for your recent contributions to Mackenzie Institute. I noticed that when you added the image to the infobox, you added it as a thumbnail. In the future, please do not use thumbnails when adding images to an infobox (see WP:INFOBOXIMAGE). What does this mean? Well in the infobox, when you specify the image you wish to use, instead of doing it like this:

SomeImage.jpg

Instead just supply the name of the image. So in this case you can simply do:

SomeImage.jpg.

There will then be a separate parameter for the image caption such as Some image caption. Please note that this is a generic form message I am leaving on your page because you recently added a thumbnail to an infobox. The specific parameters for the image and caption may be different for the infobox you are using! Please consult the Template page for the infobox being used to see better documentation. Thanks!

Username concern
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Mackenzie86", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it represents an organization in violation of Username policy. Organizations, as well as roles (such as "Director", "Marketing", etc.) are prohibited from having Wikipedia accounts. A username must represent only you as an individual person. Please go to WP:CHU/Simple to request a change of username. If you wish to retain a connection with your organization, you may use a name like "My Name at Mackenzie" or something similar, as long as it is clear that this account belongs to one person, not the organization. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username by completing this form, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. ~Anachronist (talk) 22:08, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

Also, please review Paid-contribution disclosure. When you created your account, you agreed to abide by the Terms of Use, which requires that you disclose your association with your employer whom you are writing about. Please put the template on your user page User:Mackenzie86. Thanks. ~Anachronist (talk) 22:13, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Mackenzie Institute Logo.png
 Thanks for uploading File:Mackenzie Institute Logo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:47, 28 January 2017 (UTC)
