Hello KirkDickey. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an 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.

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.

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:KirkDickey. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. Please do not edit further until you answer this message. ElKevbo (talk) 20:51, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, such as at Talk:Collin_College, (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either: This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.
 * 1) Add four tildes  ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment, or
 * 2) With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button OOjs UI icon signature-ltr.svg located above the edit window.

Thank you. Actualcpscm (talk) 09:35, 29 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Hello Actualcpscm, my apologies for not signing my edit to the talk page. I do not consider myself a Wikipedia editor and I missed that part of the process. Sorry about that. I will do better in the future. Is there any way to have the requested edits reviewed by the community and/or implemented by one of the editors? The statement mentioned in the request has been quoted by third-party sources as well as being published on the college's news page. KirkDickey (talk) 13:20, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
 * COI requests like yours will eventually be answered, but it can take some time because there is a significant backlog. There is no further action required; someone will get to it at some point. We appreciate your patience! Actualcpscm (talk) 13:24, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
 * OK. Thank you. I will let my bosses know. KirkDickey (talk) 13:27, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
