Your edit here to University of Nicosia was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (http://www.facebook.com/UniversityNicosia) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link.

I've reverted your edit to Intercollege, restoring the redirect. Your article consists of purely promotional material, and only a single reference of no real substance. From your editing history, it looks like you might have some kind of affiliation with the university. If so, it is advisable not to edit the page at all, and you must declare any paid relationship. QuiteUnusual (talk) 16:29, 26 October 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for your message QuiteUnusual. It is not my intention to add promotional material, only informational. I work for the University of Nicosia and we are affiliated with Intercollege. They are two separate entities since 2007 and I am trying to make the information on Wikipedia more accurate. These two entities should in fact have separate articles, dedicated to each, and make reference in both articles that the branch-off happened in 2007. Kitsios.a (talk) 16:49, 26 October 2020 (UTC)

Can we at least start by separating the two articles? At the moment that is the most important thing in terms of accuracy. Intercollege should not redirect to University of Nicosia as they are in fact separate entities. Kitsios.a (talk) 17:00, 26 October 2020 (UTC)

You must make a disclosure before editing
Hello Kitsios.a. 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:Kitsios.a. 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. 82.3.19.200 (talk) 22:03, 26 October 2020 (UTC)

Thank you 82.3.19.200. I was not aware of that. I do work for the University of Nicosia but all edits I make are for the sake of accuracy of information, not promotion.

Regardless, I will disclose my employer on my user page immediately, so that I can comply with the regulations, and will proceed with proposing edits for existing articles relating to my employer, and propose article creation where necesaary.

Thank you again for your message and apologies. I honestly was not aware of the above. Kitsios.a (talk) 06:53, 27 October 2020 (UTC)
