Lindenwood University
I'm sure that you are trying to improve the Lindenwood University article, but your edits have removed sourced content and replaced it with text that seems to have come from a promotional brochure. Given your user name, you may also want to read WP:COI. Please add content in your own words without removing sourced material. Alansohn (talk) 15:44, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to Lindenwood University has been reverted, as it appears to have removed content from the page without explanation. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, please ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you.

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Onorem♠Dil 16:19, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

Consider this your third warning. We're willing to work with you on this, but if you keep removing properly cited content and adding uncited content, you will be blocked. Suggest controversial changes on the article's Talk page, please.--SarekOfVulcan (talk) 16:24, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
 * If you have a valid copyright claim to that logo, please upload it with a better title, like LindenwoodULogo.jpg. "WikipediaLogo" makes it look like vandalism.--SarekOfVulcan (talk) 16:28, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Much better. :-) Background transparency would be nice, as well, if you can easily do it...--SarekOfVulcan (talk) 16:30, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Given a chance, though, you should make image names as long as reasonable, so they're less-likely to collide with other similar files.--SarekOfVulcan (talk) 16:31, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh, and as Alansohn pointed out earlier, Edit Summaries Are Your Friends. You should turn on the preference that forces you to use one -- I still use it, and I've been here for 5 years.--SarekOfVulcan (talk) 16:34, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
 * 1) editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
 * 2) participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors;
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam); and,
 * 4) avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  17:33, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia, because it has been identified as an account used for promotion of a company or group, with a username that implies that this has been done by that company or group. See FAQ/Organization and Conflict of interest''.

This kind of activity is considered spamming and forbidden by policies, and also violates our username policy.

However, if you feel that there has been a mistake in your blocking, please appeal this block by adding the text   or email the administrator who blocked you. Your reason should include your response to this issue and a new username you wish to adopt that does not violate our username policy (specifically, understand that accounts are for individuals, not companies or groups, and that your username should reflect this). Please check that your new username has not already been taken by checking this list. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  17:33, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
