promotional article on Paris School of International Affairs
On June 26, you contributed an article on this school, but it was a highly promotional article, not in the style of the English Wikipedia,. As reviewing administrator, I would have been justified in deleting it as entirely promotional in need of major rewriting, but since I know the importance of the school, I am going to give you a chance to improve it. A Wikipedia article needs to be written like an encyclopedia article, not a press release--don't praise the organization  ---talk about what they have accomplished. Remember not to copy from a web site, even your own -- first it's a copyright violation, but, even if you own the copyright and are willing to give us permission according to WP:DCM, the tone will not be encyclopedic and the material will not be suitable. (Thus, there is generally no purpose in giving permission; it is better to rewrite.)

Include only material that would be of interest to a general reader coming across the mention of the subject and wanting the sort of information that would be found in an encyclopedia. Do not include material that would be of interest only to those associated with the subject, or to prospective students--that sort of content is considered promotional. On the other hand, do include content setting the article in a general context for those not familiar with it--for example, a straight-forward description of your relationship with science-po. It's not even immediately clear whether you are or are not a part of it.

Avoid puffery. do not use promotional phrases such as " " and " ". Do not keep referring to the fame of the school. Thearticle should show that without the need to use any adjectives of praise. The list of notable alumni should be confined to those with articles in Wikipedia. If they have articles only in the French Wikipedia, include them, but it would be well advised to immediately translate the article so it appears here also. A list of notable faculty should be added, on the same basis.

As a general rule, a suitable page will be best written by someone without Conflict of Interest; it's not impossible to do it properly with a conflict of interest or as a paid press agent, but it's relatively more difficult: you are automatically thinking in terms of what the subject wishes to communicate to the public, but an uninvolved person will think in terms of what the public might wish to know. And keep in mind that the goal of an encyclopedia is to say things in a concise manner, which is not the style of  press releases or  web sites, which are usually more expansive.

If you think you can do it right according to our guidelines, do so, but expect the article to be carefully checked for objectivity. Otherwise, it will be necessary for other to do it for you. at this point, I expect that you will in the next week revise the article, removing everything copied from your web site or other publications, and rewriting everything that is education jargon. Otherwise, I will decide whether it is easier to rewrite it or delete it as promotional, and start over.

I need to point out also that your article on Ghassan Salamé has the same problems: consider the first paragraph--it's pure puffery. And once more, I wonder if the material is copied. (even if the original was in French, posting an exact translation of a copyrighted source violates the copyright of the original.)  DGG ( talk ) 01:42, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I've given you long enough. I'll now do it. Please don't restore the promotionalism, To make things clear, I'm placing a formal notice.  DGG ( talk ) 00:57, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
