User talk:Mcnyedu

August 2018
There have been two problems with this account: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group or a web site, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing.

If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy. Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In that reason, you must:
 * Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked.
 * Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. -- Dloh cier ekim  (talk) 16:37, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

I have removed your contact information; it is not wise to post it in this public forum- and even if it were, Wikipedia business must be conducted here. More in a moment. 331dot (talk) 19:34, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

Your edit history indicates this account has only edited today- you may have created it some time ago, but if you didn't edit, no one would have necessarily seen this username to know it was against the username policy. Please understand that the article is a page about your college and is not "your page". You have what we call a conflict of interest in editing about your college, and you should avoid directly doing so.(please review that link). Since you state you work for the college, Wikipedia's Terms of Use require you to review and comply with the paid editing policy. There are indirect ways you can request changes to the article- but please understand that Wikipedia has no interest in what an organization wants to say about itself. Wikipedia exists as an encyclopedia, to document what independent reliable sources state about a subject. If there is incorrect information, or information that needs to be changed in the article about your college, we want to know what it is, but you must do so in the correct manner. This is doing what we call an edit request on the article talk page(in this case, Talk:Metropolitan College of New York). However, promotional materials like mission statements and merely posting the college's offerings is unlikely to be accepted, unless independent sources have written about these things. The same goes for the history of the college- someone outside of and independent of the college must have written about it in order for it to be included here.

Also, if you notice other articles on colleges with mission statements, please point them out so the mission statements can be removed. Mission statements are not appropriate Wikipedia content as it is impossible to independently verify what an entity's "mission" is- as they decide that themselves and can change it at any time. 331dot (talk) 19:46, 16 August 2018 (UTC) --UTRSBot (talk) 14:42, 17 August 2018 (UTC)
