Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not add promotional material to articles or other Wikipedia pages.

Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, but we cannot accept original research. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. Mysterious Whisper (SHOUT)  13:04, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

Making bold edits is encouraged, as it will result in either improving an article, or stimulating discussion. Therefore, if your edit gets reverted, do not revert again. Instead, use the opportunity to begin a discussion with the interested parties to establish consensus. See: WP:Bold, Revert, Discuss. Mysterious Whisper (SHOUT)  16:04, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

Tallinn University of Technology
Good job finding references for the text you added to Tallinn University of Technology. A few more recommendations: In any event, your contributions have thus far been above-average quality (and I believe deleting it all wasn't the most appropriate action; they'll have a much harder time trying to delete it now that it has references). If you can find a few more references, edit it from a neutral point-of-view, and follow the WP:MOS, they will be a major improvement to the article. Keep up the good work.

 * 1) Typically, each referenced work should have exactly one numbered citation (I fixed this for you).
 * 2) Per our policies WP:RS and WP:COI, references should not have a strong tie to the topic. It would be extremely beneficial to have a few more citations from somewhere other than the Tallinn University of Technology website.
 * See: WP:MOS, specifically MOS:LEAD. Note that "The lead should define the topic and summarize the body of the article with appropriate weight." To that end, I would recommend moving most of what you added to it's own section (something like "Tallinn University today", either immediately before or after the "History" section), and writing a ~one-paragraph long summary of the entire article for the lead section.

I made the preliminary move (see here) to show what I was reffering to. Mysterious Whisper (SHOUT)  17:00, 1 August 2012 (UTC)

Dear Mysterious Whisper, thanks for feedback. could you please advise what parts seem promotional and what expressions need to be corrected in order to be neutral?(Murileer (talk) 11:28, 2 August 2012 (UTC))


 * With new references and the most recent modifications, it's not as bad as I first thought, so I've removed that tag. A few sections still need referencing (the ones that are completely unreferenced; though there can never be too many references), and there should stiil be less reliance on the TUT website. If there exists any notable criticism about the University (and I can't imagine there's not), some of it should also be included for balance (right now, it seems overwhelmingly positive, which alone can give it the look of an advertisement). The only specific points I noticed are:


 * - The first paragraph (in particular) under "TUT today" contains inflated language (see: WP:WEASEL) (the next two paragraphs are better, they seem to provide 'just the facts')


 * - Under "Alumni": "Besides the entire technological elite of Estonia" (really? everybody?)


 * All in all, it's much better than it was before you got to it. By the way, if you have a question specifically for me, feel free to leave it on my talk page, and if you need opinions about a specific article, it's best to ask on that articles talk page.

 * I had to remove a number of external links you added. ("External links in an article can be helpful to the reader, but they should be kept minimal, meritable, and directly relevant to the article.""...but they should not normally be used in the body of an article.") I was able to preserve most of the text (I combined "Short courses" with "International degree programs in English"). There were already references to the pages on the Bachelors and Masters degree programs; I added a [link within a reference] to the page on "Short Courses" so people can still find them.
