Hello, Nadiaras. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Spam);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. 2601:188:180:B8E0:0:0:0:4FAD (talk) 17:13, 1 June 2022 (UTC)

You still have not adequately responded or taken action to the inquiry regarding your appearance as an undisclosed paid editor. If you make any additional edits without complying, you may be blocked from editing. PRAXIDICAE💕 18:08, 1 June 2022 (UTC)


 * I made updates regarding the DMZ since it has been years since it's been updated, including the university name change of "Ryerson University." I also added links and references to new programs the DMZ has - not to promote what they offer but to provide actual relevant information regarding the incubator. To clarify, I am not getting paid by the DMZ for these changes. Nadiaras (talk) 18:24, 1 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Really? So how are all their professional photos your own work? PRAXIDICAE💕  18:25, 1 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Since I don't have images myself and couldn't use ones that aren't my own, I emailed the DMZ to ask if I was able to use some of their images for this. They sent me a few and this is what I used. Nadiaras (talk) 18:42, 1 June 2022 (UTC)
 * I responded to the inquiry about the assumption I'm getting paid to edit the page, stating that's not the case. It's now been over a week and I haven't heard anything back. I just wanted to see how I can solve this issue of getting the page to how it was with all the updates I worked on for it or if there is any other solution? Nadiaras (talk) 23:44, 12 June 2022 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Nadiaras! While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.


 * You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
 * Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
 * We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
 * If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Donating copyrighted materials.
 * Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Cabayi (talk) 06:50, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
