User talk:Niskyman1234

December 2020
Hello, Niskyman1234. 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 WP: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. Blablubbs | talk 16:39, 17 December 2020 (UTC)

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you. Blablubbs | talk 16:46, 17 December 2020 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Niskayuna High School, you may be blocked from editing. Your edits have been automatically marked as vandalism and have been automatically reverted. The following is the log entry regarding this vandalism: Niskayuna High School was changed by Niskyman1234 (u) (t) ANN scored at 0.961246 on 2020-12-17T16:46:48+00:00 Thank you.

 You have been blocked from editing from certain pages (Niskayuna High School) for a period of 24 hours for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:.

Some notes
There was an edit conflict and you were blocked as I was typing this out, but I recommend you read it anyway. I understand that you are trying to improve Wikipedia, you need to stop reverting and listen. The content you are adding violates a number of our core content policies. Please carefully read the below: Thanks, Blablubbs | talk 16:59, 17 December 2020 (UTC)
 * 1) All material on Wikipedia must be reliably sourced, especially when it pertains to living people in any way shape or form.
 * 2) Knowing that something is true does not make it suitable for inclusion – we strive for verifiability, not truth.
 * 3) The burden of proof is on YOU to verify your statements. You cannot tell people to send you an e-mail to verify your claims, you have to back them up with reliable sources.
 * 4) Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Lists of past principals and the like belong on websites, not in an encyclopaedia.
 * 5) Something having been on a page for a long time does not justify its inclusion.
 * 6) We are not a venue for promoting anything or anyone, no matter how great you think something may be.
 * 7) If you are in a paid role with the school, you MUST disclose this, otherwise you are in violation of our terms of use, and potentially the law.
 * 8) If you are otherwise affiliated with the school, you are strongly discouraged from editing directly.
 * 9) Edit warring is disruptive.
 * 10) Wikipedia articles are not owned by their subjects. They belong to the community, and are governed by community processes. Multiple people have reverted your edits; the onus is on you to justify inclusion of the material.
 * First, as Blablubbs said at the top of this page, if you're the editor-in-chief of the school yearbook and writing about the yearbook, that's a conflict of interest. Second, to be frank, while the content you're adding may be true, it isn't notable - Wikipedia isn't for extensive lists of trivia sourced to the school's website, school yearbook, etc. If independent, reliable sources have written about something, that is worth including. Finally, you are edit-warring, which is almost never acceptable. I encourage you to seek alternative outlets for writing about your club and your school - the school website, for example. Not here.
