Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Simplified Manual of Style


 * Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring or sock puppetry.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
 * Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date).

College Year in Athens
I've seen your message, and there are some other problems as well as the copyright. I haven't got time now, but I'll answer in detail tomorrow  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  19:08, 9 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient.
 * Close paraphrasing, where it is still obvious that it's basically the same text, is still copyright
 * Notable faculty/alumni &mdash; lose "notable". It looks spammy and if they are not notable, you shouldn't be mentioning them. If they don't have a Wikipedia article, they probably aren't notable anyway. Headings should only have the first word capitalised.
 * There is a lot of spammy phrasing, such as top-tier and other experts who have special knowledge
 * It reads like a sales leaflet, bits like the housing section are not encyclopaedic material, and are just a pitch to potential students. Why is it of global interest that it has fully equipped kitchens?
 * Conversely, you omit boring stuff like how it's funded, turnover, number of staff employed. Without this, it's difficult to see if it meets the notability guidelines.
 * Has there ever been any criticism of you organisation?
 * What is GPA? Is there such a thing as "American standards for teaching and grading"? If so, please link, otherwise it looks like an assumption that American is good by definition.
 * Your refs will look better if you format them with a description like this:
