Connection to Thunderbird School of Global Management?
Do you have a connection to Thunderbird School of Global Management? ElKevbo (talk) 20:56, 5 July 2018 (UTC)

ELKevbo, Yes. I will be a graduate student attending Thunderbird in August of 2018. I am not an employee, nor am I paid by Thunderbird or Arizona State University. Respectfully, RUNVS2
 * Thanks for responding to the note above. You have a conflict of interest for the school.
 * We manage conflict of interest here in WP like it is managed in academic publishing.
 * Please disclose the COI on your userpage -- User:RUNVS2 (a redlink, because you have not written anything there yet) -- in a simple way, like "I am a student at Thunderbird School of Global Management and have a conflict of interest with regard to that topic" would be fine.
 * Please do not edit directly, but request edits on the talk page, for other people to review and implement. When you make the request, please disclose that you are a student there.
 * This is all described in the WP:COI guideline.
 * OK? Jytdog (talk) 19:23, 11 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Jytdog, Yes. Thank you for the guidance and assistance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RUNVS2 (talk • contribs) 19:57, 11 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Thanks for replying!  Quick note on the logistics of discussing things on Talk pages, which are essential for everything that happens here. In Talk page discussions, we "thread" comments by indenting (see WP:THREAD) - when you reply to someone, you put a colon in front of your comment, which the Wikipedia software will render into an indent when you save your edit; if the other person has indented once, then you indent twice by putting two colons in front of your comment, which the WP software converts into two indents, and when that gets ridiculous you reset back to the margin (or "outdent") by putting this  in front of your comment. This also allows you to make it clear if you are also responding to something that someone else responded to if there are more than two people in the discussion; in that case you would indent the same amount as the person just above you in the thread.  I hope that all makes sense. And at the end of the comment, please "sign" by typing exactly four (not 3 or 5) tildas "~" which the WP software converts into a date stamp and links to your talk and user pages when you save your edit.  That is how we know who said what to whom and when.


 * Please be aware that threading and signing are fundamental etiquette here, as basic as "please" and "thank you", and continually failing to thread and sign communicates rudeness, and eventually people may start to ignore you (see here).


 * I know this is unwieldy, but this is the software environment we have to work on. Sorry about that.


 * If you have any questions about editing, please feel free to drop me a line. You may find User:Jytdog/How useful as an orientation to how Wikipedia works. Best regards Jytdog (talk) 17:39, 13 July 2018 (UTC)
