Welcome
Hello, I'm Viewmont Viking. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.-- VViking Talk Edits 20:28, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

Hello Sherry English. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to University of Cincinnati College of Law, gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being employed (or being compensated in any way) by a person, group, company or organization to promote their interests. Paid advocacy on Wikipedia must be disclosed even if you have not specifically been asked to edit Wikipedia. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are  required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Sherry English. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 15:40, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

 * I am really trying to simply get accurate and timley information onto this page. I work for the university and the law school and this page is doing more harm being unfiniished than it is giving an accurate idea of what the college of law has to offer. I understand you have rules, but I am not going to beleive that every page has a paid sticker on it due to the fact that the information is helpful to that university. Please explain what about my latest edits which were linked to actual articles and rankings means paid promotion. If the NFL ranked a team as the number 1 team in history based on their metrixs and that team had that added to their wiki please tell me how this is different. Thank you,
 * ALSO I OWN ALL THE COPYWRITE ON THIS PAGE I TOOK THE PHOTOS AND WORK FOR THE UNIVERSITY! Sherry English (talk) 17:21, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi Sherry. Would you like some help, or would you like to yell. I'm happy to help, but I don't plan to stick around for the latter. Make sure you read the paid disclosure guideline. The article itself doesn't need a "sticker". Firefangledfeathers (talk / contribs) 18:31, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
