Hello, ShvWebmaster. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center Shreveport, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. Theroadislong (talk) 15:06, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

Hello ShvWebmaster, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your addition to Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center Shreveport has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.


 * 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 a cited source. 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. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
 * Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Copyrights. You may also want to review Copy-paste.
 * If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Donating copyrighted materials.
 * In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
 * Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied without attribution. If you want to copy from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Copying within Wikipedia.

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. Theroadislong (talk) 15:07, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center Shreveport, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you. Theroadislong (talk) 15:35, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

Please stop. Continuing to remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center Shreveport, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, may be considered disruptive editing. Further edits of this type may result in your account being blocked from editing. The content you have copied and pasted from your website is overly promotional and the website still says the content is © 2014 LSU Health Shreveport. Theroadislong (talk) 16:38, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

This is your last warning. The next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center Shreveport, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Jim1138 (talk) 17:11, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

Conflict of interest
You have a conflict of interest, are not editing in a manner appropriate with Wikipedia's goals, and should not be editing the article. 19:04, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

Hi, I see that you have said on the talk page of the article that the content is also licensed under CC-BY-SA 3.0 and GFDL. To prove this, the best way to do so is to add the licensing to the original webpage. The correct way to grant permission on Wikipedia without changing the original webpage is to email permissions-en@wikimedia.org from an official LSU email address and explain that you have the authority to release the content under those licenses. Make sure to include a link to the article and also the LSU article so they know what you're talking about. A ticket handler will process it and should note on the talk page that the license is valid (this will often take days, I've even waited more than a week for an image I gained permission for). The email address and any personal details will remain private. James086 Talk 17:12, 4 March 2014 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add soapboxing, promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, as you did at LSU Health Sciences Center Shreveport, you may be blocked from editing. Theroadislong (talk) 17:26, 8 October 2018 (UTC)

There have been two problems with this account: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group or a web site, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing.

If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy. Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In that reason, you must:
 * Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked.
 * Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. SmartSE (talk) 21:50, 8 October 2018 (UTC)

Please note that Wikipedia articles contain information found in independent reliable sources; Wikipedia has no interest in what an organization wants to say about itself. If there is incorrect information in an article about your organization, we want to know what it is, but in the correct manner. 331dot (talk) 14:04, 9 October 2018 (UTC)
