Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Calmaritime1929", may not comply with our username policy. Please note that you may not use a username that represents the name of a company, group, organization, product, service, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Foobar Museum of Art". However, you are permitted to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you individually (not your role), such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87", but not "SEO Manager at XYZ Company".

Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, service, or website, regardless of your username. Please also read our paid editing policy and our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please request a change of username by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, choosing a username that complies with our username policy. Alternatively, you can just create a new account and use that for editing. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you.

 * Hey there, yes I am new to Wikipedia and can change the username. We are running into some issues on campus with bullying and it has crossed over into harassment (unfortunately) of our university leadership where someone is anonymously trying to change the information in our Wikipedia pages (our general CSUM page as well as President Cropper's page). I replaced the libelous text with our boilerplate language which I see was taken down. Please help us monitor this page for these attacks. Calmaritime1929 (talk) 00:06, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I see that there was a single IP address who made disruptive edits on multiple related articles, but that appears to be all. By your use of language in 'our' and 'we', it seems that you may represent the university in some capacity, please note in that case our conflict of interest policy as it pertains to editing such articles. All pages are continuously monitored for harmful changes, so although the disruptive edits remained for several days, this (in theory) won't happen again. Your edit in particular was removed as it appeared to be promotional, edits of which type are not permitted. Thanks for noticing the harmful addition! Jguglielmin (talk) 01:24, 17 March 2023 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Sullivan15630. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page California State University Maritime Academy, 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, clients, 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 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. Cabayi (talk) 06:39, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
