User talk:UB Athletics

Few things
Hello there, a few things to be aware of. First, if this account is being run by a UB Athletics employee or someone with another close relationship to UB, that needs to be disclosed on your user page due to Wikipedia's policy of conflict of interest. Be sure to read the section on disclosure of COI. I haven't seen any examples of WP:BOOSTERISM or WP:NPOV yet, but it still needs to be disclosed if that is the case, which your user name suggests. In terms of images, make sure any images uploaded to Wikimedia Commons are fully released from copyright or were taken by you on your own time. Anything copyrighted by the university (which is everything taken by university employees with university cameras or paid by the school) requires official communication from UB to the Wikimedia Foundation releasing the image to the public domain, which universities typically won't do. See WP:PERMISSION. Generally, it's simply better and easier to have regular editors take and submit their own photos for use in articles. Any copyrighted photo will be deleted from the Commons.

Also, when using the "minor edit" checkbox, "A check to the minor edit box signifies that only superficial differences exist between the current and previous versions. Examples include typographical corrections, formatting and presentational changes, and rearrangements of text without modification of its content." So, any change to the actual content, even small things like adding names, isn't a "minor edit". Be sure to read Help:Minor edit. Any questions, please ask. --JonRidinger (talk) 00:56, 3 August 2017 (UTC)
