Connection to Saint Vladimir's Orthodox Theological Seminary‎?

Do you have a connection to Saint Vladimir's Orthodox Theological Seminary‎? ElKevbo (talk) 18:56, 13 July 2020 (UTC)

Yes I do have a connection. I work in the Marketing Department of St. Vladimir's Orthodox Theological Seminary as "Senior Content Manager." I and my colleagues have been in the process of updating St. Vladimir's Wikipedia page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.74.234.178 (talk) 18:50, 14 July 2020 (UTC)

Then it is important that you and your colleagues understand several things before making any further changes:

1. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. Its mission is to provide the public with articles that summarize accepted knowledge, written neutrally and sourced reliably. Readers expect to find neutral articles written independently of their subject, not corporate or personal webpages, or platforms for advertising and self-promotion. Wikipedia has no interest in what the subject of an article (person, organization, thing, etc.) wants to say about themselves.
2. Subjects of articles have no right of ownership or editorial control. Article content is composed of paraphrased summaries of previously published material, taken from sources that are both reliable (ie. have an established reputation for fact-checking and editorial oversight) and independent (ie. have no vested interest in the subject or its portrayal). Article content is arrived at by consensus, and disagreements are resolved through civil discussion and compromise on the article talk page. Disagreements that are not resolved must follow Wikipedia's dispute resolution process.
3. You cannot post copyrighted material on Wikipedia - even if you are the copyright holder - unless the material has been released for use by the verified copyright owner into the public domain or under a license compatible with Wikipedia. These licenses allow anyone - not just Wikipedia—to share, distribute, transmit, and adapt your work, provided that you are attributed as the author. Also, because some derivative works may be commercial, we cannot accept materials that are licensed only for educational use or even for general non-commercial use. Releasing the material is both permanent and irrevocable.
4. Editors who work for the subjects they write about must follow Wikipedia's mandatory and non-negotiable paid editing disclosure policy. Also, because it is a conflict of interest to write about your own organization, we highly discourage you from editing the articles directly. You should restrict yourself to requesting edits on the article talk page.

Notice of Conflict of interest noticeboard discussion

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard regarding a possible conflict of interest incident with which you may be involved. Thank you. ElKevbo (talk) 14:57, 14 July 2020 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Amorcos. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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 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 Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
• avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP: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 Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 15:09, 14 July 2020 (UTC)

July 2020

Hello, I noticed that you may have recently made edits while logged out. Wikipedia's policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow the use of both an account and an IP address by the same person in the same setting and doing so may result in your account being blocked from editing. Additionally, making edits while logged out reveals your IP address, which may allow others to determine your location and identity. If this was not your intention, please remember to log in when editing. Thank you. Drm310 🍁 (talk) 17:36, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
