Edit war edit

  You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on University of Chicago. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.

Please build consensus on the page's talk page before reverting any more edits. If you continue to engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Filetime (talk) 16:10, 22 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

It is against Wikipedia's policies to revert content that another user has reverted. Please refrain from making any further reversions before gaining consensus on the page's talk page. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Filetime (talk) 18:57, 22 April 2021 (UTC)Reply

COI edit

  Hello, Audipod. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page University of Chicago, 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. Filetime (talk) 19:22, 22 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
