User talk:129.174.255.57 - Wikipedia

If this is a shared IP address and you are an uninvolved editor with a registered account, you may continue to edit by logging in.

Please make use of the "Show preview" or find some way to consolidate your edits. Your present manor of editing makes for an unnecessarily awkward edit history. Additionally, your edits are unnecessarily cosmetic; there is no need for overstating the obvious. Tiderolls 15:51, 25 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I'm Filmssssssssssss. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to George Mason University have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse or the Help desk. Thanks.

  Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Public policy school. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Boyinaroom (talk) 17:42, 14 June 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hello. Can you please do not make purely cosmetic edits that have no effect on the text whatsoever, as they flood the history? Thank you. 94.200.90.50 (talk) 05:05, 16 June 2023 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, 129.174.255.57. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page George Mason University, 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 {{edit COI}} 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 Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
• 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.   –Skywatcher68 (talk) 19:50, 7 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, I'm FozzieHey. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions—specifically this edit to HEC Montréal—because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse or the Help desk. Thanks.

  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.   –Skywatcher68 (talk) 16:50, 10 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. YBSOne (talk) 22:58, 19 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

  Hello. Some of your recent genre changes have conflicted with our neutral point of view and/or verifiability policies. While we invite all users to contribute constructively to Wikipedia, we urge all editors to provide reliable sources for edits made. When others disagree, we recommend you seek consensus for certain edits by discussing the matter on the article's talk page. There does not appear to be a broad consensus for you to implement these sweeping changes, both locally on Talk:George Mason University and generally. You are encouraged to resolve this not through mass changes to many highly trafficked and heavily edited pages but through nuanced consensus-seeking on the various talk pages and noticeboards. ~ Pbritti (talk) 22:59, 19 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

  You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia. YBSOne (talk) 23:00, 19 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

The IP used here appears to be from George Mason University. I live near the Arlington campus and have ready access to most of the relevant sources related to GMU and its alumni. I very much disapprove of the POINTy disruption that went down. However, I am willing to review the GMU article and ensure that its alumni section correlates with those of similar articles. To whoever was using this IP address, please understand that disrupting Wikipedia is not only something that can get you blocked, but usually it's wholly unnecessary. If you keep asking around, usually there's someone willing to help. ~ Pbritti (talk) 23:18, 19 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
