Hi - site reversion: Re: University of Western Ontario Faculty of Education
Good evening,
I have been trying to ensure that the content found on the previous version of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Western_Ontario_Faculty_of_Education is removed and replaced with what I have placed in its stead. I work for the institution in question and the original poster does not. Perhaps I can just get it all deleted? Not sure what the best option is, but the content that was there earlier is not correct.
I have placed text that I think is descriptive, trying not to use promotional language.
Thanks! ...Colin — Preceding unsigned comment added by Couchmancolin (talk • contribs) 02:12, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
- @Couchmancolin: Thanks for your message, and welcome! Please note that since you are an employee of the university and/or faculty you have a conflict of interest relating to the article, and are encouraged to propose changes at the article's talk page rather than editing directly. You can see WP:COI and some of the resources in the welcome message I sent you for more information on editing with a conflict of interest and how to disclose it. Additionally, if the edits you are making are part of your job (i.e. you are making them as an employee who is tasked with promoting the faculty) you are required under the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of service to disclose that on your user page (see WP:PAID).
- Now for the contents of the page itself. First, please understand that editors with a conflict of interest may be adding promotional language even if they don't realize it... purely because they are so connected to the topic in question. You have stated that the content, which details the history of the faculty,is erroneous but a significant portion of it was cited to reliable sources. What exactly about it was erroneous?

Re: Marshmallow
hey there. im not an expert user of the WP interface therefore probably i am to take the blame (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User_talk:80.99.38.199&oldid=820991964&diff=cur ). i noticed that when editing an article if i write something in the edit summary box, it appears as a section title in the article. to avoid this i put the argument/explanation to the talk page of the article. (in this case here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Marshmallow#Section:_Sucrose ). please take time to read it and if you find my point convincing, delete or rewrite the paragraph discussed there. if you disagree about it, let it be. im not going to delete it a third time. cheers. 80.99.38.199 (talk) 22:20, 17 January 2018 (UTC).

I clicked "Publish Changes" accidentally while creating the article, instead of "show preview"; you caught me while I was working. My apologies. Brewer Bob (talk) 19:23, 24 January 2018 (UTC)
