Hello everyone

I am employed by Global University Systems (GUS) - the company that owns GISMA. I would like to extend a hand to the Wikipedia community in an effort to help improve this page and ensure that relevant, noteworthy and correct (sourced) information is present. My Conflict of Interest is that I am an employee of GUS - I seek to be fully compliant with the COI policies and hope to work with all editors for the improvement of the page. Following making my edit suggestions - I shall declare my COI on the WP:COIN page.

The edit I am requesting is for the addition of a link from this page to the GISMA Business School page: http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/GISMA_Business_School

I am requesting this as I feel it is relevant to the page owing to Ms Spanberger having studied at the school whilst living in Germany. This thus helps to improve the article - much as it has with the link to Purdue University.

I appreciate all guidance and feedback.

With thanks - MrAttempt (talk) 12:38, 18 July 2018 (UTC)

Done. I have also clarified the programme she was in. It was not a "dual degree" from GISMA and Purdue's Krannert School of Management. GISMA does not have and never did have degree-awarding powers in Germany. Voceditenore (talk) 13:16, 18 July 2018 (UTC)

My conflict of interest

I suppose I should also note my COI. I am a member of Liberal Women of Chesterfield County and wrote the article about that group. We are activists supporting Abigail Spanberger in her Virginia 7th Congressional District Democratic opposition to the incumbent Republican candidate Dave Brat. I began the article because I was dismayed that there was not already a separate article about her. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mitzi.humphrey (talkcontribs) 12:25, 22 October 2018 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Abigail Spanberger

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Abigail Spanberger's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "VA-RESULTS":

  • From Dave Brat: "Official Results". 2018 November General. Virginia Department of Elections. November 9, 2018. Archived from the original on November 8, 2018. Retrieved November 11, 2018. {{cite web}}: Cite has empty unknown parameter: |coauthors= (help); Unknown parameter |dead-url= ignored (|url-status= suggested) (help)
  • From Jennifer Wexton: "Official Results". 2018 November General. Virginia Department of Elections. November 9, 2018. Retrieved November 11, 2018. {{cite web}}: Cite has empty unknown parameter: |coauthors= (help)

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT 22:41, 2 August 2019 (UTC)

SPA edits

I removed a number of changes by a recently created SPA. I removed changes that were poorly sourced, poorly worded, editorialized and WP:SYNTH, and kept the content that wasn't. If the SPA wants to add the content, they need to seek consensus for it here. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 02:27, 18 May 2020 (UTC)
