Do you have a connection to Lake Superior State University‎? ElKevbo (talk) 04:16, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. The page is pretty outdated in many areas - will need some additional work. Laker49783 (talk) 04:38, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Laker49783. 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, 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. ElKevbo (talk) 11:17, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for sharing this as I am not an experienced Wikipedia editor. I am affiliated with Lake Superior State University but am not being compensated for any contributions and did not make edits as part of any official role. I was attempting to correct out of date and erroneous information. I will propose further edits on the talk page according to the policy. If any of the previous edits I made are not consistent with Wikipedia standards or are otherwise inappropriate, feel free to make corrections etc. as I was unaware of the relevant policies.
