Hello, Davidhar, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.
I notice that one of the first articles you edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.
To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or any other editor to proofread it. To start creating a draft article, just click your user name at the top of the screen when you are logged in, and edit that page as you would any other. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.
The one firm rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. It is also worth noting that Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which specifically link them to one company or corporation. If your username does have such a name, it would be advisable for you to request a change of username.
If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the
New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! You can also just type {{
helpme}}
on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Mt king (edits) 19:26, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
Can you please declare what, if any connection you have to University at Buffalo, The State University of New York ? Mt king (edits) 19:40, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
None, why?
I've taken pictures for UB, I don't see that as a conflict of interest.
Why do you need to know these things? I don't have to reveal any personal information if I don't want to.
Hello, I'm Hjarvis. I work in UB's marketing office, and can authoritatively state that "Buffalo University" is not our name [1], nor does it show up commonly (if ever) in search returns or in casual conversation. There are many colleges and universities in Buffalo and that name just doesn't make any sense. Not trying to provoke or prolong an edit war, but I am also puzzled why anyone ever suggested it belonged on the page. Please help keep it off the page -- it's just wrong. Thanks!

Please do not waste your time and ours uploading images with incompatible licences. As to buildings: go out and take your own photographs and upload them to the Commons. — RHaworth ( talk · contribs) 18:34, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
I actually have taken my own photos and have, in fact, placed them onto the page. They were taken off and deleted by Mtking for no apparent reason. And this time, it was a mistake. I thought all rights reserved meant that I can put them up. Simple misunderstanding. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Davidhar ( talk • contribs) 22:07, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
I'm actually not talking about those. I took pictures that were clearly MINE and placed them on the page in May of 2011. You not only took them off the page, but you deleted them without reason.
I have restored the long-standing seal, as this change will result in the file File:University at Buffalo The State University of New York seal.png probably being deleted as an orphan fair use, this change needs to be agreed at the talk page. Mt king (edits) 22:21, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an
edit war according to the reverts you have made on
University at Buffalo, The State University of New York. 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.
Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's
talk page to discuss controversial changes; 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.
You are edit warring over this, there is an ongoing talk page discussion about it, Please revert your last change.

A tag has been placed on File:University at buffalo crest.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

The addition of the the crest as a stand alone image should be reverted, as it fails two parts of the WP:NFCC ( 3a, and 8. Please revert it and discuss it at the talk page. Mt king (edits) 21:22, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
As you have a WP:COI with respect to University at Buffalo, The State University of New York, can you please propose any changes you wish to make, including adding any images, at the talk page first so it can be discussed before the change happens. Mt king (edits) 21:34, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:Official UB crest.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

I noticed you created this article a few days ago; however it does not as yet appear to address the Wikipedia:College and university article guidelines, specifically how is it "especially notable or significant"; because if it is not, it should not have it's own article. Please try and avoid the WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS arguments for why it should have it's own article. Mt king (edits) 23:59, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article University at Buffalo College of Arts & Sciences is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/University at Buffalo College of Arts & Sciences until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Mt king (edits) 04:01, 23 December 2011 (UTC)
Hi, Davidhar, I merged the deleted article into the main article so all of that material would be preserved. My suggestion is that you familiarize yourself with the rules of notability and using references that establish notability. See here: Notability.
You are obviously under the microscope now so your best bet is to strictly adhere to the standards and if you need assistance you should ask for someone (more experienced than I am) to mentor or assist you. You can always ask for assistance here: Administrator's Noticeboard.

User: Anna_Frodesiak
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:DragonflySixtyseven
I thought it might help, if I gave you some pointers to the types of sources that would be required to demonstrate that the School of Management meets the criteria for it's own article.
First they need to be from a independent source, so that would not be anything from :
Secondly they need to be from reliable sources, sources know for there accuracy, for example Blogs and other self published works would not be considered reliable.
Finally the sources need to demonstrate " Significant coverage" that is the sources address the subject directly in detail, this is more than a trivial mention but it need not be the main topic of the source material. So sources relating to ranking tables are not likely to cover this point.
Hope this helps.

Your recent edits both on the University's wikipedia and on William Greiner's suggests a conflict of interest and I would advise to not edit wikipedia pages with respect to Bill Greiner if this is the case (per WP codes).

Hello, Davidhar. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest.
All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.
If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:
Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.
For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you.

A tag has been placed on Allan Gerson requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from https://web.archive.org/web/20120419151450/http://www.ag-il.com/allan.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion".

However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Stefan2 ( talk) 00:59, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), such as at Talk:University of Toronto, please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:
This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thanks again for starting the merge of campuses. I'm not up to the job, but I totally agree it's worth doing. It would need a plan, and I'd hate to see someone's hard work get deleted by some other editor who complained because there wasn't consensus from the start. I'd try the university work group on the article's talk page. Someone there may have good advise. Cheers. Magnolia677 ( talk) 19:34, 25 January 2015 (UTC)
Why are you removing any mention of other names currently used, names formerly used, or abbreviations used in the very article you are editing? In your most recent edit, you removed this sentence: "It is commonly referred to as the University at Buffalo (abbreviated UB) and was formerly known as the University of Buffalo." Not only does that remove an abbreviation used throughout the university's documents, other reliable sources, and the article itself but it also removes a historical name that is detailed in the article. More confusing is that you removed that sentence while using the edit summary "the 'University at Buffalo' name is still commonly used, bring it up in the talk if you still have issue. You're promoting an edit war." which is exactly what the sentence says!
Please explain your bizarre insistence that the article lead not have the commonly used name, formerly used name, and abbreviation in the lead like every other article does. And explain why you're making edits that directly contradict your own statements. ElKevbo ( talk) 16:24, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
Ok, someone's adding more common names again for UB. They wrote that "Other names like 'Buffalo University', 'UBuffalo' and 'UBuff' are also commonly seen." This is not true. "University OF Buffalo" is mistakenly used... that's the only common name. We DO use a hash tag of UBuffalo... but not in normal human speech. Since Buffalo has several universities, 'Buffalo University' is NOT misapplied, and I have never heard anyone refer to UBuff. Someone is making those up. Can you help..? Or advise what else we can do to reign this nonsense in..? Thanks. Hjarvis ( talk) 15:03, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
The article Pete Augustine has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.
If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{ prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. Wgolf ( talk) 03:08, 11 April 2015 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Mindy Lubber, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Ceres and Nike. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi, I'm Ubiquity. SustainaBro2017, thanks for creating Toby Heaps!
I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Is there no coverage on Heaps in the mainstream press?
The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse. ubiquity ( talk) 18:17, 14 September 2016 (UTC)

The file File:Outer shot of Crosby hall on the University at Buffalo's south campus.png has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Unused image, significantly higher quality JPG version exists at c:File:Campus green and crosby hall.jpg
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the file's talk page.
Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
files for discussion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion. --
