I've reverted your change to the Lethbridge rating - see my reasoning. Mindmatrix 22:12, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Re: Lethbridge College

I added the "not to be confused with University of Lethbridge" hatnote to the top of Lethbridge College because both institutions are in the same town, Lethbridge, Alberta, and share a similar name. Someone unfamiliar with the schools or the area (like me) might be looking for a college or university named "Lethbridge" that is in Lethbridge unaware that there are two (in the United States there is no established difference between terms "college" and "university"). If you disagree, please let me know why. -Mabeenot (talk) 22:10, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

The only thing similar about their names is the word “Lethbridge”. In Canada, where these two institutions are located, there is an established difference. Lethbridge College doesn’t even offer degrees. I feel that such a practice could lead down a slippery slope, especially given the American usage. After all, it wouldn’t make sense to create college redirects for every US university article, and university redirects for every US college. --Kmsiever (talk) 03:46, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

Fair enough. You're more familiar with Canadian higher education. In response to your slippery slope comment, we already have redirects and disambiguation pages that mix universities and colleges in the United States (for examples, see the hatnotes for Boston University and Trinity University (Texas)). -Mabeenot (talk) 05:44, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Kmsiever! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 2 of the articles that you created are Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. Please note that all biographies of living persons must be sourced. If you were to add reliable, secondary sources to these articles, it would greatly help us with the current 942 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

1. Jim Unger - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
2. Stacy Roest - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Karanacs (talk) 03:41, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Cool. Thanks! --Kmsiever (talk) 15:50, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

ARCHES

Hello, why did you remove contents related to their hiring of relatives in Special:Diff/996891573 even though it is properly sourced? "A senior executive’s family member was hired, earning $9,900. The auditors could not locate a resume or personnel file to verify any qualifications." "Proper personal conflict of interest declarations were not recorded when related individuals or vendors were hired or utilized." Graywalls (talk) 09:06, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

Because it had nothing to do with the $13,000 in interest income earned on SCS funding, which is what the sentence was implying. —Kmsiever (talk) 16:43, 31 December 2020 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Kmsiever. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Draft:Kim Siever, 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 or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} 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 WP:Spam);
• 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. Dan arndt (talk) 03:23, 15 February 2021 (UTC)

Thanks, Dan, for reaching out. I was afraid this might end up being the case, even though I tried to be strict about following notability and citation guidelines while creating the sandbox article. While reading through the COI guidelines you linked to (thank you, by the way), I noticed that editors with COI can use the AfC process for such articles. Do you think the article I submitted for review could be a candidate for AfC? Kmsiever (talk) 03:33, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
