what is the best way to edit the pages? These are not opinions but errors of fact, but because I am an employee of the institution any changes made in normal editing have not been successful. I have tried submitting the first change by the talk page - is this the correct protocol? The page is University of West London UWL Ros (talk) 08:38, 10 May 2016 (UTC)
- Hello, UWL Ros. Yes, that is exactly the correct protocol, but there are two extra points that will help you to get your changes accepted. First, if you add {{edit request}} to your request (with the double curly brackets) it will put it in a list of waiting edits, so it is more likely to be noticed. Secondly, as it stands, any volunteer editor that looks at your request will have to go and look for published sources for the information in order to add it to the article. You can make that easier for them by providing citations in your edit request. (You don't have to format them properly, but again, if you do, you make it easier for them - see referencing for beginners for how to do so). In general, sources independent of the subject are preferred, but for uncontroversial factual information, non-independent sources are acceptable.
- One more, important point: if you are are an employee of the university, you are regarded as a paid editor, and you are required to disclose this, according to WP:PAID. --ColinFine (talk)
