Hello, I'm ProClasher97. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. ProClasher97 ~ Have A Question? 07:56, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This is the University's own self-description, mission statement and the like. I cannot think of a better source. I work in the International Relations Office at UBU so I am authorized to make these edits by the university. Can you make a suggestion as I am new to Wikipedia as an editor.

Hello. The content of Wikipedia articles are paraphrased summaries of material previously published by reliable, third-party sources. Sources affiliated with the subject are primary sources and can only be used for limited purposes - very basic facts and figures, but little else.

Articles must be written from a neutral point of view. Therefore, subjective wording such as "striving for academic excellence" and "blends pleasant surroundings" is not acceptable, and is considered to be promotional.

Since you are employed by the Ubon Ratchathani University, you have a conflict of interest. Please review our conflict of interest guide and more importantly, our mandatory policy on disclosure of paid editing.

The subject of an article does not have any right of ownership or control over its contents. As an editor with a conflict of interest, you should learn the procedure to make edit requests, and limit your involvement with this article to making edit requests on the article talk page. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 14:49, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
