Contributors may use copyrighted publications as a source of information, and, if allowed under fair use, may copy sentences and phrases, provided they are included in quotation marks and referenced properly. The material may also be rewritten, providing it does not infringe on the copyright of the original or plagiarize from that source. Therefore, such paraphrased portions must provide their source.

thread_title:  Copyright problem removed 

message: At least one major contributor to this article appears to have a close personal or professional connection to the topic, and thus to have a conflict of interest. Conflict-of-interest editors are strongly discouraged from editing the article directly, but are always welcome to propose changes on the talk page (i.e., here). You can attract the attention of other editors by putting  (exactly so, with the curly parentheses) at the beginning of your request, or by clicking the link on the lowest yellow notice above. Requests that are not supported by independent reliable sources are unlikely to be accepted. 
Please also note that our Terms of Use state that "you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation." An editor who contributes as part of his or her paid employment is required to disclose that fact.  Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 12:53, 1 February 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Conflict of interest 

message: My name is Brian Harr and I'm the new Director of Communications at The Master's University.
Our University page on Wikipedia was being edited a couple months back by outside parties and someone from the university who didn't understand the Conflict of Interest rules at Wikipedia was correcting things they felt were edited in error or things that should have been said in a more fair manner. It appears that because the person correcting the errors was from the University that caused the maintenance template to appear at the top of our page, indicating self-pulbished sources. (For the record that person has been instructed to not edit this page any further)
I have vetted the page and all of the information is accurate.
I would like to request the template message be removed.
I do plan to suggest updates for the page but will do that with a new "Talk" section.
Thank you very much,
Brian Harr beeharr

replies: text: The self-published sources template has been at the top of the article since February of 2017. Its addition and presence in the article has nothing to do with the fact that someone from the university was editing despite a conflict of interest. The person who added the template felt that article relied too heavily on information gained from the university's website, which is a self-published source.  Our sourcing guideliens say that such sources can be used as sources about themselves so long as (among other things), "The article is not based primarily on such sources."  Although 4 of the 16 sources currently cited in the article are from the university's website, they are all in one small section describing what degrees the university offers.  The rest of the article is based on other sources.  Therefore I'm removing it. ~ ONUnicorn(Talk|Contribs)problem solving 19:50, 16 November 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Maintenance template removal 

message: There is no explanation for the fact that the school was put on probation for two whole years. From what I've heard, the reasons were serious. 47.138.88.67 (talk) 07:24, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the suggestion. I have a brief, sourced explanation of the probation. Jno.skinner (talk) 00:48, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

replies: text: Master's University →  – the page was moved by  with edit summary "Make shorter (WP:CONCISE, WP:PRECISE)"; however the school is almost exclusively referred to as "The Master's University", not "Master's University" Joeykai (talk) 23:33, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

text: Weak Support - WP:THE indicates we should use it IF it's well-sourced and the primary way it's referred to. This page has very few external sources, do we have evidence this is the common name outside of internal releases? glman (talk) 13:18, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

text: Weak Support I echo the arguments of Glman. I have read external sources which call this "The Master's University" in passing as well as some articles critical of TMU using the. They're not the best examples, but they come from reliable places. (Christianity Today, The Roys Report) ❤HistoryTheorist❤ 23:45, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

text: Support — original move seems like a clear mistake to me, also anecdotally the one local I know calls it "TMU" or preserves the leading "The". Krinn DNZ (talk) 21:39, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
