- If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
- Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
- When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
- If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.

Hello, I'm
Cassiopeia. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of
your recent contributions—specifically
this edit to
École polytechnique universitaire de Clermont-Auvergne—because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the
sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the
Teahouse or the
Help desk. Thanks.

- Hi Cassiopeia, thank you for reviewing. I changed the name because the title in the box said (name in english), that's why I found it more suitable to use our commercial name we use generally (Polytech Clermont). Just so I can learn, what do you mean with 'does not appear constructive'? Many thanks and have a great day, Raph Raph7463 ( talk) 06:17, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Raph7463, Good day and thank you for the message. First of all, you have confict of interest since you have association with the subject. Secondly, the change the article name. If you want to change the name, you need to provide independent, reliable source indicate the name has been change and you need to ask uninvolved editor to help you do that in the article talk page.

conflict of interest guideline and
FAQ for article subjects for more information. We ask that you:

- propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{ edit COI}} template)—don't forget to give details of reliable sources supporting your suggestions;
- disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
