There are sanctions available on Wikipedia for people who misuse multiple accounts and IP addresses in order to escape censure for 'edit warring'. Perhaps the appearance of this approach in your edits of the University of Manchester page was the result of mere accident, but you should be aware that this can be construed as an abuse of editing privileges: Wikipedia:Sockpuppetry.

Hello, Dr.AndrewBamford. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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 Wikipedia: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. Longhair\^talk 09:54, 29 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have raised the unsuitability of the present duality of 'academic' and 'administrative' staff wording in the university infobox here: Template talk:Infobox university. Any argument in support of more accurate categories for university staff numbers would be useful in trying to get uniformity across articles. Urselius (talk) 21:01, 31 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in Greater Manchester, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Please read MOS:BOLD for use of bold font in Wikipedia articles.  Dr Greg  talk  13:42, 8 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Editors are expected to treat each other with respect and civility. On this encyclopedia project, editors assume good faith while interacting with other editors. Here is Wikipedia's welcome page, and it is hoped that you will assume the good faith of other editors and continue to help us improve Wikipedia! this is nonsense: "Restored rankings following an attempt to omit notable rankings, presumably for personal gain" Spike 'em (talk) 14:05, 23 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You are also edit-warring on UK University rankings : discuss your changes rather than just repeating them after multiple other editors have reverted you. Spike 'em (talk) 14:07, 23 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
