Managing a conflict of interest

[edit]

Information icon Hello, IMCteam. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article Harrisburg Area Community College, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:

  • avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
  • instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
  • when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
  • avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
  • exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. Toohool (talk) 17:50, 30 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Your username

[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "IMCteam", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because The word "team" in your username implies that it is a shared account, which is not allowed. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username by completing this form, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. Toohool (talk) 17:52, 30 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Bare URLs in HACC article

[edit]

Thank you for making updates to Harrisburg Area Community College. I suggest you take some time to learn how to structure citations properly in Wikipedia articles, as your edits violated an important Wikipedia standard: "do not add bare URLs to articles - always create full citations with title, author, date, publisher, etc." (see Wikipedia:Bare_URLs). In the meantime, I have tagged the article with a tag to alert readers and other Wikipedia editors to the issue. -- DanielKlotz (talk · contribs) 01:10, 8 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Upon further review, the edits were so extreme and so promotional in nature (going so far as to remove all citations of third-party sources) that I reverted all of them. Please familiarize yourself with Wikipedia and how it works before making further direct edits to the article. The [Started] page will be a good starting point. Also feel welcome to suggest changes on the article's Talk page which other editors will then consider. Thank you. -- DanielKlotz (talk · contribs) 01:35, 8 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
