Information icon Hello, Pulaskitech. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Pulaski Technical College, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

  • Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
  • Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
  • Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies. Note that Wikipedia's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.

Neutral point of view

[edit]

Hi -- thanks for following up. I see that there have definitely been some problems with the editing of the Pulaski Technical College article in the past. However, I wouldn't agree that it's vandalism. Some editors have been adding claims that don't seem to come from a neutral point of view, and that's definitely a problem. On the other hand, you have been removing relevant statements from the article that appear to be well-sourced without explaining why, and that's also a problem. Combined with a username that suggests that you're affiliated with Pulaski Tech somehow, it makes it look as if Pulaski Tech is trying to cover up material they don't like. I strongly recommend that you do the following:

  • Stop using the Pulaskitech account or anything like it; it's a violation of the Wikipedia:Username policy.
  • Create a new account just for yourself. It can be your real name, or a nickname, as long as it doesn't look like you're speaking for the school.
  • Explain your affiliation with Pulaski Tech clearly on your user page.

From there, we can proceed to figure out how best to solve the current problems on the Pulaski Technical College article. —Tim Pierce (talk) 23:02, 15 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
