Conflict of interest?

Welcome to Wikipedia. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article User:Afeducationuser/AETC Collaboration Portal, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should 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;
participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. --Orange Mike | Talk 15:49, 15 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think the issue is that your username gives the very strong impression that you are affiliated in some way with the portal and that would give you a COI. If you are not so affiliated then you don't have a COI. However, the principal inclusion criterion for Wikipedia is notability not "merely show the Air Force education/training capabilities" or that you "have used the ACP web site before and find that it would be beneficial for others to understand how training is evolving." – ukexpat (talk) 17:25, 15 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
