If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Ithaca College, 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 from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, 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 conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Thank you. Teapotgeorge^Talk 14:18, 10 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for pointing that out. I'm a new Wikipedia, and was unaware of the guidelines. See my discussion of the neutrality issue on the talk page of the topic. IthacaCollege (talk) 14:53, 10 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

All that aside, we would prefer that you change your username not only because of the implied conflict of interest but because it suggests a role account, which we strongly discourage. Daniel Case (talk) 16:24, 10 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind; seems like you're already aware of this. Daniel Case (talk) 16:25, 10 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
