Re. your edits at Mont Rose College of Management and Sciences
[edit]Hey there. I see you've been putting considerable effort into improving this page. Unfortunately, some of your edits have been reverted by myself and other editors. This has happened for a number of related reasons:
- Portions of the content you've added read like a press release or newspaper article. Wikipedia is not a newspaper, and is not written like one.
- The selection of quotations from various figures who have praised the school comes off as an attempt to promote it or otherwise portray it in a positive light. Wikipedia is written from a neutral point of view; a list of positive quotations generally doesn't belong in an article without some greater context. It would be more appropriate to use the source(s) in which these quotations appear as references, to support a statement that (e.g) the school has received praise from various local figures.
- Much of the information you've added in the text would be better presented in the infobox. For example, the motto in the infobox doesn't match the one you've added. You could replace the motto in the infobox and cite the appropriate page from the school's website to support that change.
I hope this clears things up for you. If you have any questions or would like input from other editors, you might try the article's talk page or the Teahouse, a forum for questions from newer editors. dalahäst (let's talk!) 15:45, 15 September 2017 (UTC)
USERNAME, paid editing and conflict of interest in Wikipedia
[edit]Hi MRC123456 I work on conflict of interest issues here in Wikipedia, along with my regular editing. Your edits to date along with your username (which appears to be what we call a "corporate account") make it appear that you are working for Mont Rose College of Management and Sciences. I'm giving you notice of our Username policy, PAID editing policy, and eonflict of Interest guideline and Terms of Use, and will have some comments and requests for you below.
- 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 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 which forms all or part of work 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.
- Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you.
- Your username, "MRC123456", may not comply with our username policy. Please note that you may not use a username that represents the name of a company, group, organization, product, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Foobar Museum of Art". However, you are permitted to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you personally, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87".
- Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people, and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, or website, regardless of your username. Please also read our paid editing policy and our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please request a change of username, by completing this form, choosing a username that complies with our username policy. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you.
Comments and requests
[edit]Wikipedia is a widely-used reference work and managing conflict of interest is essential for ensuring the integrity of Wikipedia and retaining the public's trust in it. As in academia, COI is managed here in two steps - disclosure and a form of peer review. Please note that there is no bar to being part of the Wikipedia community if you want to be involved in articles where you have a conflict of interest; there are just some things we ask you to do (and if you are paid, some things you need to do).
Disclosure is the most important, and first, step. While I am not asking you to disclose your identity (anonymity is strictly protecting by our WP:OUTING policy) would you please disclose if you have some connection with Mont Rose College of Management and Sciences, directly or through a third party (e.g. a PR agency or the like)? You can answer how ever you wish (giving personally identifying information or not), but if there is a connection, please disclose it. After you respond (and you can just reply below), I can walk you through how the "peer review" part happens and then, if you like, I can provide you with some more general orientation as to how this place works. Please reply here, just below, to keep the discussion in one place. Thanks! Jytdog (talk) 21:14, 15 September 2017 (UTC)
