Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia! Your recent edits to Wilmington College (Delaware) were reverted, because they were self-referential and read like promotional material. Articles about educational institutions are fine, but they they must be about the institution itself, not a recruiting poster for potential students ;) See WP:NOT for guidelines on what is/is not considered acceptable material in an article.

For a useful model, take a look at the Plano Senior High School featured article. If necessary, copy/paste and adapt the sections (I've used that trick myself many times!). For references, anything verifiable written by someone not associated with the college would do - local newspapers can be a good resource.

Hope this helps ;) EyeSerene^TALK 20:25, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Continued advertising

I noticed you have replaced the content I removed, and are continuing to add promotional material to Wilmington College (Delaware). Please re-read the advice above: sentences like "We are especially committed to caring for our students as customers and partners" have no place in an encyclopedia. This article, as it stands, is fast becoming a prime candidate for deletion. Please consider rewriting the article from a neutral point of view, stating only verifiable facts, providing sources for those facts, and sticking to encyclopedic material only. Any questions, leave a note on my talk page and I'll try to help out. EyeSerene^TALK 20:58, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
