[edit] Hello, I'm JadeGuardian. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions to Hyles–Anderson College because it didn't appear constructive. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! JadeGuardian (talk) 21:05, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that the username you have chosen, "FBCMedia", seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of something other than yourself. Please note that you may not edit on behalf of a company, group, institution, product, or website, and Wikipedia does not allow usernames that are promotional or accounts that are shared. If you are willing to use a personal account, please take a moment to create a new account or request a username change that represents only yourself as an individual. You should also read our Conflict of interest guideline and Plain and simple conflict of interest guide, and remember that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. ElKevbo (talk) 21:21, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi Joshua Correa! Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. |
Hello, Joshua Correa. 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 Hyles–Anderson 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:
- You need not declare your conflict of interest, but we recommend it.
- Do not edit articles about yourself, your organization, or your competitors. Do not edit related articles. (Exceptions.)
- Post suggestions and sources on the article's talk page, or create a draft in your user space.
- Your role is to summarize, inform and reference — not to promote, sell, or whitewash.
- If writing a draft, write without bias, as if you don't work for the company or personally know the subject.
- Have us review your draft.
- Work with us and we'll work with you.
Please familiarize yourself with relevant content 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. Theroadislong (talk) 19:34, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
