Hello, TPenby. We welcome your contributions but you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia and you have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for article subjects for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to 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 Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. ElKevbo (talk) 03:53, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi ElKevbo! So sorry for breaking rules. I didn't know I couldn't edit factual errors. I'll follow the changes you recommend regarding asking others to edit my school's page via the talk pages.

Please note that in my very first edit I did disclose my employee status for the community college whose page I was attempting to bring current.

I appreciate your guidance and I'll read the rules before making any further edits. TPenby (talk) 21:08, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
