Your username[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. I saw that you edited or created Evanston Township High School, and I noticed that your username, "ETHSCommunications", 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 "Trammel Museum of Art". However, you are invited to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you personally, such as "Mark at WidgetsUSA", "Jack Smith at the XY Foundation", and "WidgetFan87".

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. Moreover, I recommend that you read our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please create a new account or request a change of username, by completing this form, 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. 331dot (talk) 14:12, 14 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest[edit]

Information icon Hello, ETHSCommunications. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the article Evanston Township High School, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, please:

  • avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your circle, your organization, its competitors, projects or products;
  • instead propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
  • when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
  • avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or 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 for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. 331dot (talk) 14:36, 14 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]


Thanks for changing your username; note that doing so does not remove the conflict of interest you seem to have. Future significant changes to the page about your school should be discussed with the community on the article talk page before proceeding. Please review the above post about conflict of interest for more information; if you have any questions, please post them here.

I would suggest that you not post "our" in the article as that is unencyclopedic. 331dot (talk) 15:15, 14 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
