Warning

edit

  Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Hutchinson Community College, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Thank you.

  • All of your new text is missing citation references, thus is why I added this banner. Please add references.
  • The history section is first. See KU and WSU articles for examples.

Managing a conflict of interest

edit

  Hello, Hutchcc. 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 Hutchinson Community 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:

  • Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
  • Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
  • Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies. Note that Wikipedia's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.

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. Corky | Chat? 20:31, 24 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

I work for the college AND am very familiar with both Wikipedia's policies regarding Conflict of Interest and Neutral Point of View. Thank you for your concern.Hutchcc (talk) 20:46, 24 March 2015 (UTC)Reply

  Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Hutchcc", 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, service, 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 individually, 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, service, 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 the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, 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.

Finally, stop editing your employer's article; it's an undeniable conflict of interest. ElKevbo (talk) 15:15, 16 January 2020 (UTC)Reply
