Welcome to Wikipedia. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article St. Paul's College, Sydney, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should 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;
- participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
- linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
Please familiarize yourself with relevant 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.--220.101.28.25 (talk) 08:44, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
- This is reasonable advice, but why doesn't this anon. user edit under their username? Do not be discouraged from editing the St Paul's College article: it needs much work, and you seem to be well-placed to do it. It's on my watchlist. Tony (talk) 09:04, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
Hi Alan, almost all your changes and additions to the St Paul's article don't have citations. You even have changed information that has an existing citation, without changing that citation. Is it still valid? I don't know. Where are you getting your information from? Other editors can help you with the citations if necessary, but we need to know the source. If the content in the article remains uncited for much longer editors will begin to remove it. See WP:CITE and WP:VERIFY. Cheers, Donama (talk) 01:52, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
