Conflict of interest

I have reverted your edit to St. Joseph High School (Kenosha, Wisconsin), which added extremely promotional content. Material like "our vibrant preschool program... academically rigorous and student centered... Our school community is a family... " etc. is the school telling the world the story it wants the world to hear, in other words, advertising. That would be fine in the schools' prospectus, but it is not what an encyclopedia is for.

As you wrote "Updated information by school personnel" it seems that you have a Wikipedia:Conflict of interest, and should carefully read that page and the Wikipedia:Plain and simple conflict of interest guide. In brief, you should not edit directly about the school, but may make suggestions on the article talk page for uninvolved users to consider. You are also required by the Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use ("Paid contributions without disclosure" under section 4) to disclose your interest in any edits where you have a COI.

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Bustechteach. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. People with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, see the conflict of interest guideline and frequently asked questions for organizations. In particular, please:

• avoid editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, its competitors, or projects and products you or they are involved with;
• instead, propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
• 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, the Wikimedia Foundation'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.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing, and autobiographies. Thank you. NeilN ^{talk to me} 15:12, 8 October 2015 (UTC)
