Welcome!

Hello, PCC1924, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I notice that one of the first articles you edited was Pasadena City College, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or any other editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One firm rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• The plain and simple conflict of interest guide
• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Tutorial
• How to edit a page and How to develop articles
• How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
• Simplified Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{help me}} before the question. Again, welcome!

March 2013

Hello, I'm Cindamuse. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Pasadena City College without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry: I restored the removed content. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! Cindy(need help?) 13:18, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

Saturday, fifth reversion by you

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you.

Pasadena City College

It is abundantly clear that due to the conflict of interest, you are unable to objectively edit the above noted article. As a representative of the college, I highly recommend that you refrain from editing the article and focus on making suggestions for changes on the article's talk page. Please understand that the encyclopedia article is not a web host of content for the organization. Unfortunately, negative content will be reflected in the article. It is highly inappropriate for you to continue blanking content merely because you don't like the negative nature reflected on the college. While the edit summary is appreciated, the rationale for blanking the content is not a valid reason for removing the section. While I understand your frustration, blanking content is not the answer. According to your edit summary, you feel that the article is out of date, incomplete and inaccurate. Please use the talk page to discuss these concerns. While it is your viewpoint that the "protest" section politicizes the article, understand that this is merely your personal opinion. This content is sourced appropriately. You have stated that the article lacks information about the school's veteran's center and awards received. I'm not sure how this relates to blanking of content, but by all means, if you have additional content to add to the article, please use the talk page to suggest the addition of this content, along with reliable and independent sources. If you have questions, please feel free to contact me. Cindy(need help?) 19:33, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

Notice of Conflict of interest noticeboard discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard regarding a possible conflict of interest incident in which you may be involved. Thank you. Cindy(need help?) 19:42, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

This is your last warning. The next time you remove or blank page content or templates from Wikipedia, as you did at Pasadena City College, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Cindy(need help?) 22:45, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

Conflict of Interest

Hello, PCC1924. 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 Pasadena City College, you should consider our guidance on Conflicts of interest and take a look at the Plain and simple conflict of interest guide.

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.
• Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
• 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.

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. --Guy Macon (talk) 00:25, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

Username

Welcome to Wikipedia. I saw that you edited or created Pasadena City College, and I noticed that the username you have chosen, "PCC1924", seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of something other than yourself. Please note that you may not edit on behalf of a company, group, institution, product, or website, and Wikipedia does not allow usernames that are promotional or accounts that are shared. If you are willing to use a personal account, please take a moment to create a new account or request a username change that represents only yourself as an individual. You should also read our Conflict of interest guideline and Plain and simple conflict of interest guide, and remember that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. --Drm310 (talk) 15:23, 24 March 2013 (UTC)
