  Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Press Officer 2", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it appears to represent a position rather than a person. Shared user accounts are not allowed. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username by completing this form, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. shoy (reactions) 14:20, 1 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

Managing a conflict of interest

edit

  Hello, Press Officer 2. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

  • avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
  • propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
  • disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
  • avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
  • do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. shoy (reactions) 14:21, 1 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

There were a number of facts that needed and still need updating on the page that I was correcting. I studied there as a student some years ago and when researching the university noticed the wikipedia page was quite out of date, I therefore decided to correct some of the errors. I hope you can see that I was only supporting the validity of the page rather than vandalising it.
