Your username[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. I saw that you edited or created Everett Community College, and I noticed that your username, "Everett Community College", 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 (not your role), such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87", but not "SEO Manager at XYZ Company".

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. Alternatively, you can just create a new account and use that for editing. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you.

Thanks! I have changed my username. I'm trying to correct factual errors and add information. How would you recommend I do so? Everett Community College (talk) 00:46, 9 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I guess my username request hasn't been approved yet. I'll check back tomorrow. Everett Community College (talk) 00:46, 9 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If you are an employee of the community college, please suggest changes on the talk page with appropriate sources (preferably those independent from the college), per our conflict of interest policy. An editor will then review them and make the changes that conform with the neutral point of view policy. Sounder Bruce 01:08, 9 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate the guidance, thank you. I am an employee of the college. I can add sources for accreditation, but I'm not sure how to cite that the college's colors are red and white. (It's in the body of the article, but I wanted to add it in the little box, too.)

The other changes I made that got rejected are:

- I tried to change "In the past 10 years" to "Since 2007" because that is more accurate.

- I removed the East County Campus location, which doesn't exist anymore.

- I tried to remove the number of students and academic staff because the students number is from 2016-17 and no longer accurate, and I have no idea where the number of academic staff came from, as it's not accurate either. I don't know of anyplace to cite that information other than the college website.

Any suggestions? Thank you! Jenny at Everett Community College (talk) 16:49, 9 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
