Your username and Azusa Pacific University
Thanks for fixing up that wrong detail in the University's article, but you're going to have to change your username if you want to edit any more, especially if that's the article you're going to be editing. See the policy at WP:GROUPNAME. You haven't done anything wrong, and your edits were obviously helpful and welcome, but it's just not allowed to have usernames implying that they're used by a group of people editing on behalf of an organization. The link I gave you will tell you how to request a username change if you'd like to, or feel free to ask me questions.&mdash; alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 18:10, 10 April 2014 (UTC)

Hello, APUpublicrelations. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

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.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see 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. Note that Wikipedia'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.

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. ElKevbo (talk) 19:24, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
