Hello, AndreGallant. 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.
 * 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 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. JamesBWatson (talk) 11:15, 30 April 2013 (UTC)

Huizhou University
Please do not respond to closed topics on the talk page. I closed them for a reason. You are giving 113.67.115.210 a platform for his rants, which is almost as bad as the rants themselves. Think carefully before you respond to him in the future. If he is not suggesting a change to the article, don't respond. TippyGoomba (talk) 02:47, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

AndreGallant, you are invited to the Teahouse
You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for edit warring at Huizhou University. I have blocked the IP editor involved for a much longer period, as there are numerous other problems with his/her editing. However, you need to be careful, particularly in view of your personal connection to the subject, which can be seen as giving you a conflict of interest, and do not edit war even if you are convinced that you are right. You may or may not find WP:Dispute resolution helpful. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

Thank you for trying to keep Wikipedia free of vandalism. However, one or more edits you labeled as vandalism, such as the edit at Huizhou University, are not considered vandalism under Wikipedia policy. Wikipedia has a stricter definition of the word "vandalism" than common usage, and mislabeling edits as vandalism can discourage editors. Please read NOTVAND for more information on what is and is not considered vandalism. Please don't let this escalate into an edit war ► Philg88 ◄ ♦talk 09:11, 28 March 2014 (UTC)
