Hello, AndyUWSP. 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 University of Wisconsin–Stevens Point, you may have a conflict of interest.

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.

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. -- Orange Mike &#x007C;  Talk  21:18, 2 June 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Orangemike. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to University of Wisconsin–Stevens Point seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. -- Orange Mike &#x007C;  Talk  21:18, 2 June 2014 (UTC)

June 2014 - final warning
You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy by inserting commentary or your personal analysis into an article, as you did at University of Wisconsin–Stevens Point. -- Orange Mike &#x007C;  Talk  02:05, 10 June 2014 (UTC)

Mike, with all do respect, I think your assertion is uninformed and a little silly. I represent UW-Stevens Point as its online content coordinator. One of my tasks has been to evaluate our Wikipedia page and come up with a plan for it. With so much outdated information being on the page, I'd think you could appreciate someone with first-hand knowledge of the university updating the page. I'd be happy to discuss this issue with you more, but if you actually read what I've contributed, I think you'll agree that what I've added so far has been factual and forthcoming. If you have any questions for me, please let me know. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 143.236.68.118 (talk) 12:49, 10 June 2014 (UTC)
 * You don't seem to understand how to participate, as a person with a blatant and admitted conflict of interest. You finally stepped over the line completely by whitewashing the Bunnell censure coverage. -- Orange Mike &#x007C;  Talk  23:26, 10 June 2014 (UTC)
