Boston University
Hello there, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed the edits you made to the introduction of the Boston University article. These edits are problematic for several reasons. First of all, it seemed to me and another editor that the original version of the introduction was more informational and concise. Your version seemed to contain effusive praise for Boston University. I don't have a problem with praising Boston University, since I'm a student there myself, but this is not the proper tone for a Wikipedia article. At Wikipedia, we have a policy that all articles must be written from a neutral point of view. You may view the policy here. Your changes to the introduction on the BU article conflict with this policy, and thus the article was changed back to the previous version. This is not an indictment against you, and should not be taken personally. I hope that you feel welcome here and find other ways to contribute to the encyclopedia. Please feel free to leave a message on my talk page here if you have any questions about this situation or Wikipedia in general. Thanks, Alhutch 17:26, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
