Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia.

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. One of the core policies of Wikipedia is that articles should always be written from a neutral point of view. A contribution you made to Parker College of Chiropractic appears to carry a non-neutral point of view, and your edit may have been changed or reverted to correct the problem. Please remember to observe this important core policy. Thank you. Wuh Wuz  Dat  17:37, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

Edit warring
Your content has been removed several times now and you have restored it without any discussion. That's edit warring, which is a blockable offense. Your actions are also bringing disrepute on Parker, which isn't very fair. Please stop. Please read the links in the welcome above. You don't understand the rules for editing here, or the rules for acceptable content. You are also in danger of violating our three-revert rule. You have now been warned and further disruption can result in a block. -- Brangifer (talk) 01:31, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

Help request
(moved to the end; please add new things at the end of talk pages  Chzz  ►  16:15, 1 April 2010 (UTC))

I have been trying to add content to Parker College of Chiropractic. I noticed the content was taken down again and I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Your last note stated there were no sources cited so I will try adding content again with cited sources. Please let me know if I do not do this correctly or if I make a violation as I am not understanding all of the wikipedia rules and regulations. Thank you.


 * When you leave messages, please remember to "sign" your name, by putting ~ (four tilde signs) at the end. This will add your name, and the date and time. You can also do this by clicking the 'sign' button, pictured here.


 * Reviewing the page history helps; it shows that your additions were reverted as possibly WP:SOAPBOX. Please bear with me here - whether you agree or disagree with that opinion, the applicable policy is, Bold, revert, discuss.


 * What that means is - If you want to edit a page, go ahead (as you did). If someone else objects, theymay undo the change. At that point, you should discuss it with them.


 * To do so, please start a section on Talk:Parker College of Chiropractic, and say what you think should change. Then, post a short message on the userpage of the person who undid your changes - that is, User talk:BullRangifer, asking them to 'please see the discussion on Talk:Parker College of Chiropractic - give the some time to respond, and take it from there. It's all about consensus.

 * Leave a message on my own talk page;

I saw the messages listed above the Parker College of Chiropractic article and am trying to help resolve the first two bullets, which are: •	Its neutrality is disputed. Tagged since April 2010. •	It is written like an advertisement and needs to be rewritten from a neutral point of view. Tagged since April 2010.

Do you have any recommendations of how this should be changed or what should be taken out for the article to become neutral as I have read it many times and feel it is very neutral so am not sure what changes need to be made. Also, is there any way the content that is written like an advertisment can be pin pointed or shared with me because I am having a hard time finding what is classified as written like an advertisment. I feel the article is neutral and is written in a journalistic style - telling the facts, but I would like to take the proper actions in order to make the changes needed for it to be more neutral as the bullets are requesting. I am just unsure of what exact phrases, paragraphs or words are raising this flag so that I will know what changes to make. Can you please help me with this?

Thank you for your help and time. It was very useful. I made the recommended changes. Once again, I appreciate it. --Chiropractic Wellness (talk) 15:31, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

I have made numerous changes to this article in order for it to be completely neutral, however I noticed it still has the bullets at the top of the article saying:

Its neutrality is disputed. Tagged since April 2010. It is written like an advertisement and needs to be rewritten from a neutral point of view. Tagged since April 2010.

Can you please help me with getting this taken off of the article as I feel it is very neutral and the tags should be deleted. --Chiropractic Wellness (talk) 15:37, 15 April 2010 (UTC)


 * You could remove the templates yourself, if you had resolved the issues - they are the part right at the top of the article;


 * However, others (including myself) may disagree; I still think it has 'advertisement' problems, and neutrality issues. For example;


 * Numerous services are covered by health insurance policies and are frequently less than the insurance co-payments. - 'numerous' and 'frequently less' are a weasel words, it is inprecise, and as unreferenced it seems promotional


 * The school offers discounted massage therapy services to the public. In addition, relaxation and advanced therapeutic massages are available. - this is pure advert; no reliable source.


 * The whole "Alumni" section is unsourced, and advert-like


 * Same for "Parker SHARE Products"


 * The program prepares the student to contribute to the health and wellness of any client through direct intervention, knowledgeable referral, or wellness advocacy. Parker School of Massage Therapy also offers a medical massage advanced training program that was created to meet the demands of the growing massage and health care industries. The 300 hour advanced training course is a program available to licensed massage therapists only. The program prepares the student for specialized work in a health care facility. - again, very promotional, and only referenced to a directory entry which looks like a primary source - primary sources should only be used for very specific, neutral factual information.

The article should rely on neutral, hard facts - supported by truly independent reliable sources which have a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy.

Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended or used for publicity and/or promotional purposes. Please read the following carefully.

Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, or organization for purposes of promotion and/or publicity. The edits may have violated one or more of our rules on spamming, which include: adding inappropriate external links, posting advertisements, and using Wikipedia for promotion. Wikipedia has many articles on companies, groups, and organizations, but it is considered inappropriate for such groups to use Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.

Probably not. See FAQ/Organization for a helpful list of frequently asked questions by people in your position. Also, review the conflict of interest guidance to see the kinds of limitations you would have to obey if you did want to continue editing about your company, group, or organization. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.
 * Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?

You are still welcome to write about something other than your company or organization. If you do intend to make useful contributions on some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:
 * What can I do now?


 * Add the text below this message box.
 * Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:Listusers to search for available usernames.  Your new username will need to meet our username policy.
 * Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In this reason, you must:
 * Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the edits for which you were blocked.
 * Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

If you believe this block was made in error, please see how to appeal a block. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  19:53, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
