Your edits to Multnomah University
Hi, I have twice reverted you addition of David Guthrie to the list of notable alumni. If you click on the link for David Guthrie, you will see that it links to a politician from New Zealand. People should only be added to "notables" lists if they are indeed notable by Wikipedia standards. You can see WP:BIO for more specific criteria for the notability of people. If the David Guthrie who produces the Christian children's musicals is indeed notable enough for an article, it will need to be named David Guthrie (producer) or whatever qualifier (the part in parentheses) best defines him. You can see WP:QUALIFIER for more info. I hope this helps. Katr67 (talk) 17:56, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

About Conflict of Interest
Judging by your username and your edits to John Brown University, I'm also appending a note about conflict of interest. Note that it's generally considered bad etiquette to add "your" link to the top of a list. It can be seen as an attempt at advertising, which is frowned upon on Wikipedia. Most lists of people are alphabetized by last name. Note also that Wikipedia is not for promotion and the writing of autobiographies is strongly discouraged.

COI
If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
 * 1) editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
 * 2) participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors;
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam); and,
 * 4) avoid breaching relevant 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 conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines.
