This is your only warning; if you vandalize Wikipedia again, as you did at Hunterdon Central Regional High School, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Theroadislong (talk) 20:49, 15 October 2013 (UTC)

Hello, HunterdonCentralStudent. 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 Hunterdon Central Regional High School, 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.


 * You also are close to violating the 3 revert rule. EvergreenFir (talk) 21:36, 15 October 2013 (UTC)

A summary of the issues raised above
A section that is added with the title "Christina Steffner's Abuse of Power" is headed in the wrong direction. As described above, Wikipedia editors are unconditionally required to write with a neutral point of view, and the characterization of the incident as an abuse of power is simply not neutral. You appear to be involved in this matter, a conflict of interest that can make it difficult, if not impossible, to address this situation in a neutral fashion. Your most recent version adds some trivial "balance", providing faint praise of policy changes before jumping right back into the claims of "abuse of power". A facebook page is not a reliable source, nor is someone's self-published personal website useable in this context. While there is a potential source covering the incident in this piece, the edits to the school's Wikipedia article make claims that go far beyond what's in the newspaper article. The claims made are biased personal attacks that are not acceptable in any Wikipedia article and I strongly suggest that you review the relevant policies and ask for assistance from experienced Wikipedia editors before reinserting these claims.
