Orlady, there is no conflict of interest when I was merely making an edit to accurately reflect the name of the company for which the page is listed. There is no comma in DeVry Inc. as the title page would indicate. Thank you for your extreme concern and if you have the ability to make the edit, I would welcome your expertise so as to avoid any perceived conflict of interest.

Hello Jd devry. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article DeVry, Inc., 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 following the 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:


 * 1) 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.
 * 2) 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.
 * 3) Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * 4) 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. --Orlady (talk) 20:00, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Jd devry, your username and comments give your conflict of interest away. Making edits to more "accurately" depict one's own company is one of the most common forms of a conflict of interest on Wikipedia, actually.Jasper Deng (talk) 16:30, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

Things like adding the logo are OK
Those are non-controversial, and could be done by anybody.

The big edit, the one I reverted, is the very kind of thing which somebody in your position should never be doing. Your POV and COI just overwhelm any chance that the edits are going to be acceptable. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  21:12, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Well then OrangeMIke, I encourage you to make this edit, as the last deletion you just made crippled the DeVry Inc. Wiki page making in infactual - an infringement against the very spirit of Wikipedia, and I'm sure one that you would never intentionally make. I implore you top reveal your ulterior to making the drastic edits to our page, which does not keep in line with Wiki pages for other institutions of higher learning. I am merely trying to make our page complete. As it is now, due to you drastic deletions, it shows we only operate DeVry Brasil, when in fact we are the holding company for 10 different institutions. consider adding the following as another paragraph in the HISTORY section (or I will): In 2011, DeVry continued its international reach with the acquisition of ATC Internation (a subsidary of Becker Professional Education), which provides professional finance and accounting training in Central and Eastern Europe as well as Central Asia; and American University of the Caribbean, a medical school located in St. Maarten.
 * Additionally, OrangeMike, please remove the DeVry Brasil listing and add a new subhead titled INSTITUTIONS and add bullet pointed links to the Wiki pages for each of our holdings: Advanced Academics, American University of the Caribbean, Becker Professional Education, ATC INternational, Carrington Colleges Group, Chamberlain College of Nursing, DeVry Brasil, DeVry University, Keller Graduate School of Management, Ross University School of Medicine, and Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine.
 * I'm just one of hundreds of thousands of editors. All this discussion should take place on the talk page of the article, not here. I removed all that content, as I thought I said already, because the tone was promotional; and bullet lists are not the way to go here, as they don't conform to our Manual of Style. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  23:56, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
 * If you don't see what's wrong with language like "Chamberlain College of Nursing has trained nurses for more than 120 years. Its experiential learning model provides the needed skills labs and field experiences that make clinically proficient graduates," then you've made my case for me. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  00:00, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
 * OrangeMike, the language you are referring to has not been a part of this page for months. If you're going to "make a case" please do so on facts and not personal opinions and bias.Jd devry (talk) 13:20, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Actually, I removed that exact wording (and much more like it) at 09:52 on 3 August 2011. But I repeat, this discussion should be taking place on the talk page of the article, not here. -- Orange Mike   &#x007C;   Talk  13:44, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
