User talk:Mountmary1

Welcome to Wikipedia. I saw that you edited or created Mount Mary College, and I noticed that the username you have chosen, "Mountmary1", seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of something other than yourself. Please note that you may not edit on behalf of a company, group, institution, product, or website, and Wikipedia does not allow usernames that are promotional or have the appearance of shared use. If you are willing to use a personal account, please take a moment to create a new account or request a username change that represents only yourself as an individual. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and remember that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 20:31, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks for updating me quickly about this, Dan. I chose this username in the hopes of making these edits appear more official and professional. It was not my intention to make it seem like I was promoting the school or it's interests. I had only hoped to add some more content and information to an otherwise, dull stub. I see you have also reverted my changes stating that the only citations used were those from the school's website. This is true, but I didn't see it as much of a problem. If I cut some unnecessary/redundant references and then find a few more from a neutral source, would it be acceptable to re-update my changes? I am also happy to make a new account without a promotional overtone. Thanks again. --Mountmary1 (talk) 21:15, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Your edits relied on the school's own website, which is considered a primary source, and not a valid independent reference. Your edits also had a decidedly promotional tone, appearing to praise the school for its accomplishments rather than simply reporting facts.  You may continue to edit (preferably after changing your name, as long as you can provide valid independent sources, and maintain a neutral tone, but even then, you should disclose your relationship to the school on the article's talk page.
