Welcome!

Hello, NaomiLeGere, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, your edit to Colorado Northwestern Community College does not conform to Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View policy (NPOV). Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media.

There's a page about the NPOV policy that has tips on how to effectively write about disparate points of view without compromising the NPOV status of the article as a whole. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, to ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. Below are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Joseph2302 (talk) 21:54, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

Colorado Northwestern Community College‎
When adding text to Wikipedia, it must be neutral tone, per WP:NPOV, and supported by reliable sources- see WP:Identifying reliable sources for what is a reliable source. Your edit added unsourced, promotional, marketing-style promotions, for example:
 * 1) "quaint"
 * 2) "And the very competitive Dental Hygiene program is state and nationally ranked. The Craig campus is always a bustle of art activities. World-class, award-winning artists"
 * 3) "thriving automotive community including an awesome Rock Crawler club"
 * 4) "For the “diggers” out there, we have become"- first-person tone is never acceptable
 * 5) "The area we live in is ripe"- as above.


 * Also, no-one is going to phone you to discuss changes, changes should be discussed on Wikipedia. I assume you are affiliated with the college, in which case you have a conflict of interest- please read WP:COI, which strongly suggests not directly editing the article, but suggesting changes on the article talkpage instead.

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Colorado Northwestern Community College. While objective prose about beliefs, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. See the message above, this text is promotional and unsourced, so not acceptable. Joseph2302 (talk) 22:00, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, NaomiLeGere. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you have an external relationship with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Colorado Northwestern Community College, 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.
 * 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. Note that Wikipedia's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. ''Your edits, and a simple Google search, show that you have a conflict of interest. Please read WP:COI, which discourages you from directly editing the article. Note your edits are not "a simple update" like you suggest, please suggest edits at the talkpage, using neutral lone language and reliable sources.'' Joseph2302 (talk) 22:07, 24 June 2015 (UTC)

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to Colorado Northwestern Community College. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. ''Once again, please see WP:Identifying reliable sources for how to find reliable sources to support your additions. Without reliable sources, your additions cannot be verified, and constitute original research, which is not permitted.'' Joseph2302 (talk) 15:35, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Colorado Northwestern Community College. ''Once again, stop adding content without reliable sources. See WP:REFB for how to add sources, if you can find some that support your additions.'' Joseph2302 (talk) 16:00, 25 June 2015 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Colorado Northwestern Community College shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Please be patient
I am trying to edit content on the CNCC site. As per your request, I rewrote the intro paragraphs per the guidelines. I didn't realize I needed to put them into a "sandbox" first. I was just trying to fix old/oatdated materials. I printed out more guidelines and am reading through them. But I promise you I am not trying to start a "war." I will go through the guidelines again and try again. Please don't block me if I make a mistake...I'm learning. Thank you. NaomiNaomiLeGere (talk) 16:59, 25 June 2015 (UTC)
