Northwestern College (Illinois)
Hi. I noticed you'd created the article "Northwestern College (Illinois)", and that your username was very similar to the name of the article. If you are affiliated with Northwestern College in Illinois, I would advise you not to create articles about it, as such articles tend to wind up sounding like adverts, and that's not what we're looking for. You can still contribute to the article if you wish, of course, provided you produce trusted sources to back up any information you add. Happy editing! CarrotMan (talk) 17:04, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the username you have chosen (Ncollegeillinois) seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of a group, company or website.

There are two issues with this :
 * 1) It is possible that you have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, you must exercise great caution when editing on topics related to your organization or adding links to its website.
 * 2) Your account cannot represent a group of people. You may wish to create a new account with a username that represents only you. Alternatively, you may consider changing your username to avoid giving the impression that your personal account is being used for promotional purposes.

Regardless of whether you change your name or create a new account, you are not exempted from the guidelines concerning editing where you have a conflict of interest. For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. The article in question is Northwestern College (Illinois). Thank you. --Drm310 (talk) 15:45, 18 October 2011 (UTC)
