Hello, SJCHS. 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 St. Joseph Catholic High School (Ogden, Utah), 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.

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.  B a i l o 26  18:08, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy. It also appears that your account is intended to be used for the purpose of telling the world about an organization, person or cause that you consider worthwhile. Unfortunately, many good causes are not sufficiently notable for their own Wikipedia article, and all users are discouraged from editing in any area where they have an inherent conflict of interest. You may wish to consider one of these alternative outlets. If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. Thank you. -- Orange Mike &#x007C;  Talk  17:24, 23 April 2014 (UTC)

Wow.
I just want to say what a great job you have done in keeping that article neutral! You obviously read into the material provided and acted on it making a much more readable page! I also fixed the link for you so it became what we call an "inline reference" Next however its time to introduce you to another of Wikipedia's "Pillars" which is about citations and referencing material. This time i have not deleted any of what you have written because the only time we delete unreferenced material is when it is about a living person. This is just to help make Wikipedia as factually accurate as possible. For example, Its brilliant that the school has won 52 State Championships, But how can we be sure that is not a made up figure. (I'm not saying it is, but hopefully you get my point.) Everything on Wikipedia must have some source of reference. So take a read of this page WP:REF and hopefully get some references in there! Feel free to message on my talk page with any questions. -- B a i l o 26  Talk 19:37, 22 April 2014 (UTC)
