User talk:Scholarofthehouse

Hello, Scholarofthehouse. 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 UCLA School of Law, 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.
 * 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.
 * 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. Please note the other faculty members listed have one line descriptives. Style-wise alone, the existing entry is best. Given that you've edited Khaled Abou El Fadl's article, I wonder if you have a WP:COI. If this is so, please do not use WP for promotion. I've added the Alfi Distinguished Professor position. Please leave it at that (but more info on Alfi would be nice). --S. Rich (talk) 13:53, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

Username message
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username (Scholarofthehouse) may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it is an organization name. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Scholar of the House appears to be a proxy (for lack of a better term) for http://scholarofthehouse.org/index.html. --S. Rich (talk) 18:11, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
