Greetings, and a note about possible conflict of interest
Hi, Witclp!

In case you're not aware, Wikipedia has guidelines to help editors avoid writing about people or institutions with which they have a personal or professional relationship. That might apply to you with regard to the article on Wentworth Institute of Technology, if you are a WIT employee editing the WIT article as part of your paid work. I don't know whether you qualify as having a "conflict of interest" or not, but I did want to draw your attention to the issue. In any case, it is always proper for you to write on the corresponding Talk page, Talk:Wentworth Institute of Technology, to help improve the article.

The following is a standardized message on this subject:

If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
 * 1) editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
 * 2) participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors;
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam); and,
 * 4) avoid breaching relevant 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 conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for businesses. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines.
