Conflict of Interest in editing Southern Regional College
Hello, Wrightj797. I have reverted your major edit (apart from the bit that was reverting obvious vandalism, which I have retained). I'm afraid that your edit was quite inappropriate, for several reasons, though I presume it was in good faith. The article is Wikipedia's article about the college: it does not belong to the college, and it is quite inappropriate for the article to talk with the college's voice. It is also inappropriate for the college or its employees to edit the article (other than removing obvious vandalism).

I'm guessing that you are an employee: If so, Wikipedia regards you as a paid editor, and it is mandatory for you to declare that status: follow that link for how to.

Then, as an editor with a conflict of interest, you should not edit the article directly, as I say. Instead, you should make edit requests on the article's talk page (see that link for details).

The most valuable thing you could do for that article is to find some independent sources for the information in it: an article without sources is basically worthless, as a reader has no way to check whether its content is right or not. One of the least valuable things you could do is to add more unreferenced material, especially if it is material that the college wants to say. Wikipedia is not interested in what the subject of an article says or wants to say about themselves, or what their associates say about them. Wikipedia is only interested in what people who have no connection with the subject, and who have not been prompted or fed information on behalf of the subject, have chosen to publish about the subject in reliable sources.
