If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article University of the Sunshine Coast, 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:
- editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
- participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors;
- linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam); and,
- 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. Thank you. . Please, if your account also happens to be WikiUSC, I strongly recommend to stick to one account. --Arnzy (talk · contribs) 03:29, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
RE: USC (well... the Australian one...)
[edit]So I've looked over the article, and admittedly I have seen articles waaaaaay more biased and non-neutral than USC's article. However, with that said - coming from someone who's significantly updated my university's article as well (but as a student, not as a paid employee) - the tone of the article is coming from someone who works from the PR department just a bit. Now the fact that you're disclosing you're an employee of the university is absolutely welcome - we like people being up front about these things. However, paid personnel of companies and institution generally have a tendency of subconsciously boast or over-flowery. I would encourage asking students of the university to help you contribute - that way you won't be the only one pegged for COI. Also, don't get too worked up over a COI notice it's simply a notice from another editor saying you may be associated with the article subject a little too closely for comfort, but it is not necessarily placing you at fault for anything. I would like the USC article restructured though. Please read over the article guidelines that conform to all Wikipedia articles regarding universities. WP:UNIGUIDE.

Per your request, here are some things to work on, many remain from before:
- Although the school's branding campaign my call for referring to it as the University, Wikipedia does not. University should only be capitalized if it is starting the sentence or is part of the proper noun of University of the Sunshine Coast.
- External links such as that need to be relocated to the External links section, or converted into footnotes. They are not to be inline as many currently are.
- Punctuation goes before the footnote, not after. Footnotes 1 & 2 are correct, ones like 5 are incorrect.
- Lists: basically all lists should be converted to sentences.
- More citations, as whole sections are currently unreferenced
That's it for a quick look. Aboutmovies (talk) 07:40, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free media (File:USClogo.png)
[edit]Thanks for uploading File:USClogo.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:06, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
