[edit] Hello, Drdrewwilliams. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:
- avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
- propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
- disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
- avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
- do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.
In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.
Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. — Blablubbs (talk • contribs) 22:44, 8 August 2020 (UTC)
BlabBlubbs,
I appreciate you doing what you do to ensure that there is no COI. The Wiki page for Tuacahn High School is blatantly wrong and is spreading misinformation. I worked hard yesterday to update it with correct information about what the school is. All of that was just reverted back without any citation or context. Even the pictures posted are old and need to be updated. If I can't update it, or someone from within the "company" update it, then who is going to, because it has certainly not been updated for quite some time. This is frustrating as a Wiki user knowing that Wikipedia would rather have misinformation than valid and up-to-date information.
Thanks for your help.

BlabBlubbs,
Additionally, I also am the Principal of this high school, so I am just trying to ensure that our school information is accurate and up-to-date. This is my first edit and also I understand that I have a conflict of interest. Everything I posted yesterday, and would like to update comes from our website. What is the best way to go about this?
Thanks,
Drew

- @Drdrewwilliams: First, you should add the {{paid}} template to your userpage to identify that you work for the school whose article you are trying to edit. Wikipedia has a mandatory and non-negotiable policy about employees disclosing edits regarding their employers.
- Second, you can request edits to the article on the article's talk page (Talk:Tuacahn High School for the Arts). I see you have already done this. But I would also make use of the {{request edit}} template on the talk page, as it will alert other editors to your post.
- Third, please post comments on talk pages at the bottom of the page or section. This ensures that the discussion flows in the correct chronological order.
- Finally, please sign your posts on talk pages. You do this by typing four "tilde" (~) characters at the end of your comment, which will display your username and the date/time of your comment. I think you might have tried to do this, but you typed the wrong character (you used the "backtick" character, `). --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 00:32, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
