Connection to St. John's University?

Do you have a connection to St. John's University? ElKevbo (talk) 17:42, 22 September 2020 (UTC)

I am a 2006 undergraduate alumnus, but have no connection to the university outside of that. Why do you ask?TiconderogaCCB (talk) 18:12, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

Please be sure that you're familiar with our policies and practices related to conflicts of interest. ElKevbo (talk) 13:59, 25 September 2020 (UTC)

Dully noted. I do not think that being an alumnus automatically qualifies as a COI, however, editors should be aware of any influence their protentional bias, realized or otherwise, has on their changes. My primary and most important objective was to clean up the structure of the article as a whole and improve upon the language, outdated numbers, etc. I will go back and compare the last version before my edits to the current version for potential adjustments that could have been bias driven and make changes to ensure all contributions have remained in the article. ---- Are you concerned or advocating that the page be reverted back to the prior status? I would hate to see all the content in the prior format and my contributions altered. TiconderogaCCB (talk) 14:30, 25 September 2020 (UTC)

I have not examined your edits in enough detail to have any specific concerns. You do have a conflict of interest even if it's not one that many editors would consider to be an especially strong one. At a minimum you should be cautious in working on this article. Some editors might even insist that you should limit your contributions to making suggestions and requests in Talk but I think that would be a small minority of editors so I wouldn't do that. But you should be clear about your relationship with the institution; a note on your User page is the typical approach. ElKevbo (talk) 15:54, 25 September 2020 (UTC)

I appreciate the advice, and will make that note in my User page. Hopefully if anyone has concerns they will compare the prior version to the present and note that almost all content is contained in one section of the article or another. I went and added back two small pieces of content I had deleted that could be interpreted as a bias omission. Overall, I believe my contributions going forward will be minor if any at all. The main idea was to get the article formatted in a way that allowed more constructive edits going forward with clear organization, and I believe that has been accomplished for the most part. TiconderogaCCB (talk) 16:02, 25 September 2020 (UTC) Also, side note, I made only a couple of small original contributions in all the edits (Diversity was the main one). It was almost 100% of the original article just reorganized or updated with grammar and format changes. TiconderogaCCB (talk) 16:09, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
