[edit] Your edit to Curtin University

Hi, and welcome (again). This edit [1] was innapropriate for a number of reasons. Firstly, Wikipedia is trying to build an encyclopaedia. It is not discussion forum for challenge/response type edits. We do not insert our user names into articles. Secondly, the wiki has a policy in regards to conflict of interest. Users with a direct association to the article should as a rule, never edit the article as such edits can be taken as promoting a certain point of view. And lastly, the article must maintain a Neutral point of view and every statement must be attributable. You may feel that you're just informing the reader of the University stance on the issue, but it needs to be presented as though and outsider had written it and it needs to include a citation to a reliable external source, such as a newspaper (ideally) or an internal Curtin publication (less ideal but adequate in this case).

I've reworded it to a more neutral style, including tempering the crititcism section to which you responded. If you wish to engage other editors with regard to content of the article, the best place is the discussion page Talk:Curtin University of Technology. I hope this helps. —Moondyne 11:15, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
