Hi there, and welcome to Wikipedia! Generally, if you come across biased wording or similar issues in an article that seem to violate our neutral point of view policy, there are two possible approaches. The first is to mention your concerns on the article's talk page and get input from other editors. This is an especially good approach if you think your changes might be contentious. However, considering no one has posted on Talk:Principia College since 2008, I don't think you'd have much luck with that in this case. So I'd suggest the second option: be bold, and just go ahead and make the changes, and follow the processes that article describes if someone disagrees and reverts them.

Wikipedia articles are always editorially independent of their subjects, so we would not ask for (or even want) Principia's approval over edits. In fact, we discourage organizations or institutions from getting involved with their Wikipedia articles at all - see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest (especially if you yourself are an employee of Principia or are editing on their behalf - if so, you must disclose it following the procedures in that article).

Please let me know if I can clarify any of that. I see you've already found the Teahouse, which I would also highly recommend for general questions. Thanks for helping to contribute! -Elmer Clark (talk) 05:15, 1 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Elmer Clark: Thanks for your response. It's been very helpful. I'm guessing I'll reach out to Teahouse soon. Now that I know how to edit on Wikipedia, I'm starting to see possible edits on other pages as well!

Hello, I have noticed that your edits are mostly related to the Principia, although the edits have improved the articles by a lot, please note that Wikipedia has a strong policy on Conflict of Interest. If you have a conflict of interest with the Principia or some other organization, please disclose it. Thank you. 0xDeadbeef (talk) 11:51, 11 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Hello @0xDeadbeef: I'm more of a amateur Christian Science historian. I have books and have been reading history on Christian Science for many years. Many of the changes I made to the Principia site were adding references to content already on Wikipedia without references. I have a few books about Huntingtower also. I love doing in depth research but I'm not working for anyone. If I've added content, I try to cite everything. If you see any areas where I've crossed the line of being biased or anything else, let me know. Thanks Archivingperson (talk) 13:49, 11 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Did you ever solve this problem? I'm not saying I know how but it might be useful for people to know the answer.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 22:53, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
