I would like to ask you if you are associated with the school you have been editing about today; certain Wikipedia policies may apply to you depending on how you are associated. Thanks 331dot (talk) 13:37, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I am associated with the school (web editor), but I would only ever write factually accurate content, I think is't a shame that the page is so short with very little information on it. Jgawoods (talk) 09:57, 5 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That seems to be the model definition of a conflict of interest and of paid editing. Since you've also cited the school's own website (not ideal) and you wrote the school's website, you're also (unwittingly I'm sure) providing original research which is one of Wikipedia's fundamental no-nos. Please read the links in the welcome message above, and the conflict of interest notice which follows. Cabayi (talk) 11:27, 5 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Jgawoods. 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 COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. Editing for the purpose of advertising or promotion is not permitted. 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, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
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 must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID). Thank you. Cabayi (talk) 11:27, 5 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ok I will just leave as is. Jgawoods (talk) 12:40, 19 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

February 2018

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Sprowston Community High School a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you.

I've swapped the articles around. You'll need to re-do your edits at Sprowston Community Academy. Cabayi (talk) 13:54, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
