Hello, Rabidmelonfarmer, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

File source and copyright licensing problem with File:WCGS logo.jpg[edit]

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:WCGS logo.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status and its source. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.

If you did not create this work entirely yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. You will also need to state under what licensing terms it was released. Please refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file.

Please add this information by editing the image description page. If the necessary information is not added within the next seven days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. DMacks (talk) 23:32, 28 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

May 2019[edit]

Hello, I'm SovalValtos. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Wallington County Grammar School, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.

Managing a conflict of interest[edit]

Hello, Rabidmelonfarmer. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Wallington County Grammar School, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the COI 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 (you can use 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 which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Kleuske (talk) 21:24, 30 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

May 2019[edit]

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to File:MJ Seaton.gif, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. Thank you.

June 2019[edit]

Please stop removing maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Wallington County Grammar School, without resolving the problem that the template refers to. This may be considered disruptive editing. Further edits of this type may result in your account being blocked from editing. Stop doing this. Meters (talk) 20:46, 21 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but I only removed this template because its being there seems ridiculous. Although there is no immediate source that one may be directed to to see the list of WCGS's headmasters, as a pupil of the school, I can personally vouch for the accuracy of the list. (Not to mention the fact that other schools whose Wiki pages display lists of previous headmasters don't have the same notice applied to them.) Please let me know if there is anything further you might suggest in addressing this matter. Rabidmelonfarmer (talk) 21:09, 21 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Verifiability policy is a cornerstone of Wikipedia encyclopedia. Personal vouching is not good enough. There are editors whose changes are done with disruptive intent or a mistaken attempt at humour. Readers need to be able to check the veracity of content by referring to a source. The fact that there are other school articles without the tag does not mean it is right not to have it. See Wikipedia:Other stuff exists, so please respect the hatnote's addition by User:Meters. If you have not been able to find a single source for the material such as a published history of the school, then individual citations from local papers over the years might be worth investigating.SovalValtos (talk) 23:20, 21 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

And you might want to read WP:MINOR. It was not a minor edit the first time you removed the maintenance template. let alone the second time. Meters (talk) 00:53, 22 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
