Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Rob spendlow. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the article John Whitgift Academy, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. 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).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. You have removed the information about Ian Huntley attending this school, but it is referenced by an article in The Scotsman, which should be a reliable source. I think you may be the principal of the school, and to have made the same edits under another username? If you can find a source stating that Huntley went to another school, please do put the information into the correct article and remove it from this one. Otherwise, please do not remove the information. Thanks. Tacyarg (talk) 22:24, 26 February 2018 (UTC)

Please do not add or change content, as you did at John Whitgift Academy, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. Tacyarg (talk) 21:49, 2 October 2018 (UTC)

change to John Whitgift Academy wiki

Am I little confused? I have tried to simply update the wiki about the academy giving factual information and not judgmental information. As Principal of this academy, who better to cite past students and exam outcomes?? Rob spendlow (talk) 16:03, 13 October 2018 (UTC)

Hi there. There are two issues here - firstly users are discouraged from editing articles where they have a conflict of interest. Secondly, if you add new information to an article you should give a reference to a reliable source. In the case of the 2018 results, this might be the local newspaper, or, later in the year, the DfE. But in any case given the first issue I suggest that if you have a reference you can provide, you do so on the article's Talk page to avoid the conflict of interest issue. Hope that helps.
