Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Foobar Museum of Art". However, you are permitted to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you individually (not your role), such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87", but not "SEO Manager at XYZ Company".
Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, service, or website, regardless of your username.

Hello Ths 2024. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being employed (or being compensated in any way) by a person, group, company or organization to promote their interests. Paid advocacy on Wikipedia must be disclosed even if you have not specifically been asked to edit Wikipedia. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.
Paid advocates are strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.
Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Ths 2024. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Ths 2024|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:45, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

- Hi @DoubleGrazing,
- Are these not significant coverage of the school itself? They are all independent and reliable secondary sources.
- I'm trying to understand what other sources you need.

- "Spearheading Science Through Ocean Literacy | World Schools" Horsejump5! (talk) 07:45, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
- Also this reference as well:

- Taking each of these sources in turn:
- The first SCMP article (via Finalsite) is about the collaboration with Ocean Park, not about the school per se. It also relies heavily on commentary by Blurton, so not independent.
- World-schools.com is a primary source, and that looks like a promo piece.
- The second SCMP one is sponsored by the school, aka. churnalism.
- The next one is about seaweed and seaweed farming, again not about the school per se.
- Another World-schools.com piece.
- I hadn't seen the Earth.org article before, but it's based on an interview (says so in the title) so not independent, and again about the seaweed project.
- To count towards notability, we need to see secondary sources with significant coverage about the school itself, and that coverage must be totally independent of the school, ie. not based on publicity materials, interviews, paid/sponsored content, advertorials, or routine business reporting (personnel appointments, opening of new locations or facilities, anniversaries, annual exam results, etc.). -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:18, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
