In case you missed it on the Wellington Academy's talk page
The conflict of interest tag is for informational purposes. It is to let others know that someone who has created or significantly contributed to an entry has a conflict of interest with the subject but the contents of the entry may not necessarily be a problem. Since it is clear by your username that you are more than tangentially associated with the subject of the entry, the tag is appropriate under the circumstances. I hope this answers and concerns you may have. Please feel free to ask if you have questions. Thank you.

Blanking
was your blanking of The Wellington Academy a desire by the page creator for the page to be removed? -- Drappel (talk) 15:37, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I was going to ask the same thing! I reverted your blanking of the page, and then realised that you were the creator of the page. May I suggest that you add reason at the top of the page to draw attention to the fact that you want it deleted? I assume that you are the Principle - the fact that you have a potential conflict of interest does not actual prohibit you having the article here, or indeed you editing it - all we ask is that you use a neutral point of view. The article has valid references - and I would suggest that it should be kept. However, it *is* your choice to request deletion, although it may not be granted.
 * I am going to put the article back in place - if you still want it deleted, rather than blanking the page (which should only be done in User space, not on articles), just place the prod tag above the first line. If after a week the tag is still in place, an administrator may delete the article. If you have any questions, contact me or Drappel. --  Phantom Steve  ( Contact Me, My Contribs ) 15:54, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Just to pop in my two penny worth, why blank a perfectly good article about an interesting school? The article will only grow in time, I see you don't like the COI tag but you shouldn't let that bother you it's purely factual, you do have a COI, but its no big issue. A man in your position I would have thought could become a great editor here, good luck and regards. Paste  Let’s have a chat. 16:06, 15 September 2009 (UTC)


 * With regard to the COI tag, as the content of the article is from NPOV, unless there are any objectins, I will remove it from the article. Andy, I suggest that if you want to add something to the article (with the relevant references), either mention it on the article's talk page, or ask myself, Drappel or Paste to put it in the article - assuming they don't mind me offering their services! - and if we think it's suitable for inclusion, we can, as neutral editors. --  Phantom Steve  ( Contact Me, My Contribs ) 16:39, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
