Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page San Mateo National High School has been reverted. Your edit here to San Mateo National High School was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=214351768048) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page San Mateo National High School do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Using different styles throughout the encyclopedia makes it harder to read. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to San Mateo National High School. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it.

STOP! The content you are adding is completely unacceptable. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a college viewbook or free webhost. It's hard to get started here, with so many style rules. At the top of this page, I have posted a set of links to help you start learning the major ones. I strongly advise you to read them, especially things regarding style, such as WP:TONE and WP:NPOV. If you continue down your path of repeatedly adding content that many others keep removing, you may be blocked from editing. Please spend some time learning the ropes. There are many others willing to help, but you have to follow their advice and accept (or at least discuss) their criticisms. DMacks (talk) 07:22, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

This is your last warning; the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. DMacks (talk) 08:34, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

You have been blocked temporarily from editing for advertising or self-promoting in violation of the conflict of interest policy and notability guidelines. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Materialscientist (talk) 09:54, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

Avoiding advertising
You might find it helpful to look through the other schools listed at category:High schools in the Philippines. Though the quality is highly varied, this might give you some ideas for how to structure the article, keep the tone encyclopaedic and avoid the article being seen as promotional.
