Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy or request a change of username. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. Additionally, If you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for your contributions to Wikipedia, you must disclose who is paying you to edit. If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. Thank you. -- Ed (Edgar181) 16:58, 22 July 2019 (UTC)

What an encyclopedia is and isn't
You've been blocked for having a promotional, role account username. It's easy enough to get unblocked from that, or to just carry on editing anonymously or from a new account. It's important that you understand what an encyclopedia article is and isn't. First, this article about this school is not for the school. This is not social media and this isn't the school's page on Wikipedia. An encyclopedia article is a summary of what reliable secondary sources have written about the subject, in this case Sarasota Christian School. Nothing more, nothing less. This isn't a directory and although editors with a connection to this school are allowed to edit the article, it is important that you follow all applicable Wikipedia policies and guidelines, and that you pay especially close attention to WP:COI and WP:PAID. I've built a very basic article for this school. Feel free to add neutral sourced information to it. John from Idegon (talk) 23:25, 22 July 2019 (UTC)
