Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to St Nicholas' School, Hampshire. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you.

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you use Wikipedia for promotion or advertising, as you did at St Nicholas' School, Hampshire.   NJD-DE (talk) 20:07, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

why am I blocked?? I thought anyone was free to write what they liked as long as it is sourced

No, you cannot write promotional material (test scores, curriculum, facilities, etc.) And sources must be reliable; some random school’s website is not a reliable source. JayPlaysStuff (talk) 20:15, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

sourced from the school in question??

Yes. It is obvious your edits are a giant advertisement for the school, as your info is copy pasted word for word from the school site. You are not allowed to blatantly commit copyright infringement like that. JayPlaysStuff (talk) 20:19, 7 January 2021 (UTC)
