Hello, MMcQDryden. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page West Nottingham Academy, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the edit COI template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see );
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see );
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you.  -  Sumanuil  '''. ''' (talk to me) 07:23, 12 August 2023 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry; I am a freelance copy editor/proofreader who went to school there 50 years ago. I saw some punctuation and other little things that should have been written correctly the first time, so I cleaned it up. I won't dig into any more editing anywhere on wiki! Don't block me. I'm merely an editor with heavy OCD which makes me a good editor. I'm certainly not advertising or promoting myself. Nor do I want to be paid in any way, shape or form. Just making the old school a little spiffier. WNA deserves all the help alumni can give. I can't donate money, so I deleted a few 'the' articles and threw in some commas. I seriously doubt that anyone would post a protest about bad punctuation, but please let me know if that happens. (I'm sure y'all will.) No hyperlink or URL necessary.
 * Thanks and, again, sorry. Marlene Dryden, 904-710-6631 MMcQDryden (talk) 07:34, 12 August 2023 (UTC)

The main problem was actually that you were copy-editing things like file names and internal links, and thus "breaking" them. I just used this warning because your edit summary seemed to imply you were working at the direction of the school administration.  -  Sumanuil  '''. ''' (talk to me) 20:33, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
