Hello, I'm 64andtim. I noticed that you recently removed content from Southland Academy without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. signed, 64andtim  ( chat ) 18:04, 17 August 2023 (UTC)

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did at Southland Academy, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use your sandbox for that. Thank you.

Welcome!
Hello, Ryp19, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article.&#32;Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
 * Best practices for editors with close associations
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * Tutorial
 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
 * Simplified Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome! ~ ToBeFree (talk) 19:33, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
 * The information posted about this topic is false. I only sought to correct the obvious mistakes and clear bias written about a school for others that want to dishonor the institution. The fact that I’m not allowed to do this shows flaws in this system and support for people who want to create a narrative that does not exist. You say I have a conflict of interest and cannot edit these obvious falsehoods, but will allow someone who has no concept of truth to edit and shame an institution. Makes perfect sense. Someone that knows the truth isn’t able to correct it but someone who wants to shame a school they have never attended is able to. Thank you for allowing such repulsive and backwards behavior and decision making to exist. In a world where truth is not allowed anymore thank you for reaffirming this notion. So someone that has a conflict of interest can’t edit information because they may have “bias” but someone who doesn’t like an institution can shame it publicly because they aren’t affiliated. Sounds good sounds perfectly accurate Ryp19 (talk) 23:20, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
 * The information you call false is supported by reliable sources. Perhaps the real problem is not that others are biased, but that your bias causes you to disbelieve the truth that is in front of you. I think if you do a little research with open eyes and mind, you’ll change your point of view. I hope you have the fortitude to do so. — Jacona (talk) 23:25, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Please take a look at the following 1979 news reports: and, which you removed, calling them "false". Please provide reliable sources to support your position, rather than removing the facts we have because they don't fit your fairy tale. — Jacona (talk) 23:56, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
 * In statistics reported by the school to the US Government in 2020, 444 out of 452 students at Southland Academy, or a little over 98% are White, while the 2020 census shows Americus and Sumter County, Georgia are 27% and 39% White, respectively. Just thought you might like to know. — Jacona (talk) 14:25, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
