Hello, I'm Hillelfrei. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Paston College seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Hillelfrei  talk   12:31, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Simoncottam. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Cromer 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 or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
 * 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. Hillelfrei  talk   12:32, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

 * I have blocked you for repeatedly introducing copyright-violating and promotional content. Please take some time to read up on our policies on copyright, conflict of interest, and advertising. If you are in any way connected to the pages you edited, you need to disclose that and abide by our conflict of interest rules. If you continue what you've been doing when the block expires, you will be blocked again, and that one will likely be indefinite. creffett (talk) 14:07, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

Blocked for sockpuppetry

 * Yeah, no, if you're going to go create a new account and continue the same behavior, your block becomes indefinite. If you appeal this you're going to need a really good explanation for the block evasion. creffett (talk) 15:29, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
