User talk:TandridgeLearningTrust

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Warlingham School, which 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
 * Plain and simple conflict of interest guide
 * 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)

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.

Query
I made some changes to the school page because it was full of inaccuracies - outdated leadership team, date of conversion to an academy and multi -academy trust, we've had a name change, etc. In particular, the page was drawn to my attention because someone has been silly posting a former student as a rapper. I doubt this was posted by the student himself (Marcus) as he's a nice young man. It's obviously someone messing around. Now, the changes I made have all been reverted and it's not clear how I submit those changes to you, as a representative of the school. You've suggested I send you a draft but on the link you put, it's not clear how I submit the draft. There are other things incorrect, such as our logo, colours etc, but I can't see a way to edit those.

Lastly, it suggests I change my username to something that doesn't include the organisation, again, it's not clear how I do that and even if it's worth doing as I will still be the same person, trying to edit the entry for one of our schools.

Regards

 * Please visit Special:GlobalRenameRequest to make a username change request. Your username should reflect that an individual is exclusively operating this account, though your real name is not required.  As you state that you represent the school, you will need to read the conflict of interest and paid editing policies for information on formal disclosures you are required to make(if you are a school employee or otherwise compensated by the school, the Terms of Use require that to be disclosed).
 * As you have a conflict of interest, you should not edit about the school directly, though you are permitted to make formal edit requests(click for instructions) on the article talk page, Talk:Warlingham School, detailing changes you feel are needed. 331dot (talk) 14:53, 14 January 2021 (UTC)
