Paid editing
Hello Teamlocalsmedia. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, and that you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to Black hat SEO.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists, and if it does not, from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are  required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Teamlocalsmedia. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, please do not edit further until you answer this message. --Hammersoft (talk) 15:07, 29 January 2018 (UTC)

Your edits to Mayville High School, Southsea
We can not accept this text that you have reintroduced to this article with this edit. Please understand; If you have questions, please let me know. Thanks, --Hammersoft (talk) 15:14, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
 * This is copyrighted text lifted from their website. We would need to have explicit release of this copy in order to accept it here.
 * Even if we did have release, it's highly unlikely that we would use the material. The material is overly detailed, and does not take an encyclopedic approach. We use a summary style here, and going into such a high level of detail is unnecessary.
 * The school, nor you acting as their consultant, gets to dictate what is on the article here on Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a directory of schools, with each school having ownership of their entry in the encyclopedia. Schools do not own their articles here.

January 2018
There have been two problems with this account: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group or a web site, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing.

If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy. Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In that reason, you must:
 * Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked.
 * Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. - TNT❤ 21:12, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
