User talk:Themorleyacademy

October 2015
Hello, I'm WikiDan61. I noticed that you recently removed some content from The Morley Academy without 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; I have restored the removed content. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. ''Also, your edit summary, "Reversing changes made by a non-employee", implies that non-employees should not be editing this article, but in fact, the exact opposite is true. Employees, with an obvious conflict of interest, should refrain from editing the article. The Morley Academy does not own the content of its Wikipedia article.''

Username
Welcome to Wikipedia. I saw that you edited or created The Morley Academy, and I noticed that your username, "Themorleyacademy", may not comply with our username policy. Please note that you may not use a username that represents the name of a company, group, organization, product, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Trammel Museum of Art". However, you are invited to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you personally, such as "Mark at WidgetsUSA", "Jack Smith at the XY Foundation", and "WidgetFan87".

Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people, and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, or website, regardless of your username. Moreover, I recommend that you read our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please create a new account or request a change of username, by completing this form, that complies with our username policy. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 12:24, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

Removing sourced material
Once again, you have removed sourced material from The Morley Academy, this time with the edit summary, "Change made by The Morley Academy. See my email address domain and IP address for validation." Again, I have to inform you that your organization does not get to control the content of the Wikipedia article about it. (Again, I refer you to WP:OWN.) Material that is verifiable to independent sources is valid content for the article, whether or not it is complimentary to the organization. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 12:36, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

Is it possible to request to take the page completely down in that case?
 * As stated, as long as something can be verified with independent sources, it can be on Wikipedia. I also urge you to read WP:OWN. 331dot (talk) 12:40, 5 October 2015 (UTC)
 * It is unlikely. The school is notable for several reasons, some good, some apparently not so good. But the article would only be deleted if the school failed Wikipedia's notability guidelines, and this one does not. That being said, I understand the problem you have with the current controversy being such a prominent feature of the school's history. I would recommend that you open a discussion at Talk:The Morley Academy requesting that the material be removed. Then the community can decide whether the controversy deserves mention in the overall context of the history of the school. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 12:44, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

Apologies if I was breaking your rule set. It is good to know you can post pretty much anything you like with a reference though. Thanks a lot for your guidance.

Your account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia with this username. This is because your username, Themorleyacademy, does not meet our username policy. '''Your username is the only reason for this block. You are welcome to choose a new username (see below) and continue editing.''' A username should not be promotional, related to a "real-world" group or organization, misleading, offensive or disruptive. Also, usernames may not end in the word "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account. You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines and create the account yourself. Alternatively, if you have already made edits and you wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:
 * Adding on your user talk page. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked, as you can usually still edit your own talk page. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "E-mail this user" on their talk page.
 * At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
 * Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. The account is created upon acceptance, thus do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change. For more information, please see Changing username.

If you think that you were blocked in error, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 08:01, 8 October 2015 (UTC)
