- To reinforce, a student made edits to this page that is damaging our brand and we were simply trying to resolve this. It appears this is deemed as conflict of interest, so we are simply looking for a resolution and appreciate your help and advice on this matter. The Abbey School Marketing (talk) 12:05, 12 July 2022 (UTC)
- First, you need to wp:DISCLOSE your conflict of interest (COI). Given your username and your edits and edit summaries, you appear to be paid by The Abbey School, Reading. Reference: wp:PAIDEDITING You need to disclose this on your wp:user page: user:The Abbey School Marketing.

Please understand, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a platform for promoting The Abbey School Marketing - see WP:NOTPROMOTION. Adakiko (talk) 12:26, 12 July 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you @Adakiko. We are looking to go through the channels you advise, although it appears another online editor has made the changes as they recognised it was a work of sabotage. I completely understand Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and not a vehicle for marketing, but all we have tried to do is identify a student has made edits to the site, replacing important and factual information with characters from Scooby Doo. Without this being resolved, the encyclopedic information would be incorrect. Hopefully we can get this sorted asap. 83.244.185.36 (talk) 12:35, 12 July 2022 (UTC)

You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. Additionally, if your contributions to Wikipedia form all or part of work for which you are, or expect to be, paid, you must disclose who is paying you to edit.
Please also note that you are permitted to use a username that contains the name of a company or organization if it identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87", but not "SEO Manager at XYZ Company".
If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}
at the bottom of your talk page.
You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text
{{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}
at the bottom of your talk page. 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.
