This is not a sock puppet account. I am headmaster of this school and the information presented here is factually inaccurate.

I have unblocked your account, per communication to OTRS. Please read this before you attempt to edit that article again. §FreeRangeFrog^croak 23:31, 20 August 2015 (UTC)

COI

Hello, Purleau1. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the article Hammond School (South Carolina), you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. Editing for the purpose of advertising or promotion is not permitted. 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, company, organization or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
• disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
• 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 must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you.

Warning

Please do not remove information from articles, as you did to Hammond School (South Carolina). Wikipedia is not censored, and content is not removed on the sole grounds of perceived offensiveness. Please discuss this issue on the article's talk page to reach consensus rather than continuing to remove the disputed material. If the content in question involves images, you also have the option to configure Wikipedia to hide the images that you may find offensive. Thank you.

Another Warning

Please stop. Wikipedia is not censored. Any further changes which have the effect of censoring an article, such as you did to Hammond School (South Carolina), will be regarded as vandalism. If you continue in this manner, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

Final Warning

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia.

Facts

Hello Purleau1 -- The author Philip Roth had a beef with Wikipedia, too. He tried to correct an article about himself. It was reverted. He complained, asking who could be a more authoritative source on Philip Roth than Philip Roth? His request was turned down on two bases: (1) the anonymity of WP editors didn't allow him to prove he was Philip Roth and moreover, (2) WP only accepts secondary and tertiary sources as reliable. He was told he needed someone else to write about him and the disputed assertion in a recognized publication. That would do as a reliable source. The truth was not the issue. So he wrote a letter to the New Yorker [1]. Being from Roth, of course it was published. Lots of other publications picked up the story, giving the Wikipedia editors something to work with. You are in the same boat. Now that you've declared a conflict of interest (you and your director of communications are, I suppose, paid by the school), you can request changes on the talk page, but you may not make them yourself.

Hammond School

I've added some information about the Hammond's school's scholarships for minority students. If you have suggestions for relevant material, please list it on the talk page with citations and non-COI editors will consider adding it. You may want to review the guidelines on school articles for an idea of what kind of information can be included.

I also see that you have disputed the reliability of some of the sources used in the Hammond school's. Please feel free to add your concerns about specific sources in more detail on the article's talk page.

Finally, here is some general information that may help you communicate with other editors:

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
2. With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you.
