You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you add unsourced material to Wikipedia, as you did at Legacy Christian Academy (Ohio). It is quite clear that you are the same editor that has been making unsourced promotional edits to this article over the past hour. Please understand, this isn't Facebook and this article (it isn't a page) is not for or controlled by the school. If you want to edit it and can do so neutrally and within Wikipedia policies and guidelines, you are welcome to do so. Just remember it isn't part of the school's social media portfolio and it is not for promoting the school. Encyclopedias are tertiary. That means that virtually all of the content must be paraphrased from reliable secondary sources. It's not complicated. John from Idegon (talk) 03:04, 11 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The material was copied from another website, and thus was a violation of Wikipedia's copyright policy. Please don't add copyright material to Wikipedia. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 19:00, 11 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia: check out the Teahouse!

Hello! Number1Knight, you are invited to the Teahouse, a forum on Wikipedia for new editors to ask questions about editing Wikipedia, and get support from peers and experienced editors. Please join us! John from Idegon (talk) 03:05, 11 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

elcome to Wikipedia Number1Knight, from WikiProject Editor Retention
Thank you for registering! We hope that you find collaborative editing enjoyable. Wikipedia, an online encyclopedia that started in 2001, is free for all to use and edit within the guidelines and principles users have established and adhere to. Many of these principles and guidelines are listed below. Click on the link next to the images for more information. REMEMBER - each policy and guideline page has a discussion you can join to ask questions, add input and contribute your voice towards any current policy or guideline change underway! Join the discussion by going to the talk page of the article. Please take a minute to view a number of quick start pages for an overview of how to work within these guidelines and more information to help you better understand the practices and procedures editors are using. These include: The Newcomers Manual and User:Persian Poet Gal/"How-To" Guide to Wikipedia. Sometimes new editors become frustrated quickly and find their experience on Wikipedia less than enjoyable. This need not be. If you are having a difficult time for any reason, please feel free to ask me for assistance! Or, better yet, visit The Teahouse where veteran editors are waiting to assist you.

This is being posted on your talk page where you can receive messages from other Wikipedians and discuss issues and respond to questions. At the end of each message you will see a signature left by the editor posting. This is done by signing with four tildes (~~~~) or by clicking in the editing interface toolbox, located just above the editing window (when editing). You won't need to sign your contributions to articles themselves; you only need to when using talk pages. If you have any questions or face any initial hurdles, feel free to contact me on my talk page and I will do what I can to assist or give you guidance.

Notice of Conflict of interest noticeboard discussion

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard regarding a possible conflict of interest incident with which you may be involved. Thank you. AmericanAir88^(talk) 18:48, 11 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Number1Knight. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, such as the edit you made to Legacy Christian Academy (Ohio), but 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:Number1Knight. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Number1Knight|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. 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, do not edit further until you answer this message. John from Idegon (talk) 07:56, 14 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

As previously advised, your edits give the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic, such as the edit you made to Legacy Christian Academy (Ohio), but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. You were asked to cease editing until you responded by either stating that you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits, or by complying with the mandatory requirements under the Wikimedia Terms of Use that you disclose your employer, client and affiliation. Again, you can post such a disclosure on your user page at User:Number1Knight, and the template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Number1Knight|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. Please respond before making any other edits to Wikipedia. Since you've admitted to PAID editing here, all that is left to do is properly declare on your userpage and the article talk page and for you to follow the rules.
