edit

  Hello, I'm Gab4gab. I noticed that you recently removed content from Delhi Private School, Sharjah without adequately 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; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. School fees are not required but they are also no prohibited. I suggest you propose your change on the article talk page and see if other editors agree.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy or request a change of username.

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".

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.

 Thank you. GirthSummit (blether) 14:27, 22 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
To be clear, I've blocked this account because it clearly represents the name of the school you have been editing about. This is not permitted by our username policy. You can create a new account with a different username, which represents you as an individual. It does not need to be your real name, but it cannot be the name of the school. The WP:COI and WP:PAID editing guidance will still apply to you however - you must declare your connection to the school, and should make suggestions for changes on the article talk page, not on the article itself. Thank you. GirthSummit (blether) 14:30, 22 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
