Some exceptionally cheeky edits at American School in England, rewriting history by deleting adverse reports completely and replacing them with "an inspection in September 2017 confirmed the school meets all of the independent school standards and national minimum standards for residential provision". Confirmed, forsooth! I have left your new information but reinstated what you deleted. I am tempted to tag you for vandalism, and I shall do it if you carry on the same way.

Dear Moonraker,

I work for TASIS The American School in England and I was updating the wrong information that the page was offering to the users.

Please, let me know if you need any proof of this. I can sent you the Ofsted report.

I apologize if I erased the information. It will not happen again. I was just trying to update it. Sincerely, Angel — Preceding unsigned comment added by Malozanog (talkcontribs) 10:19, 20 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

Thank you, Malozanog. I am perhaps being rather forthright again, but in Wikipedia's terms you have a conflict of interest and really should not be editing the page. It's helpful if you sign your messages with four tildes (like this, ~~~~), which adds your name and the time and date. Moonraker (talk) 10:48, 20 January 2018 (UTC)Reply


Hi Moonraker,

I understand that it could be a conflict of interest but what is better, update the information or leave outdated? Thank you for your help to clarify this issue.

Malozanog, rules are rules, and the unwritten one is "thou shalt not get caught". There's no actual harm in someone who's conflicted adding correct relevant information with a good source, the problem is one of bias. The sin wasn't so much the conflict of interest as the removing of what had gone before, that's where your bias became clear. Moonraker (talk) 08:16, 21 January 2018 (UTC)Reply
