Your account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia because your username, JTMAT, does not comply with Wikipedia's username policy. Your username is the principal reason for the block. You are welcome to continue editing after you have chosen a new username that complies with Wikipedia's username policy, which is summarized below.

Under Wikipedia's username policy, a username should represent an individual person. It should not: represent a group or organization; be promotional; be misleading (such as indicating possession of special user rights, being a "bot" account - unless approved, or implying that the account has any administrative or "moderator" user rights, or any kind of "power" or "authority" over other users); nor be offensive or otherwise disruptive. However, a username that contains the name of an organization and also identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87" is allowed, but not "SEO Manager at XYZ Company". Among others, the guidance on conflict of interest and the policy on paid-contribution disclosure are relevant.

Please take a moment to either create a new account, or request a username change of your current account here. The new username that you choose must comply with Wikipedia's username policy.

• To create a new account with a different username, simply log out of this account and then click here to make a new one.
• If you prefer to change the username of this account, you may do so by adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page here: {{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

Please note that the new username you choose cannot already be taken and in use by another account. You can go here to search and see if the username you'd like to choose is available. If the search returns that no global account with that username exists, that means it is available to be taken.

Appeals: If your username is not in violation of Wikipedia's username policy, and if you believe that this block was incorrect or made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the following text to the bottom of your user talk page here: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

Thank you. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 14:45, 2 February 2023 (UTC)

April 2023

Hello RachelatJTMAT. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, 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 serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

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. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged 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:RachelatJTMAT. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=RachelatJTMAT|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. DoubleGrazing (talk) 10:37, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

Hi @DoubleGrazing - thanks for your messages and reviewing my submission. I am writing this on behalf of John Taylor MAT - I work for them but I am not being paid specifically for this page submission. Apologies if I have not complied with terms of use - I will do this now as detailed in the above message. I am not trying to deliberately go against your guidelines - I just wish to have this Multi Academy Trust listed on here, as many others already are.

To this end - I do not understand the comment on sources. I have taken all sources relating to the MAT website away, and substantiated using independent Government pages, or Ofsted. Can you please explain why these are not acceptable and what else needs to be done for sourcing to pass guidelines?

Many thanks,

Rachel 82.12.144.112 (talk) 10:58, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

Hi Rachel,

Firstly, please log into your account. Thanks.

Secondly, regarding paid editing, you don't need to be paid expressly to write this article; the fact that you are employed by the organisation which is its subject is enough to put you within the scope of the paid editing rules.

Thirdly, regarding the sources, per WP:GNG we need to see significant coverage in secondary sources, whereas your draft only cites gov't sources which are primary (and one non-gov't one, but it is incorrectly formatted and doesn't actually link into the stated source; in any case, it alone wouldn't be enough).

HTH, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 11:10, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

HI @DoubleGrazing - apologies I hadn't realised I was logged out. I will put my paid status on my sandbox page, no problem. Apologies I forgot to do this before re-submitting.

Re. sources. I don't have a lot of secondary sources to tag - we don't have papers or books written about us and we don't have a huge amount of news coverage. I will see what else is relevant to put here. I am not just using Government Pages, but also the County Council, Ofsted and the Research Schools Network that are UK wide body for all Research Schools. If this is not enough for us then I have to ask how and why so many Company pages have been listed on here when I can see similar levels of sourcing. I appreciate your time and effort in replying - this is the first page I have written so I am not trying to deliberately break rules.

Thanks, Rachel. RachelatJTMAT (talk) 11:25, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

You say "don't have a lot of secondary sources to tag - we don't have papers or books written about us and we don't have a huge amount of news coverage" that is a VERY strong indication that the academy is not notable in Wikipedia terms. Theroadislong (talk) 11:32, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

Gov't pages are primary, whether central or local gov't. That includes Ofsted etc. (the clue is in their website domain, which is on the .gov.uk TLD). As I said, the Research Schools Network source may, or may not, be better, but I couldn't verify it as the citation is incorrectly formatted, and in any case it alone isn't enough to establish notability.

If you don't have secondary sources to cite, as you suggest, then you probably cannot have an article on this subject published in the Wikipedia. Best, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 11:33, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

Ok - understood. Thanks for taking the time to reply. RachelatJTMAT (talk) 11:35, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

I unblocked you on the understanding that you would comply with WP:COI and WP:PAID. You must do this now. 331dot (talk) 10:52, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

Hi @331dot. Apologies I forgot to do this when I re-sumbitted.

{{paid|user=RachelatJTMAT|employer=John Taylor MAT}}.

I will post this to my main page also.

many thanks,
