Hello and welcome to the English Wikipedia! I'm ApteryxRainWing, a member of the Welcome Committee. Our goal is to find new users such as you and help them out. Whether you meant for it to or not, your recent edit falls under the category of disruptive editing. Now I'm not here to punish you or anything because on Wikipedia, we assume good faith and believe in multiple chances. I highly recommend you read these policies before editing any further, because there's a chance your edits may be found by a less-than-merciful administrator and you may get blocked.

Manual of Style - A guidebook explaining how to write encyclopedically.

Your First Article - If you are feeling brave, this page features guidelines and procedures for creating an article on a new topic.

The Teahouse - A little forum where you can go and ask specific questions about editing or making articles. When you ask a question, another editor should stop by within a few hours to answer the question or direct you to an article/policy/guideline that can answer it.

The Five Pillars of Wikipedia - The five most fundamental philosophies the entire Wikipedia project is built on.

Policies and Guidelines - A long list of all the rules that we follow here.

WP:NPOV - Code for Neutral Point of View, a policy that is very important but often ignored.

WP:NOTABILITY - Another specific and very important policy on the notability of a subject that a lot of people ignore.

WP:COI - A policy on Conflict of Interest, meaning that you need to be extremely careful when editing articles about things you are connected to.

WP:RS - A helpful page explaining what a reliable source is.

Perennial sources - A page listing some common sources and how accurate they are, based on community consensus.

WP:OR - A page explaining what original research is, because it is a thing we avoid like the plague here.

What Wikipedia is Not - A more specific list of things you shouldn't do on Wikipedia.

Task Center - A list of tasks you can do to help the encyclopedia such as copyediting or stopping vandals.

Commons - Another Wikimedia project aimed at providing free images to use without fear of copyright strikes. You can also upload your own photos to improve the database.

If you need anything, feel free to ask on my Talk Page. If I can't help you, then the wonderful people at the Teahouse and Help Desk should be able to assist you. If you have a question about an encyclopedic topic, the people over at the Reference Desk should be able to help. We hope you enjoy your time here, and happy editing!

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Gravesend Grammar School. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. CR (talk) 12:49, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. Acroterion (talk) 13:24, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent article submission has been rejected and cannot be resubmitted. If you have further questions, you can ask at the Articles for creation help desk or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help. The reason left by JJPMaster was: This submission is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia.

Hello, Knowlsey09! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! JJPMaster (she/they) 13:11, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, the introduction of inappropriate pages, such as Draft:John knowles, is considered vandalism and is prohibited. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Under section G3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, the page has been nominated for deletion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
