Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Bonn International School. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you.

This is not 'promotional material' but factual information: the history of the school, the number of students, the curriculum etc. I am unsure why you have deleted this information. Please can you reinstate it? Many thanks Genuinewikieditor (talk) 11:23, 19 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Wording such as "extensive playing fields" and "It serves the multinational community in Bonn, particularly the United Nations, as well as local families who seek an education with international perspective for their children" are promotional in tone, Genuinewikieditor. You also added external links to the text of the article, which isn't allowed, and didn't include references to support the text you added. References are needed to meet Wikipedia's verifiability requirements. Additionally, if you work for the school, you need to declare this per WP:PAID.

Thanks for the clarification. I will remove all such items and make the links into references and repost. I am not employed by this institution so there is no need for the declaration. Thanks again for the advice Genuinewikieditor (talk) 09:47, 20 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
