List of grammar schools in England[edit]
The List of grammar schools in England page starts with a definition of the list: "This is a list of the current 163 state-funded fully selective schools (grammar schools) in England, as enumerated by Statutory Instrument." Although Enfield Grammar School has the word "Grammar" in its name, it does not meet this definition: it is not fully selective, and is not listed in Statutory Instrument 1998 No. 2219 or its amendment, Statutory Instrument 1999 No. 2456. Please stop attempting to add it to the list. Kanguole 11:44, 30 September 2020 (UTC)
October 2020[edit]
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. You appear to be repeatedly reverting or undoing other editors' contributions at Enfield Grammar School. Although this may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Wikipedia this is known as "edit warring" and is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, as it often creates animosity between editors. Instead of reverting, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the talk page.
If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose their editing privileges. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to result in loss of your editing privileges.
Please look at the DfE page about the school - it says it is not selective. Tacyarg (talk) 19:55, 8 October 2020 (UTC)
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Enfield Grammar School; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Points to note:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
- Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Please come and discuss this on the article's Talk page. Tacyarg (talk) 19:51, 9 October 2020 (UTC)

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to London Borough of Enfield. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. I note that these edits promoted Enfield Grammar School, along with another Enfield school, and that you have been warned before about your editing regarding that school.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Enfield Grammar School, you may be blocked from editing. As the OFSTED report makes clear, it's a comprehensive. As the school itself makes clear, it is not selective. Changing the description from comprehensive to selective is misrepresentation and vandalism of Wikipedia. NebY (talk) 22:16, 15 August 2021 (UTC)
September 2021[edit]
You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Enfield Grammar School. NebY (talk) 11:40, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
