Talk:Duluth Superior Symphony Orchestra

Comment
The page it's redirecting to is not a credible source, it took the copy straight from DSSO's website and have no connection. We're working directly with the DSSO to create this page and would like to not have it deleted again.

Thanks,

 * Well, if that's the case, Amber, you (and whoever the remaining "we" are) need to read Conflict of interest and follow the guidance there scrupulously. As you can see, another editor has quite rightly removed the enormous amount of PR puffery with which you had filled this article. Not to mention that some of it was a verbatim copy of this PR blurb. I suggest you also read Copy-paste very carefully. Voceditenore (talk) 14:44, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

Future editing

 * 1. Remember that you are writing for an international readership, not simply Americans, and not simply your potential customers. Avoid the use of abbreviations like FL for Florida, NYC for New York City and expressions like "around the country" for "around the United States".
 * 2. Simlarly, Wikipedia is not a newsletter or bulletin board. Avoid terms like "now", "soon", "currently" and "recently" which make the article both imprecise, and in many instances, quickly inaccurate. Instead, use expressions such as "as of 2009".
 * 3. This is an encyclopedia article, not an alternative web site for the orchestra or its news letter. All additions must be referenced to reliable independent sources. Future performances are inappropriate. Performances should be added once they have actually taken place and an independent reference for them can be provided.
 * 4. All additions must be neutrally worded and use encyclopedic tone and style. Any additions which can be perceived by a neutral reader as hype or PR will be removed. See Neutral point of view and Avoid peacock terms for guidance.
 * 5. Do not paste in text from your or anyone else's official websites, blogs etc. Apart from the almost invariably unsuitable promotional style, it is a copyright violation unless the sites explicitly display a public domain free license.
 * 6. Do not add links to the external web sites of your collaborators unless they contain a specific page which is needed to explicitly corroborate a fact in the article. In those cases, they need to go as a footnote reference not as an inline external link. The link in the footnote should go directly to that page, not simply to the front page of web site.
 * 7. Expressions like "Learn more about so-and-so here", "Check out the upcoming concerts here", "Find ticket information here" accompanied by external links are unencyclopedic, promotional and completely inappropriate. All such additions will be removed.
 * 8. Remember, that once you have written an article on Wikipedia, you no longer own it. It will always have to conform to Wikipedia's policies on content, style and formatting – not to the orchestra's desired image or marketing goals.

 * My only note about the above (totally agree with most of it) is regarding copying in text, is that a public domain license is not required, just a free license (though public domain is also free). Chris857 (talk) 16:00, 15 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks for that, Chris. The above are the standard caveat points I that use in situations like this and I hadn't updated point 5 for quite a while. Best, Voceditenore (talk) 16:10, 15 November 2013 (UTC)
