User talk:Artspacesydney

Welcome!
Hello, Artspacesydney, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I notice that one of the first articles you edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or any other editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One firm rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! You can also just type   on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Shirt58 (talk) 08:47, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

Problems, and solutions
Hi Artspacesydney, I'm Peter (aka User:Shirt58) and again welcome to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit. (Well, almost everyone. I'll expand on that later.)

Copyright problem, and its solution
I notice you've added some material copied directly from the Artspace Sydney website. Unfortunately I've had to remove it, as text subject to copyright cannot be included in Wikipedia. At the bottom of each of the website's pages is the message All content is © 2012 Artspace Sydney all rights reserved. If you want add information the Wikipedia web-page for Artspace Sydney (in Wikipedia jargon, its "article"), you can, as long as you write it in your own words that are not just superficial changes to the original, and with appropriate acknowledgement of of the source. "Inline citations" are preferred.

Username problem, and its solution
To put it simply: Wikipedia policy requires that only individual people acting on their own behalf can make changes (in Wikipedia jargon, "edit") to articles (and other parts of Wikipedia). Your "WP:USERNAME" suggests that you may be editing on behalf of an organisation, in this case, Artspace Sydney. The account under this name to be "blocked" from editing, but I sincerely hope this won't be necessary. Just register an "account": It's simple and easy. I edit under a pseudonym. People much more braver than me use their real names. Please do what ever choice is right for you.

It can be a little more complicated...
Wikipedia things can actually be a more complicated than what I've written here. But I'm confident that this is a good summary of the problems you might face, and (much more importantly) their solutions.
