Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page National Media Museum has been reverted. Your edit here to National Media Museum was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (http://nationalmediamuseumblog.wordpress.com) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, fansite, or similar site (see 'Links to avoid', #11), then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest). If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 09:46, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

National Media Museum
Beth, I see you are making extensive edits to this article. Unfortunately you do not appear to be adding any references to independent reliable sources to the article. Adding information without sources makes the article worse, not better: please consider taking the time to improve the article by finding the published references for its content - existing content as well as what you are adding. I am also concerned that some of the material you are adding is verging on advertisement, and that by this you appear to have a conflict of interest, and would be better not editing the article at all. Please read the links I have given before you proceed further. --ColinFine (talk) 13:50, 3 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi Colin,

Thanks for your comments. I think I've been very naive about this. I have just been talking to someone who is more familiar with Wikipedia and its uses and I am more aware of what I should or shouldn't be editing.

I began editing the Media Museum's page because I saw there was some information that was incorrect - our director has changed and that position doesn't exist anymore, opening days have changed and we have new galleries. Also, I saw that it had current exhibitions listed on there, and the ones listed are not the current ones.

I should have read the policies you sent me before doing this. I would really appreciate your advice on this matter. Are the changes I've made acceptable? What should I take out?

We have millions of images in our collection and it'd be great to use them to illustrate posts with just a credit to the museum underneath. Is this something I could do?

Best, Beth
