Clifton Steamboat Museum
I deleted the article because it appeared to be spam -- material presented solely for the purpose of advertising. The article does not assert the museum's notability, and your status as an employee of the museum is a conflict of interest. An article that uses third-party reliable sources attesting to the subject's notability can be submitted; however, keep in mind that Wikipedia is not a platform for advertising. I also removed the text of the article from my talk page -- please do not post it there again. -- Merope 21:03, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Technically I am not employed by the museum, so it is not a conflict of interest. Also it is a Museum - a NON-PROFIT organization - so I am unsure how you can say it was advertising - when there is no profit involved. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.82.9.62 (talk) 22:01, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Are you the one who left this message on my talk page? It was marked by an anonymous ip address, but I think it refers to the external link you wanted to add to an article. Let me know. Essentially, the link was removed not for copyright reasons, but because it appeared to be a site that sells the work - which is against WP:NOT. Dreadstar †  04:27, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
