Berns Salonger
Trying to turn the article into a copy of the Berns official website is futile, as your edits will just be removed. If you continue, you will soon be blocked from editing. Please try to take a more productive approach.

Maybe you are just a well-meaning person who wants to contribute something to the Berns Salonger article. Maybe you naïvely thought that using the content readily available on the Berns salonger website was an easy way to do this. Sorry, it is not. The material is copyrighted by Berns and cannot be used here without violating that copyright. In any case, its tone is not suitable for a website that aspires to be an encyclopaedia, not a vehicle for advertising.

Or maybe you work for Berns salonger and see it as your professional task to turn the Wikipedia article into advertising. In that case, you are lazy. There is at least one book (that I know of) written about Berns and a great deal more on its history in various reputable publications on the history of Swedish architecture, entertainment and so on. You could very easily write a perfectly informative, well-illustrated (if you work for them, you probably have access to good image archives, don't you?) and well-referenced article that will demonstrate the venerability of Berns, without turning the page into advertising. It would probably take a few days of research and writing to do this, but it's possible. --Hegvald (talk) 15:01, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

P.S. OK, searching the web reveals that you use your real name here and that you are the "Web and PR Manager at Berns Salonger". You can ignore the first part of the message above, but the second part is still valid. If you want to take the approach of writing a good historical article on Berns (without advertising language), I am willing to assist you. In case you have any questions, you can come to my user talk page, but I will also watch this page. You can also send me an e-mail at Special:EmailUser/Hegvald, but I won't promise an immediate reply. --Hegvald (talk) 15:46, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
