User talk:Civil War Attraction

Hi, and welcome to Wikipedia! I noticed that you added a section to seeing the elephant, but your addition didn't fit Wikipedia's guidelines - it's an advertisement instead of being neutral, referenced information in the style of an encyclopedia article. I removed that addition, but since the subject is an educational museum exhibit, the basic information can still be useful for the article. I looked up the subject via Google and found a couple of newspaper articles about it, and I wrote a short new section that describes the exhibit in a neutral and referenced way that fits better into the flow of the article.

Assuming you work for the museum, I'd encourage you to learn more about Wikipedia's guidelines and contribute your Civil War knowledge here - check out Wikimedia's GLAM outreach page for some resources for museum staff. You'll need to change your username first though, since promotional names are not allowed - see WP:SPAMNAME for explanation. You can request a name change at Changing username.
