User talk:ElginHotel

May 2017
Unfortunately, we cannot accept content copied from other sources, such as the page User:ElginHotel/sandbox which you created, unless we have proof that the copyright holder has released the content for free reuse in terms compatible with Wikipedia's licensing terms. Broadly speaking, that means that permission is given for anyone in the world to reuse the content for any purpose whatever, either unchanged or modified in any way whatever, subject to attribution to Wikipedia. Even if you are the copyright owner and are willing to allow such free reuse, we need evidence of the fact: we cannot assume it is so because someone comes along to Wikipedia, creates an account, and posts it here, because frequently people do that without having any authority to do so. The page has therefore been deleted.

A completely separate pint is that your user name suggests that you are working for the hotel which you have written about here. There are two issues that you should be aware of in that connection. Firstly, Wikipedia policy is that an account is for an individual person, and must not represent a business or other organisation. You must therefore not continue to edit from this account, and if you wish to continue editing then you can create a personal account for yourself. (A user name such as "Joanne at Elgin Hotel" would be perfectly acceptable, and would have the advantage of showing your connection to the hotel while at the same time indicating that it is an account for an individual person.) Secondly, you should look at Wikipedia's guidelines on conflict of interest, which explain how caution is needed by anyone editing on a subject to which they have a personal connection, such as a business that they own or work for.
