User talk:Hagley Marketing

Please stop adding promotional material to Hagley Museum and Library. Wikipedia's policies expressly forbid this, and your username suggests you may have a conflict of interest over this article. Celuici (talk) 13:43, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for being watchful. I updated the mission statement, library statistics and merged the museum listing. My intention was not to be promotional, but rather to be accurate. Hagley Marketing (talk) 13:50, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

If you can provide references for some of the content you added, then it might be worth restoring some of it. The material you added on library statistics, in particular, was quite interesting. However, please remember that this is an encyclopedia, and thus there is no place for a 'Mission Statement' in the article, and using words such as 'we' to refer to the Museum and Library is completely inappropriate.

The old mission statement is now back on the page. I'm fine if you delete "we" - I just want the content to be correct. I'm puzzled as to why the number of linear feet and focus of collections is inappropriate for the encyclopedia? Researchers find this information useful. I apologize if it offends you.

Welcome to Wikipedia. I saw that you edited or created Hagley Museum and Library, and I noticed that the username you have chosen, "Hagley Marketing", seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of something other than yourself. Please note that you may not edit on behalf of a company, group, institution, product, or website which relates to the entity in question, and Wikipedia does not allow usernames that are promotional or accounts that are shared. If you are willing to use a personal account, please take a moment to create a new account or request a username change that represents only yourself as an individual. You should also read our Conflict of interest guideline and Plain and simple conflict of interest guide, and remember that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. GregJackP  Boomer!   17:58, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

Hi GregJackP - Can you answer a question for me: why does this wiki page for Hagley Museum and Library have a FaceBook page as Hagley Museum and Library? Any help you can provide is much appreciated. Hagley Marketing (talk) 18:37, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

I did check in the policy and it says "A few exceptions can be made to this rule: making totally uncontroversial updates like removing typos, correcting or updating simple data, and removing blatant vandalism is fine; for anything else, seek input." - the changes I made were updates, corrections, and typos.

I don't have a clue on the Facebook page, but anyone can reuse the information in Wikipedia at any other site. The COI notice was not saying that you did anything wrong, it was just to make you aware of the policies. The username, however, is against policy and will need to be changed.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. Thank you. Alexf(talk) 12:51, 26 July 2013 (UTC)
