Sackler article
Hi there. I just wanted to touch base about the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery article. First, do you work for the Smithsonian, or are you associated with them? I ask because the only articles you have edited are related to the Smithsonian, and Wikipedia has a pretty strict conflict of interest policy which requests that people associated with organizations either leave comments on the talk page requesting changes, and/or not edit articles for organizations they are involved with. I served as Wikipedian in Residence at the Smithsonian Institution Archives, and wrote the Sackler article as resident, so I keep a pretty close eye on it. We're not really supposed to cite the museums website as a citation (except reliable sources, and the archives is considered that), so I'm going to go ahead and remove those edits, and also remove the external links that were placed in the article. This is nothing personal! If you'd like to see some specific changes made to the article, please cite using reliable sources, or just leave comments on the talk page and people will do their best to improve it. I hope this helps! Thanks! SarahStierch (talk) 21:04, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Sarah, I was having similar concerns over this & the Freer article. I notice the museum website claims copyright & some edits appear to be straight cut & paste, so WP:COPYVIO is an issue also. Johnbod (talk) 21:07, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

Thanks!, duly noted (and temporarily, yes, I am). My apologies for any inconvenience caused.Kevnsn (talk) 17:21, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
