Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Oklahoma State Firefighters Museum has been reverted. Your edit here to Oklahoma State Firefighters Museum was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (https://www.facebook.com/OkFireMuseum/) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 19:44, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

Promotional editing
Your editing at Oklahoma State Firefighters Museum appears promotional in nature. This is common in new users: you know about a cool thing and you want to tell the world about this cool thing. But Wikipedia strives to maintain neutrality and an encyclopedic tone. Also, we rely on reliable sources for our content rather than just the cool stuff we know about this cool thing. In particular with your edits to the Museum's page, you provided a detailed list of exhibits at the museum. That might be of interest to a person intending to visit the museum, but Wikipedia isn't a travel guide, so our goal is not to inform potential visitors about the museum's exhibits. If any of the exhibits were in some way particularly notable (i.e. something other than what one might expect to find in any state's Firefighters Museum), and if there is independent coverage of that particularly notable exhibit, that would be worth including. Given that you may be associated with the museum (I am presuming here that "OSFA" stands for the Oklahoma State Firefighters Association, the museum's owner), and therefore have a conflict of interest regarding the topic, I would recommend that, rather than editing the article directly, you request specific edits at the article's talk page to let uninvolved editors assess the requested changes.
