COI
Hi Libby, and welcome to Wikipedia.

I happened to notice your question on Simple Bob's talk page about copyvio. I'll let him answer that, but it was something else I wanted to raise. You mentioned there that you wrote the material for the museum yourself; this was presumably as a member of staff or as a volunteer, and so you must be personally involved with the museum. I just wanted to draw your attention to WP's policy on conflict of interest (COI). WP is an objective, non-biassed encyclopaedia, and so great care is needed to maintain balance when editing on matters one is closely involved with. I am not suggesting that you have not been balanced (and in fact I haven't looked at your edits) – I just wanted to make sure you understood the issue. The following is a standard notice about COI, which I've included to save typing. It's a bit sternly worded, but of course this is a serious issue: Welcome to Wikipedia. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
 * 1) editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
 * 2) participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. [End of standard message] Best regards, and I hope you will enjoy being a WP editor – I don't mean to frighten you off! Richard New Forest (talk) 18:21, 10 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Hello Libby, I have carried out some work on "Porthcurno Telegraph Museum" article, I have recently added some more content and a picture. I have included some references to validate my contribution. I have managed to find a reference that actually shows a panoramic view inside the museum, I am a british radio amateur, I visited the museum, and was most impressed. I managed to get shown round the little stone building on the beach and see the actual incoming reinforced cables. Very good place to go for a sunbathe as well on the beach. You may have some more information to add to improve the article. If you don't want to do it yourself, post it on my talkpage. (click on wher it shows "talk" after my name). Thanks.Francis E Williams (talk) 22:55, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
