Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation
Thank you for your edits to this article, especially the new references. Some of this information should be copied to the appropriate sub-articles, like those about the Peggy Guggenheim Collection and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. I removed some of your references to the Guggenheim's website: see WP:SPS for more information ("self-published media, such as ... personal websites ... are largely not acceptable as sources. ... Exercise caution when using [even expert self-published] sources: if the information in question is really worth reporting, someone else [that is, an independent third party] will probably have done so.") I also moved the new information about Abu Dhabi to the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi article, as it was too detailed for the Foundation's article. Let me note two things. First, when you add a citation to a source, please also add the name of the author, the name of the publisher and the date of publication. Second, it would be better to add the information first to the sub-article on the more specific topic (for example, Guggenheim Abu Dhabi), and then consider whether a summary version should also go in the Foundation's article, which is really an overview of all the subarticles. Finally, in order to avoid problems with our WP:COI guideline, when you have new material for Guggenheim articles, it might be better to suggest it first on the article's talk page to see if an editor without a conflict of interest can help you add the information into the article, and to see if other editors have any objection to the new material (for example, that it relies too heavily on self-published sources). All the best! -- Ssilvers (talk) 21:08, 3 July 2014 (UTC)
