User talk:National Museum of Ireland

Welcome! Apart from the standard stuff below, it looks as if you would find GLAM getting started useful, with specific advice for cultural institutions. Please use Wikipedia talk:GLAM getting started for any queries you may have, or ask me directly. Johnbod (talk) 13:47, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

Copyright violation
Sorry I have had to remove your last edit, which appeared to be entirely a cut and paste of copyright material from the NMI website. We take copyright violation very seriously on Wikipedia. You have two choices: 1) re-add the material in your own words, also adapting the style in a few areas (eg visitor information), and referencing the website or eg the Wallace & O'Floinn Treasures book, or 2) if you are in fact an internal NMI person, release the material after demonstrating your identity & NMI consent to the Volunteer Response Team, which I would suggest on past experience with other institutions will involve a lot of hassle with your legal department etc.

I should have also mentioned before that "institutional" accounts are not allowed on Wikipedia - every account should relate to an individual person, which I accept yours may do, as for example [|User:VAwebteam] is - he/she had similar issues when starting out. We are very keen to improve content on the NMI & I am involved with the good collaborations we have with several UK museums. Feel free to e-mail me (via my [|User page] menu on left) if you want to discuss this or anything directly. Johnbod (talk) 12:46, 5 October 2011 (UTC)
