Tips 
 * Don't be afraid to edit! Just find something that can be improved and make it better. Other editors will help fix any mistakes you make.
 * It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed, but don't worry if you don't understand everything at first—it's fine to edit using common sense.
 * If an edit you make is reverted, you can discuss the issue at the article's talk page. Be civil, and don't restore the edit unless there is consensus.
 * Always use edit summaries to explain your changes.
 * When adding new content to an article, always include a citation to a reliable source.
 * If you wish to edit about a subject with which you are affiliated, read our conflict of interest guide and disclose your connection.
 * Have fun! Your presence in the Wikipedia community is welcome.

But
Please read policy WP:conflict of interest. You may not use Wikipedia to promote your museum. 𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 17:29, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * But what you may do is use the talk page to draw the attention of other editors to material that you consider relevant but may cause a CoI issue. So to get to the point, I've had a look at the Museum website and yes, it deserves a mention. But it can only go in the external links section, not the body, since it post-dates his death. So that's what I have done. Welcome again to Wikipedia. --𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 19:24, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Many thanks, I was aware I would have conflict of interest so it's useful to have the information about how best to disclose it, and thank you too for changing my amendment so it was displayed more appropriately. I joined Wikipedia so I could gain the right status to create a page for Court Barn Museum - would my conflict of interest prevent me from doing this? Wikipedia is such an unparalleled resource for people to gain information about places like the museum, but I wouldn't want to go against Wikipedia's code of ethics etc by making the page when I am a museum employee. Any advice would be very much appreciated! Many thanks. OliviaCourtBarn (talk) 12:00, 26 November 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm not the best person to answer your question suspect that there is already a ready-made answer to your question as you are by no means the first to have asked it. So could you ask it again at the Teahouse, please?
 * My guess would be that (conflict of interest aside) your proposed article would struggle to meet Wikipedia's WP:NOTABILITY test for a new standalone article, because it is not well known nationally (is it widely cited?). You are more likely to succeed with adding a new section to the Chipping Campden article – which, as I said earlier, is most easily achieved by submitting a draft to talk:Chipping Campden with a request for any other editor to review it and then add it. IMO, it also far more likely to be seen there than in a standalone article. And once it exists, the rules about creating a wp:redirect article (to it) are far more relaxed. Meanwhile I've added the external link to the museum at the Chipping Campden article. --𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 13:55, 26 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you, that's all really useful advice! OliviaCourtBarn (talk) 14:09, 26 November 2022 (UTC)
