User talk:Oyohouseofassembly

September 2017
There are several problems with this account and its editing.
 * 1) The page User:Oyohouseofassembly is substantially, or perhaps entirely, a copy of content which was previously published at www.oyostatelegislature.gov.ng/brief-history-of-oyo-state-house-of-assembly/. It is almost never suitable to copy content from another web site to Wikipedia, for more than one reason, the most important being copyright. When you post anything to Wikipedia you release it for anyone in the world to reuse it, either unchanged or modified in any way whatever, subject to attribution to Wikipedia. It is very rare that the owner of a web site licenses content for such very free reuse, and in those few occasions when they do so, we require proof of the fact. We don't assume that content is freely licensed on the unsubstantiated say so of just anyone who comes along and creates a Wikipedia account, for the simple reason that very often people come to Wikipedia and falsely claim to have copyright rights that in fact they don't have.
 * 2) Even on the rare occasions when there is no copyright problem, content from an organisation or business's own website is not usually suitable for a Wikipedia article, as it is almost invariably written in terms designed to promote the organisation and give a good impression of it, rather than presenting it from a neutral point of view, as required for a Wikipedia article. To a significant extent that was so with the page you created. Such promotional editing is not permitted by Wikipedia policy.
 * 3) A Wikipedia user page is for someone who is active in working for the project to give a little information about himself or herself in connection with his or her work for the encyclopaedia: it is not a free web space to post a web page unrelated to work for Wikipedia.
 * 4) Both your editing and your user name indicate that this account represents an organisation, which is unacceptable, as Wikipedia policy requires an account to be only for an individual person. You should therefore not continue to edit using this account.
 * 5) Before doing any more editing relating to your organisation you should read Wikipedia's guideline on conflict of interest. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 17:40, 23 September 2017 (UTC)
