Conflict of interest
Please familiarize yourself with the Conflict of interest guideline, which seems to apply to your edits. —ADavidB 16:04, 15 December 2017 (UTC)

Hi. I have read all of the conflict of interest guidelines. My name is Meagan Downey, and though I work for Robinson Nature Center, I was very careful to not submit any edits that are based in opinion. I have not submitted any edits that are propaganda. They are all facts. If you believe my edits to be propoganda, please let me know which parts are opinion, and I will remove those. I am only trying to make wikipedia's listing accurate as it was wrong and the information was inaccurate. My current username which is blocked is robinsonnaturecenter Robinsonnaturecenter (talk) 16:38, 15 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Here, you state, "unique nature education facility", "innovative water conservation methods," "This Center was made a reality through the foresight and generosity of James and Anne Robinson." These smack of marketing speak, rather than something that belongs in an encyclopedia. There's nothing wrong with that, of course. That sort of language should definitely go in marketing material. It's just, Wikipedia isn't the place for marketing. --Yamla (talk) 16:56, 15 December 2017 (UTC)

Hi Yamla. Thank you for letting me know. I had copied that text from our website, and, yes, I do agree that there are adjectives in that description that are more subjective. I apologize. I can remove that language and will be diligent in not posting any adjectives in additional information I submit to the entry. The last thing I was going to do was to update the picture on the listing as the picture shows native plant meadows that do not look that way anymore. Is this something wikipedia will allow, or am I still blocked indefinitely? I hope all the other information I provided to update the site you and the other administrators found helpful. Again, as an employee, I have access to documents that the general public does not, so I find it hard to understand how the general public would be able to create a better entry for this site. I do not want my edits to be taken in any way as propoganda, I simply want to make sure when people search wikipedia, they get information that matches the correct information (ie they don't come expecting 178 parking spots like the site said we had, when we only have 112!) If allowed to edit the site from time to time, I would update it with appropriate information should the entry become inaccurate again.
 * You need to pick a new username, one that doesn't imply it's an official account of the company or a "role" account. As to what you've listed here, we actually require all information added to Wikipedia is verifiable. The policies here are WP:V, WP:RS, and WP:CITE. In the case where the number of parking spots is wrong but that information is not available for verification, you should bring this up on the article's talk page (after disclosing your conflict of interest, of course). Now, in the particular case of parking spaces, look, nobody's going to care if you just update it. But consider something more contentious. Let's say your nature center has the world's last remaining black orchid. Only one in the world! But there's no reliable citation for this. You know it is there, but nobody else does. Sure, visitors can come and see it, but this information is not yet verifiable. It fails WP:V. Therefore, that can't be added. --Yamla (talk) 21:43, 15 December 2017 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy or request a change of username. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. Thank you. -- Ed (Edgar181) 16:10, 15 December 2017 (UTC)
