Hi, I assume you were the ip editor as well as the edits afterwards on The Society of Arts and Crafts of Boston. You cannot just copy material from other websites to Wikipedia. See Copyright violations. So you will need to re-write in your won words, not just copy and tweak. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 15:36, 19 September 2015 (UTC)

Hello. I am an intern under Tess Mattern working at the Society of Arts and Crafts. We are interested in sprucing up our wikipedia page and would like to be able to add more accurate information, as posted on our website. We are the original authors of the content of our website, so we would not be violating copy right laws. (talk)


 * Hi, as you have indicated your link to the society you need to be aware of Wikipedias Conflict of interest policy. Secondly although 'you' own the copyright you can not still just copy to Wikipedia. Information added to Wikipedia is posted as free content for all to use, thus it can not be used just to publish copyrighted material you own. Frankly the area of copyright is confusing but my understanding is unless the source clearly states the material is free for use with a licence as mentioned on Copyright violations then it can not be used, and other editors are likely to remove. If the society wished to donate the martial see WP:DONATETEXT for help. For further help/suggestions I would suggest asking at the Wikipedia Teahouse - Regards KylieTastic (talk) 16:07, 19 September 2015 (UTC)

Hi Kylie. Thank you for your input. We are now editing the page with information from other books that have written about SAC. Our goal is only to share the history of this 118-year nonprofit organization more fully, not to promote it in any way. We will look into the donation of material.
