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. Longhair\talk 20:39, 13 June 2018 (UTC)

I have been asked by my employer the Carolina Music Museum to add information about the museum on Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.85.107.193 (talk • contribs)
 * Doing so would be in violation of our terms of use and of WP:COI and WP:PAID. --Yamla - So how do we add our museum to Wikipedia? (talk) 13:02, 14 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Please reread WP:COI which goes into great detail here. --Yamla (talk) - I am not a paid editor or an external entity- I am the Director of Operations at the Museum. If I cannot add us to Wikipedia, who can? 13:35, 14 June 2018 (UTC)
 * That's the very definition of a paid editor. Who could create the article? Someone who has no conflict of interest. So, someone not employed by the museum and not acting on behalf of the museum. --Yamla (talk) 13:44, 14 June 2018 (UTC)
 * So how can someone not affiliated with the museum have knowledge of the extensive historical significance and background of the instruments contained in the museum? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tonia Hubbard (talk • contribs)
 * By following WP:VERIFIABILITY. They would rely on reliable citations. If no reliable sources are available, the information should not be added to the encyclopedia. --Yamla (talk) 14:07, 14 June 2018 (UTC)
