PS I like your dedication to the page of the The Ukrainian Museum but most of what you've posted so far is unencyclopedic. Please bone up on our rules before you edit, or you'll end up throwing away a lot of hard work. --Kevlar (talk • contribs) 20:36, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

1. How does one post a question on your talk page? Or mine, for that matter. Is one supposed to code it by editing the page? It seems an odd way to add a message. 2. The title of my entry is "The Ukrainian Museum", which is the correct legal name of the organization. However, when doing a search on simply "Ukrainian Museum," this Museum is not among the Wiki results. It seems that the article "The" must be typed in too. If there is no way to have it come up in searches on "Ukrainian Museum", then it would be better to change the page title to "Ukrainian Museum, The". Unless, of course, the article "The" keeps it from being found that way too. Please advise. 3. I modified some of the content so that it's more "encyclopedic". Let me know if there's more to fix. 4. Can you email a response to me, or must I always check this talk page for the answers? - Thanks!


 * Yes, by editing the page, same as you just did when you used the helpme template
 * 1) You can create a redirect at the page titled Ukranian Museum (if that page doesn't already exist. Otherwise you need to create a disambiguation page)
 * 2) I'll let someone else look over the article; I'm busy rewriting
 * 3) Responses can be emailed, but most people prefer to use talk pages. If you have new messages, you will be notified on any page that you load after the new message is left on your talk page. Prince of Canadat 23:52, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

1. You asked: 'How does one post a question on your talk page? Click on the link next to my username that says "talk" in my signature at the end of this message. Once you are at my talk page click on "new section" and start typing.

2. About the title This has been fixed with a "redirect". It might be useful to make a disambiguation page. For an example see Ukrainian Village, a related topic.

3. How to improve the article. The most important rule is that all the information you add must be verifiable: it should come from a reliable secondary source. It should also be from a neutral point of view (i.e. not promotion OR critique) [This means you're not to write free advertising for your favourite museum by writting about how great it's collection is. But you can dispationately describe it's collection and, if there are sources, explain if it is considered important by outside authorities]. It should also be relevant to an encyclopedia (ask yourself: How is the information relevant to a first-time reader? Am I straying into a tourist guide or yellow-pages or journalistic style of writting?). In the specific case of The Ukrainian Museum, I would recomend looking at more well-established articles about museums on WP, (e.g. MOMA or V&A) and see what you can gleen from them. A good idea would be to check out WikiProject Museums and see if they can offer more specific suggestions regarding layout and formatting as well and content.

4. WP will automatically tell you if someone that written on your talk page every time you log in (if you have the right options turned on). I hope that helps, good luck! --Kevlar (talk • contribs) 23:45, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

I have rewitten this article, which you have been involved in editing, because the text was taken verbatim from the Museum's website and was therefore a copyright violation. Wikipedia's policies do not allow cutting-and-pasting from other copyrighted websites. If you are connected with the museum, and have received permission to use this material, you must contact OTRS to verify that permission. However, if you are connected to the Museum, you need to be familiar with our policies on editing with a conflict of interest. If you have questions about what I've written, please let me know.
