You should attribute the content of a draft to outside sources, using citations, but copying and pasting or closely paraphrasing sources is not acceptable. The entire draft should be written using your own words and structure. Note to reviewers: do not leave copyright violations sitting in the page history. Please follow the instructions here.

You are welcome to write an article on the subject, but please do not use copyrighted work.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Penrith and Eden Museum (October 4)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Chrissymad was:

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Even with CV removed this is rather promotional and reads like a tour guide.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Penrith and Eden Museum and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Wikipedia is not a guidebook

Hello. Please note that Wikipedia's policies on avoiding conflicts of interest, promotion, guidebook style language and soapboxing have not materially changed since Jim1138 and Charlesdrakew first drew your attention to those guidelines some years ago. The continued use of promotional and subjective language ("prestigious", "iconic", "spectacular", etc) and guidebook flourishes and content (like adding entrance fees or encouraging readers to "check seasonal opening times") is just not on. Stop adding this type of content. Guliolopez (talk) 23:50, 2 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Penrith and Eden Museum (COI/COPYVIO/etc)

Hello. This edit represented:

a verbatim copy and paste from the source. Verbatim copying from sources (or even close paraphrasing from sources) is a violation of copyright. Please don't do it.
editoral and commentary. Whether or not something is "interesting" is a matter for the reader to determine for themselves. Leading the reader by editorialising is an issue relative to related policies and guidelines. Please don't do it.
a concern relative to other guidelines as well. Including those relating to lose references to time that would date quickly or to promotional tone. Please watch that.

I have addressed the concern by redrafting and moving the content. I'm not sure its reasonable to continue to expect other editors to do this.

In general, given your (apparently) self-declared association with the subject, you might also want to take a(nother) look at the related guidelines on dealing with potential conflicts of interest. Thanks. Guliolopez (talk) 10:46, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. As per my note above, there is already a statement in the article establishing that the "museum is based in a former school building, known as Robinson's School, which first opened in 1670". Restating this, with a suggestion that the reader should consider this to be a "long time" or find it "interesting" is unnecessary editorial. Separately, I would recommend please re-reading the guidelines on COI (and not using Wikipedia to promote subjects with which you have an association), on REFSPAM (adding links to websites with which you have an association or to drive traffic to something you might have written outside of Wikipedia), and NOTNEWS (which doesn't support mirroring every news story about a subject in a subject's "in the media" section).
