Hello, I'm Arcendeight. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Florence Griswold Museum have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse or the Help desk. This is not appropriately encyclopedic content. The article is not to be used as a noticeboard. Arcendeight (talk) 21:25, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to Florence Griswold Museum. Your edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism can result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Materialscientist (talk) 21:28, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome!

Hello, Tammi Flynn, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Florence Griswold Museum, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, visit the Teahouse, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Again, welcome! ‍—‍a smart kitten_[meow] 22:24, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Additionally, as mentioned above, unfortunately the museum's Wikipedia article is not the appropriate place to announce the museum's temporary closure in this way. On a side note, regarding the concerns raised in your edit summary here, I googled the museum myself just now and it appears Google already shows a 'temporarily closed' notice above the Wikipedia article's summary - therefore, hopefully, potential visitors searching for it will be made aware of the current closure without any edits needing to be made to its article :) All the best, ‍—‍a smart kitten_[meow] 22:30, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
