Le musée des bus à Dewsbury moved to draftspace

edit

An article you recently created, Le musée des bus à Dewsbury, is not in French, not in English. I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article is in good enough English, and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Sorry, I meant to write "is in French", so I've struck through the "not". Seagull123 Φ 22:33, 29 November 2020 (UTC)Reply

Managing a conflict of interest

edit

  Hello, 24 Barnsley Road. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

  • avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
  • propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
  • disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
  • avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
  • do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Longhair\talk 21:45, 28 June 2021 (UTC)Reply

I do not see a conflict of interest here. The Museum is run by a registered charity and I am a volunteer for it. I get no payment from it. There is no other Wiki entry for the Museum and all the information within the article is factually correct. I have tried to include information and photographs of the museum and its vehicles that would be of interest to the general public and enthusiasts. I have not included any advertising for any products or events, other that pointing viewers to the bus museum's website. I hope that is OK. 24 Barnsley Road (talk) 11:44, 29 June 2021 (UTC)Reply
Thank you for your reply. A conflict of interest exists when an editor may be unduly influenced by their connection to a topic. It does not matter if you receive payment or not. While I am not suggesting this has occurred, as a volunteer for this organisation you may be influenced to portray the topic in a favourable light which would not adhere to the policy on neutral point of view. As a minimum may I ask that you declare your association with the museum on your user page so it is clear to other editors your association with the topic here thanks. If you require further information on the issues surrounding editing with a conflict of interest, see Wikipedia:Plain and simple conflict of interest guide. -- Longhair\talk 18:22, 29 June 2021 (UTC)Reply
hello Longhair. I have avoided embellishing the information about the museum and have based the entry on what I would expect to see if I were looking at another similar museum's entry. I would expect to see details of some of the exhibits, preferably with thumbnail pictures and a view of what I may expect to see if I went there. I think that you have removed the thumbnails and added links to Wiki pages of chassis with similar names. These are completely different to the exhibits at Dewsbury and may give the reader the false expectation that the vehicles featured on these linked pages are actually present when they are not. Also, have you moved the photograph of the doubledeckers into the "Collections" section? These vehicles are not all resident in the museum but visitors to our events so that is not the right place for them. I put it at the top as an example of what visitors may see when they arrive. I hope this is acceptable. Can you advise me on how to add a declaration to my user page please? 24 Barnsley Road (talk) 23:59, 29 June 2021 (UTC)Reply
I haven't actually edited the article beyond placing a cleanup notice on it over the past day, and adding it to a category. Another editor has performed a cleanup and moved your images to Wikimedia Commons. You can see the edit history of the article here. By clicking on the PREV button alongside each edit you'll be able to see the changes made and by whom.
If you add the text {{UserboxCOI|1=Dewsbury Bus Museum}} to your userpage, that'll add the appropriate notice.-- Longhair\talk 00:08, 30 June 2021 (UTC)Reply
