Your username

Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. This is a message to let you know that your username, "ANMMuseum", may not comply with Wikipedia's username policy. Please note that the following types of usernames are prohibited:

• Promotional usernames: Those which match the name of a company, organization, group, website or product (e.g. "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", "Foobar Museum of Art"). However, you are allowed to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you personally (e.g. "Jack Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", "FoobarFan87").
• Usernames implying shared use: Those which directly imply shared access between people (e.g. "Jack and Jill's Account"), or match names of posts within groups or organizations (e.g. "Secretary of the XY Foundation").
• Misleading usernames: Those which contain suffixes like "bot" or "script" and imply an account is that of an automated bot when it is not, or titles like "admin" or "sysop" (implying a position of authority), or match names of living people that you are not, such as famous living people. If you are a famous person editing under your real name and your account is blocked from editing, please note that this is not to discourage you from editing, but rather to prevent any potentially damaging impersonation of you.
• Offensive and disruptive usernames: Those which contain words or phrases that are likely to offend other contributors, directly threaten or attack another person or some entity, contain contentious material about living persons, or otherwise imply you do not intend to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia (e.g. "JohnIsAJerk", "WannabeWikipediaVandal").

For more information, see Wikipedia's username policy.

Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people, and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, website, person or other entity, nor do we tolerate any other 'bad faith' editing such as trolling or other disruptive behavior, regardless of your username. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. If you do not understand which part of the policy your username may be violating, please don't hesitate to ask. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username by completing this form, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. Ariconte (talk) 04:43, 29 January 2018 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, ANMMuseum. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Australian National Maritime Museum, 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, company, organization or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
• disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
• 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 must 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 WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. BilCat (talk) 03:23, 5 March 2019 (UTC)

There have been two problems with this account: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group or a web site, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing.

If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy. Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In that reason, you must:

• Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked.
• Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. DlohCierekim 04:18, 5 March 2019 (UTC)

Usernames

Hi! It is really exciting for me to see that the National Maritime Museum is helping with Wikipedia - having assistance from the Australian GLAM sector is invaluable for what we're trying to build here. There is a problem with the username you've picked, though, and we need to look to see if it is possible to have that changed. The problem is to do with copyright. Under Wikipedia, all content is released under a Creative Commons Attribution license. That means that the project is legally required to attribute all contributions. When an account looks like it may be used by a number of people we lose the ability to properly attribute their contributions, as the one account could represent more than one person. We don't need a person's actual name, (otherwise I would be in trouble), but Wikipedia does need to know that the account has only one person at the other end.

On those grounds we accept accounts representing a company or a role within that company. Would it be possible to change the username on this account to represent one person? No real names are required, just the clarification that we are attributing contributions to the person who made them. I'm happy to help with this process, to unblock the account, and to assist with editing here in any way that I can. - Bilby (talk) 04:16, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for the explanation - we were just wanting to update some incorrect links but understand the conflict of interest and copyright issues with our current username. Have requested a new user name via form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest.

ANMMuseum (talk) 05:40, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

That's great. I don't see an issue with updating links - while in a sense it is a conflict of interest, what you were doing was fine and very valuable. - Bilby (talk) 06:00, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

Note that you can also - and are welcome to - add your links to Wikidata, like this: [1]. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 13:18, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing the username issue - I've unblocked your account. If you need any assistance just let me know or post something here, and we'll be very happy to help. - Bilby (talk) 13:23, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Australian National Maritime Museum building with new branding.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Australian National Maritime Museum building with new branding.jpg, which you've attributed to Australian National Maritime Museum. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 12:35, 27 July 2019 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello BaileyJillSmith, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to Australian National Maritime Museum have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

• You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
• Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
• Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
• If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
• Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps in Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate. See also Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 12:40, 27 July 2019 (UTC)

Hi Diannaa talk, thanks for your feedback. Apologies if i'm a bit incorrect in posting (or responding to you) but i haven't used wiki for ages. I'm hoping you can clarify how we can resolve this issue - i work at the Australian National Maritime Museum, and as our page hadn't been updated for a looooong time i was tasked with updating the copy, links and imagery on the page. The couple of images i uploaded we definitely have copyright to as we took the photos ourselves, with our own in-house photographer (whose name i credited when uploading) to promote / market the museum. I thought i had filled in the correct information required, but it appears not. If you could please let me know exactly what information is required (and in what steps - it's not very clear when uploading), that would be fantastic.

Apart from the imagery, is there any way that just the copy + links i updated could be published? The museum has had a rebrand since the very old info that's on the page was updated, and as visitors use Google & wiki to get their information on us before visiting, it's really important that we are able to update.

Hoping you can help - Danielle, Australian National Maritime Museum, Digital Marketing Dept. :) BaileyJillSmith (talk) 07:16, 30 July 2019 (UTC)

You can most certainly make edit requests on the talk page. --TheSandDoctor ^Talk 06:27, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
