Hello, I'm Omni Flames. I noticed that in this edit to National Gallery of Victoria, you removed content without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Omni Flames (talk) 04:52, 14 July 2016 (UTC)

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to National Gallery of Victoria, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear constructive and has been reverted. Please make use of the sandbox if you'd like to experiment with test edits. Thank you.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove content, templates, or other materials to Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to National Gallery of Victoria, you may be blocked from editing. Omni Flames (talk) 05:07, 14 July 2016 (UTC)

Hi Omni Flamnes, I am an employee of the National Gallery of Victoria tempting to make factual edits to our page. The information we are providing is current and relevant. Could you please remove your restrictions on our edits? Thank you.

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Cmngv1, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to National Gallery of Victoria has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.

• 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 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 designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk 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 can, but please follow the steps in 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) 18:33, 15 July 2016 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Cmngv1. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article National Gallery of Victoria, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:

• avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
• instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
• when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
• avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
• exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 18:33, 15 July 2016 (UTC)

• You are not handling this well, and are likely to continue to be reverted. Your invariable edit summary "The National Gallery of Victoria is making minor edits to ensure the Wikipedia pages reflects the most recent accurate information" is downright misleading when you are removing large chunks of up to 7K bytes. Other editors don't like this at all. You need to junk that and go on the talk page and explain what you are doing. Johnbod (talk) 11:31, 14 August 2016 (UTC)

Assistance Required for updates to NGV

Hi Wikipedia community,

We here at the NGV would like to update our Wikipedia page to ensure this reflect the most accurate and up to date information for our audiences. We have tried making these changes, but are repeatedly denied. Would some be able to please assist us in this as we understand that we have a conflict of interest and therefore may be unable to action these changes.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you.
