Hello, I intend to expand on the exhibitions section of this page. A referenced exhibition history provides a clearer view of the programme at Inverleith House and a greater overview of the gallery's relationships and agenda. This is crucial to contextualise the gallery and its work. I would appreciate your views on how best to integrate this without it appearing 'promotional' Cupoftea25 (talk) 12:45, 19 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It would be fine to add some more detail as long as it is sourced to reliable third party references and NOT primary sources. Do you have any connection with the gallery? If so please read WP:COITheroadislong (talk) 12:53, 19 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I notice that we do not have interminable WP:LAUNDRY lists of exhibitions in our articles on major British galleries (the Tate, the NPG, the RA). One such was removed here by Theroadislong in March, which I thought was a good move; I personally would want to see very cogent reasons for restoring it or one like it. I'm afraid "agenda" is in general something we are quite determinedly not interested in here – please read WP:SOAP. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 17:14, 20 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, we spent time updating the page referencing third party sources. In spite of this they have since been removed. Is there anyway Inverleith House can provide accurate exhibition information without being assumed biased? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Inverleithhouse2015 (talk • contribs) 15:41, 30 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
OK, since there are so many of you, I'll try to answer this here instead of on your talk-page, where it really belongs.
You should avoid using more than one account, or editing while logged out; misuse of multiple accounts is against our policies, is called sockpuppetry here (follow the blue links to read about things), and can lead to loss of editing privileges. I believe it would be a good idea for you to confirm understanding of this here, on this page; and to declare which of the many single-purpose accounts that have edited here belong to you.
You may not share your user account: each account is for the sole use of one person; if there is more than one person, each should have an account (and stick to it – see above)
As you have a conflict of interest, you are strongly discouraged from editing the article directly, but are always welcome to propose changes on the talk page (i.e., here). You can attract the attention of other editors by putting {{request edit}} (exactly so, with the curly parentheses) at the beginning of your request, or by clicking the link on the lowest yellow notice above. Requests that are not supported by independent reliable sources are unlikely to be accepted.
Please also note that our Terms of Use state that "you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation." An editor who contributes as part of his or her paid employment is required to disclose that fact. It is an obligation, not an option.
How we try to work here is by agreeing between us what should be done, and then doing it. So if you want something to be added to the article and ask here for that to be done, you will need to persuade other editors that it will improve the encyclopaedia. If, for example, we have the wrong date of construction for the house, we will be very pleased to have that pointed out (with reliable sources) so that we can fix it.
If what you want to do is to promote your exhibitions, Wikipedia is not the place for you. This is not an advertising platform, and we devote considerable time and energy to maintaining, as far as we can, a neutral tone. For promotion you will meet much less resistance on your own website or a blog page or something like Facebook. I repeat my comment above: your agenda is in general something we are quite determinedly not interested in.
