Help me!

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

I need help ASAP moving a page, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_House_(Adams,_Massachusetts), so that I can change the name to Susan B. Anthony Birthplace Museum and make other edits to the article.

Please help me with...moving the page since the article title, Anthony House, is incorrect. It should be Susan B. Anthony Birthplace Museum. An unauthorized person made the incorrect title.

(Where does the answer for my question appear? Where do I look for the answer to this question about moving and re-titling the page?)

Hello! If you couldn't tell, the answer to your question appears right here! (For more information on the notifications system, see WP:PING.) Page titles on Wikipedia are governed by the WP:Article titles policy. In this case, the relevant section is WP:COMMONNAME. In short, Wikipedia article names are decided on based on the most commonly used name for the subject. If, after reading the article titles policy, you think that you could convince anyone who may ask that your title is most commonly used name, you can WP:MOVE the page. (You need to have made 10 edits and have an account that is more than 4 days old to do this.) If you have any issues doing this, or any questions, you can ask for help again, or ask me specifically at my talk page.

On another note, are you connected in any way with the Museum? If you are (and it is perfectly fine if you are), please read WP:PSCOI.

Happy editing! -- AntiCompositeNumber (Leave a message) 20:38, 9 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Cynwhitty. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article Susan B. Anthony Birthplace Museum‎, 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. Binksternet (talk) 22:45, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
