Sydney Symphony Orchestra

I noticed that your edit at Sydney Symphony Orchestra was reverted. I have not examined the issue, but it appears your edit broke the infobox (the information summary box at the top-right) because your version shows a red link (page does not exist) instead of the SSO logo. We have to be "civil" in how we refer to other editors, so I need to speak with some circumlocution, but the person who reverted your editor appears to be rather challenged concerning standard procedures in some places I've noticed, so their revert may or may not be desirable.

The real reason I'm posting this is that two things are obvious: your update about 2013/2014 is needed, but you have a user name problem. At Wikipedia, each user is supposed to be here to build the encyclopedia. It's fine to be mostly interested in orchestras, or even mostly interested in one orchestra. But a user name that suggests a connection (an official representative) is not satisfactory for a couple of reasons. First, there is no way to verify that the title is accurate, and second, the title suggests the user (you) is more interested in looking after the SSO than the encyclopedia. A third problem, is that a name like that may suggest a "group", whereas each user name must represent a single person who is responsible for all edits made by the account. The simplest course of action is to abandon this account and make another. Or, you can ask for this account to be renamed. See WP:UN for the full story. You can ask at WP:HELPDESK for how to information, or if you reply here wihin a day or two I will probably notice. Johnuniq (talk) 07:09, 30 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, Sydney Symphony Orchestra. I've left a reply to your post at WikiProject Classical music. I've made the updates and have elaborated at the WikiProject's talk page on the further work that needs to be done on the article. I also second Johnuniq's advice. You need to change your name pronto. By the way, another good place to get help is The Teahouse. The editors there (or "hosts" as they call themselves) can be very friendly and helpful.
