Hello, I'm Theroadislong. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to National Museums Scotland have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

Hello, Theroadislong I'm sorry to hear that. I was simply trying to add relevant and up to date information about the galleries in the museums. Would it be suitable to add back some of the basic gallery information, without the links?

If you have reliable secondary sources yes, Wikipedia is only concerned with what has been reported by others, NOT what the museum says about itself. Theroadislong (talk) 11:27, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Theroadislong I wasn't aware of these publishing rules, as am fairly new to Wikipedia. Will take these into account going forward. Kind regards.
