New York Botanical Garden

Hi, you recently added a lot of copyrighted text to the article on New York Botanical Garden. As the PR person from the place in question, do you actually have the permission to copy this text under the GNU Free Documentation License? (Either way the text will have to be rewritten to an extent to meet our manual of style guidelines and neutrality policies). I've reverted the edit for the moment until you can clarify the copyright status. If you want to contact me just add a message to the bottom of my talk page. Thanks. --Wafulz 23:09, 29 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for the response. If you and your team have edited the text to meet the above guidelines, then feel free to re-submit it- just try to keep in mind that you should avoid making it sound like an advertisement, and avoid the use of peacock terms. I'll probably be perusing through the article later on as well, so I could volunteer my efforts into formatting it properly. About the fact sheet: typically fact sheets tend to be long and not properly formatted for an encyclopedia article, so they are usually better left as resources rather than actual text (ie, the fact sheet could be cited as a source). I suggest that you post the URL to the fact sheet on the article's talk page (Talk:New York Botanical Garden). Just add it to the bottom of the page, and sign your with four tildes, which will automatically become a signature (for example, if I type ~~~~, then it will produce "Wafulz 04:12, 3 February 2007 (UTC)"). Again, if you have any questions, just add a comment to the bottom of my talk page, and make sure to sign it. Thanks. --Wafulz 04:12, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

June 8: NYBG Environment of The Bronx - Editing Wikipedia for Beginners

Wednesday June 8, 11am-5pm: New York Botanical Garden - Environment of the Bronx - Editing Wikipedia for Beginners

Hello Kikstad! The LuEsther T. Mertz Library of the New York Botanical Garden and the Environment of New York City Task Force invite you and the general public of all experience levels to come to the Mertz Library in person and learn how to use Wikipedia! All skill levels welcome at the event! Experienced Wikipedia editors from the Wikimedia New York City chapter will be in attendance and available to help. A one hour training session will be offered at the start of this event covering introductory topics. Attendees familiar with editing Wikipedia can edit off of a worklist focused on the environment of New York City; as well as, a sub-list focused on the environment of the Bronx. The Mertz Library will pull topical media from their collection to assist the editing.
