Hello @Chaotic Enby!

I work for this Association and wanted to update our Wikipedia page ! I updated the list of gallery members and added the mission + history of the organization. Can you tell me why you judged my modifications weren't relevant please ? 173.178.137.27 (talk) 19:51, 1 December 2023 (UTC)

Hello! Thanks for wanting to contribute on Wikipedia! The issue is that the text was copy-pasted from the website, and written in a promotional tone, two things that are not expected of Wikipedia articles. Reformulating the text in a less promotional tone will make for an excellent contribution! Since you have a connection to the association, you shouldn't edit the article directly, but instead propose changes here on the talk page! Good luck editing, ChaotıċEnby(t · c) 19:53, 1 December 2023 (UTC)

Ok so I must reply here with a 2.0 version of our mission and history and you will be the one posting it ? :) LaurianneLalonde (talk) 19:57, 1 December 2023 (UTC)

Yep that's it, provided it's factual and avoids the promotional tone! ChaotıċEnby(t · c) 19:58, 1 December 2023 (UTC)

Also, for the list of gallery members : could you approve the change i made or do you need me to list it again here ? LaurianneLalonde (talk) 19:58, 1 December 2023 (UTC)

LaurianneLalonde, to clarify Chaotic Enby's message above, if you are editing on behalf of your employer then you must make the required disclosures before editing further. Once complete, requests for changes to the article should be made on the article talk page (i.e. Talk:Association des galeries d'art contemporain (AGAC), not here. WP:PAY explains how to do so.-- Ponyo^{bons mots} 20:02, 1 December 2023 (UTC)

I need to update the list of gallery members of the Association because the one display on the page is outdated. I do have the rights to use the "Mission" and "History" text displayed on our website for the Wikipedia page of our Association. How should I process ?
