You are more than welcome to continue making quality contributions to Wikipedia. Note that because you are a logged-in user, you can create articles yourself, and don't have to post a request. However, you may continue submitting work to Articles for Creation if you prefer.
Thank you for helping improve Wikipedia!

Hello, Carlapendergraft. We
welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things
you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a
conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. Editing for the purpose of advertising or promotion is not permitted. See the
conflict of interest guideline and
FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:
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).
Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Tornado chaser ( talk) 21:50, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
Hi Tornado chaser, I am very new to contributing to Wikipedia, but I totally agree with the COI rules. I am not affiliated with Magnolia Market. I receive no compensation of any sort from them. I am with the Waco Convention & Visitors Bureau, which is a government (municipal) agency - we are a department of the City of Waco. Our department provides unbiased information to visitors to the Waco area. We operate a Tourist Information Center as well. With Magnolia Market having close to 2 million visitors in 2017, it seemed a great lack to not have it mentioned in Wikipedia along with some basic background information. People are searching for solid information on it and its history. I cited everything very carefully using outside sources. Magnolia Market does report their visitor statistics to our office, so that is the one connection with them. We compile statistics on all attractions in Waco, using the figures they supply. I am hoping this meets with the COI rules. Thank you so much. Carlapendergraft ( talk) 22:06, 8 January 2018 (UTC)Carla Pendergraft
Thank you, Tornado chaser! No offense taken. I feel as if I did comply with COI and am trying to do a service to the Wikipedia community by making sure this particular attraction is included at least on a basic level. Not to promote it; just to provide basic information and history. So many articles have been written about Magnolia Market, and with 2 million visitors a year, it's visited by people from many countries and from throughout the United States. This article attempts to outline the history of the location, without any promotional language or intent. I hope that helps clarify. Thank you!

Hello. Your recent edit to
Waco, Texas appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person, organization or product added to a list
should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's
notability guideline. Thank you.
