User talk:APArtAdvisory

Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Simplified Manual of Style
 * Task Center – need some ideas of what kind of things need doing? Go here.

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
 * Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! Unbroken Chain (talk) 14:41, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

Other concerns
-- Hoary (talk) 00:33, 14 December 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) The depth of your knowledge of Bruce Katsiff is extraordinary. (By comparison, when I think of any photographer whose work I know well, and might even have met, I don't know which boards they've been on and don't even know how I'd find out, other by asking them.) Do you know Katsiff, or are you related to him in some way?
 * 2) Your username, APArtAdvisory, sounds rather like the name of a commercial service. Is my guess correct?


 * 1. I know Bruce Katsiff as he is a local photographer that I thought was worthy and notable enough to warrant a Wikipedia article as he has contributed much to the Philadelphia-area's art culture. I am not related to Bruce Katsiff. I asked his permission to research materials on his history and background to create an article for him, in which he agreed.
 * 2. I work for an Art Advisory company in which we advise artists on how to navigate their art careers. APArtAdvisory (talk) 16:46, 14 December 2022 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your candour, but your answer to my second question prompts 's request in the thread below. Please respond to that before making any further edit to any article or draft. -- Hoary (talk) 22:14, 14 December 2022 (UTC)

Hello APArtAdvisory. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are  required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:APArtAdvisory. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. 331dot (talk) 17:03, 14 December 2022 (UTC)

As previously advised, your edits give the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. You were asked to cease editing until you responded by either stating that you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits, or by complying with the mandatory requirements under the Wikimedia Terms of Use that you disclose your employer, client and affiliation. Again, you can post such a disclosure on your user page at User:APArtAdvisory, and the template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. Please respond before making any other edits to Wikipedia. 331dot (talk) 16:07, 9 February 2023 (UTC)


 * My apologies as I just submitted an edited draft. Thank you for making me aware of the mandatory paid editing disclosure as I believe this does fall under that. How do I go about adding the appropriate disclosure to this article? APArtAdvisory (talk) 16:16, 9 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I just added the above template to our User page - please advise if this is correct. APArtAdvisory (talk) 16:21, 9 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I'll place it for you; you can copy it later onto the draft/article talk pages of any other drafts you may write. 331dot (talk) 16:23, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Draft:Bruce Katsiff


The page Draft:Bruce Katsiff has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appeared to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appeared to be a direct copy from https://museumforartinwood.org/about/leadership/ and https://www.amiepotsicartadvisory.com/virtual-exhibitions-blog/2022/8/5/virtual-exhibition-bruce-katsiff-nature-morte. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition has been be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

Please do not recreate the material without addressing these concerns, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If you think this page should not have been deleted for this reason, you may contact the, or if you have already done so, you may open a discussion at Deletion Review. – bradv  05:01, 10 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Hello,
 * Is there any way to get my draft back and make the appropriate copyright infringement edits and submit for review again? I did not mean to copyright, as I had sited the sources and apologize for any copyrighting. APArtAdvisory (talk) 12:57, 13 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Hello,
 * Please tell me how I can resubmit this for review. APArtAdvisory (talk) 16:15, 29 June 2023 (UTC)
