Hello, Acmevuk. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may need to consider our guidance on conflicts of interest.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. This relates to pages on artists affiliated with the Galerija naivne umetnosti in Kovačica AllyD (talk) 19:01, 6 September 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Alžbeta Čižikova


A tag has been placed on Alžbeta Čižikova requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites 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 modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Promotion
You appear to have gotten a very poor start with your career here at Wikipedia. You are apparently here to promote the artists of the Gallery of Naïve Art in Serbia (to which you have actually admitted), which violates Wikipedia's policies. In doing so, you have also violated Wikipedia's copyright policies, and its policies regarding biographies of living people. Please take a step back and review the relevant policies before you continue editing. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 19:31, 6 September 2012 (UTC)

Reliable sources
Acme,

As I pointed out in my reply to you on my talk page, artist biographies from the gallery website are not reliable sources. Artists generally write their own biographies for such publications, and are free to write just about anything they please about themselves. If the gallery edits them at all, it is to make them more promotional so as to entice buyers to purchase this artist's work. While this is a perfectly legitimate use of such a website, it is not appropriate for Wikipedia. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 16:10, 7 September 2012 (UTC)

Wikidan61,

Thank you for reply. Naive art gallery is the only Museum of Naive Art in Serbia. I understand your point, but tell me please, if they are not selling any work of the artists, would they be reliable? And ,please, I don't really want to make Zuzana Chalupova page to be deleted, but there is the same source. They are not selling Zuzana Chalupova or Jan Husarik or other Artist (far as I know)... thay are only institution in Serbia for preservation of naive art. I was there, and i really fell in love with beautiful colored art, and I try to find out more about artist. Naive Art Gallery gave me few addresses and I paid a visit to them. Trust me, they all peasants ,poor people, knowing only for work on a field and painting at home. But they are good, and I mean really good. Zuzana Chalupova is not the only good painter from Kovacica, trust me. Well, ok. I try to find more about them on Net, no big results (only in Slovak language), and then I realized, it would be much better to make Wiki page about each one of them. I am sorry for this deleting, and I understand the rules of Wiki. Acmevuk
 * This sounds more like a museum than an art gallery. But if the biographies are written by the artists themselves rather than by museum curators, they can't be considered reliable sources.   WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 21:32, 7 September 2012 (UTC)


 * I really don't think so. More than a half of them are dead long time ago. Also, everything is written in a same mood like: He/She finished only five grades of elementary school. He/she was/is a naive painter of Slovak origin and so on. I think that main point about Gallery/Museum issue is that if they are Museum, they get income only from the entrance fee, on the other side, Gallery can sell brochures or books. You must understand, there is completely different way of living, especially in the Art world.
