When adding links to material on an external site, please ensure that the external site is not violating the creator's copyright. Linking to websites that display copyrighted works is acceptable as long as the website's operator has created or licensed the work. Knowingly directing others to a site that violates copyright may be considered contributory infringement. This is particularly relevant when linking to sites such as YouTube, where due care should be taken to avoid linking to material that violates its creator's copyright. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. See  -- Mark Chovain 04:37, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Dear Mark Chovain

Thanks for your message. This is to confirm that I'm the copyright holder of the material used in my article "NONCONFORMIST ART FROM ODESSA, UKRAINE IN 1970's" added to 'Soviet Nonconformist Art' yesterday May 2nd. And I'm also the owner of the outside source http://www.artodessa.com, it is my website. How do you want me to prove it?

Regards. Vladimir Asriev

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Artwatch. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Artwatch~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 22:10, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
