User talk:Blackrock666

Welcome!
Hello, Blackrock666, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Jill Mulleady, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article.&#32;Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
 * The plain and simple conflict of interest guide
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * Tutorial
 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
 * Simplified Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date.

Hello, I'm Justlettersandnumbers. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person   on Jill Mulleady, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 19:45, 12 December 2019 (UTC)
 * I don't know if you read this, but you seem not to have understood it: put simply, you may not add private or personal information about any living person unless it is supported by an appropriate independent reliable source. Unsourced personal info you added to Jill Mulleady has been removed, though for another reason (see below). Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 15:31, 13 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Also, if you have some personal or professional connection to this person, you must disclose it. Thank you, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 15:31, 13 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi Justlettersandnumbers, I did read your message and I edited it back adding references, I have no relationship to Jill Mulleady and I'm editing the page from very reliable sources like the websites of all the institutions that are mentioned. On which terms would you dismiss a biography that is validated by it's own founders like UCLA, Kunsthalle Bern or The Metropolitan Museum of Art? Have you taken the time to read at the references and sources?
 * The artist is from Swiss nationality and you are also deleting that which is a mistake you are doing.
 * The quote about her work was an official text disclosed by The Venice Biennale and it's in no way personal or subjective. It's a formality from any artist's wikipedia. Please stop deleting information that is relevant for users. Your edit made the artist page very inaccurate as you also deleted her nationality. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Blackrock666 (talk • contribs) 17:20, 13 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi, Blackrock666! I see that English is not your first language. Let me try to explain two things: you may not copy stuff from other websites into Wikipedia; and you may not add unsourced personal detail about living people. Your editing privileges may be revoked if you continue doing either of those things.
 * You say you have no connection to Mulleady; so may I ask how you know that she has dual Swiss and Uruguayan nationality? Which source did you find that in? Also, I can't help noticing that you have to date made no edit on any other topic.
 * Neutrality is one of our core principles here. Please follow the blue link to understand why I would have removed the pretentious artspeak about "... a strange feeling of merged, multiplied temporalities ... and so on even if it had not been a copyright violation (which it was). Yes, it's on the Biennale website, but it presumably was supplied by the artist or her agents, and it is not remotely suitable for inclusion in an encyclopaedia. Take care, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 18:01, 13 December 2019 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Blackrock666, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to Jill Mulleady have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.


 * You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
 * Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
 * Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Copyrights. You may also want to review Copy-paste.
 * If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Donating copyrighted materials.
 * In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
 * Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps in Translation. See also Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 15:25, 13 December 2019 (UTC)
