Bode Museum
Hello, I removed some content you added to Bode Museum as you had copied it from https://www.nga.gov/research/library/imagecollections/features/kaiser-friedrich.html. Since the nga.gov TOU states "the contents of this Site, including all images and text, are for personal, educational, non-commercial use only, and may not be reproduced in any form without the permission of the National Gallery of Art" and Wikipedia cannot accept non-commercial content as we have a commercial license (CC BY-SA 3), content added from the site will end up getting removed. The best I can recommend is you follow the steps at WP:DONATETEXT about getting appropriately licensed content into Wikipedia. Moneytrees🏝️Talk/CCI guide 18:23, 19 November 2021 (UTC)

Thank you. Since I work in the department at the National Gallery that created that content I did not see it as plagiarism. Thank you. Gothic Goats (talk) 19:35, 19 November 2021 (UTC).

Destroyed paintings
You should be very cautious in adding faded b&w images of not-tremendously-important paintings to articles. The COI policy obliges you only to do so if you really think an independent editor would do the same, which was certainly not the case for your additions at Botticelli and Carpaccio, where the articles were already pretty full of better quality images, and there was also a gallery. Links and long caption texts to the source of a photo are for the image file, not the use of the image in articles. You should add the useful NGA feature to flak tower, ideally expanding the text there. Johnbod (talk) 18:49, 19 November 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for your comments. These paintings were destroyed so better quality images are not available. I understand your point. Gothic Goats (talk) 19:38, 19 November 2021 (UTC).
