Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Katmil2020, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Maja Krzic (Scientist) has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.


 * 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 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 designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Donating copyrighted materials.
 * In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk 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 can, but please follow the steps in 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. — Ninja Diannaa (Talk) 15:59, 22 September 2016 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Maja Krzic.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Maja Krzic.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the file description page and add the text   below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing   with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
 * 2) On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 01:40, 24 September 2016 (UTC)

IA Summit, Vancouver
Hi Fellow Wikimedians,

The 2017 Information Architecture Summit team is in Vancouver next month. We are planning a Wikipedia session on diversity and would like to invite local members of the Wikimedia Vancouver Meetup to participate. I am a member of the Wikimedia NYC chapter and am developing both informational and hands on sessions for conference participants. You would not need to have a conference ticket to attend these sessions. Please see below for information about the event and please let me know if you or any of your students or colleagues are interested in participating.

The IA Summit is an annual conference of the Association for Information Science and Technology (ASIS&T). It will be held at the Hyatt Regency Vancouver on March 22-26. We have two Wikipedia sessions planned. One on Saturday afternoon, March 25, will align with the theme of diversity in information architecture and UX design. It is tentatively scheduled for 3:30pm. We are still adjusting the schedule. We plan to invite speakers studying knowledge organization and information behavior in diverse populations. The Wikipedia Session will cover efforts by The Wikimedia Foundation to improve the creation and discovery of content about underrepresented groups. I'll be talking about Women in Red, Art+Feminism, Wiki Loves Pride and AfroCROWD and will introduce Project: Information Architecture. It would be nice if someone from Wikimedia Vancouver were available to present the results of the Women in Science event this past Fall.

On Sunday, March 26, we will host a lunch session that will be a more traditional Wikipedia editathon. This will give attendees an opportunity to learn about editing, tools that may be useful to Information architects and knowledge professionals and also be a way to make a meaningful contribution to the encyclopedia.

Student volunteers and facilitators would be welcome to attend these sessions or help out at the Wikipedia table in the exhibit hall. This is a great opportunity for community engagement at one of the premier Information Architecture conferences.

I am reaching out to people who signed up for the Women in Science event via email (if I can reach them) and talk pages. If there are others you think might be interested, please let me know. We are also still seeking brief lightning talks on diversity and discovery.
