Important: copyright violations!
Your addition to Rubin Museum of Art has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia.

Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Beyond My Ken (talk) 22:56, 8 September 2012 (UTC)


 * I have removed the entire "Conferences" section because significant amounts of it have been cut and pasted directly from the Rubin Museum of Art website. Please not that copying material directly from other website is strictly not allowed.  You may use facts gleaned from other websites, but you must express those facts in a new and novel way. DO NOT RESTORE THIS MATERIAL OR YOU MAY BE SUBJECT TO BEING BLOCK FROM FURTHER EDITING, and any further incidences of copyright violation or too-close paraphrasing will be looked on very seriously.  Please see WP:COPYVIO for our policy on this subject. Beyond My Ken (talk) 23:00, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

In response to your feedback
Could you please explain the situation a little more? No one can do anything about it if you do not explain the situation.

 * I'm almost certain that I am the "crazed editor" referred to in the feedback message. If you look at the section above this, you'll see that I removed a substantial amount of material from the Rubin Museum of Art article because it was a straight lift from the museum's website, which has made Kf2240 unhappy. Unfortunately, the policy on WP:copyright violations is very strict, and complaining about it on the "moodbar" won't change that.  Beyond My Ken (talk) 14:03, 24 January 2013 (UTC)


 * As per our conversation, again, this material was not "lifted" from any website and was a result of research I personally conducted by contacting the museum, compiling a list of conferences and sourcing those facts (dates, conference titles and participants) from outside sources. If the list was partially unsourced, it was because I was in the process of adding information when the entire section was removed. If you can find the table that I supposedly stole from the Rubin website, please send me a link to that table. The fact that the official website of an organization coincides with information that I found and uploaded should only serve to further prove its validity. Unfortunately, I no longer have time to participate in this silly exchange and will cease to try to add useful information to the article.
 * Your claim to have assembled that material yourself is not believable, especially when the exact same information was sitting on the museumn's website. Beyond My Ken (talk) 19:40, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Alright. I understand what happened now. Please don't plagarize, Kf2240. Thanks! Austinuity (talk) 12:06, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
