Hello Nabil vega! 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. 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.
 * We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
 * 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 either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably free and compatible copyright license. Please see Donating copyrighted materials.
 * 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 described at Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation.

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, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. ARandomName123 (talk)Ping me! 21:30, 24 December 2023 (UTC)

Uman
You don't get a person over our notability criteria by sourcing the content to short blurbs, the self-published websites of the galleries where she had shows, or Q&A interviews where she's talking about herself in the first person — the only kind of sourcing that helps to establish notability is detailed coverage (not blurbs) where somebody else (not her) writing for a third-party source (not the galleries) is analyzing her and her work in depth. The key is to understand that we're not looking for simple verification that her work exists, we're looking for evidence that her work has been independently assessed as significant by people who don't have a vested interest in promoting it (like herself or the galleries she's been associated with) — so what we need is detailed and in-depth media coverage about her and her work, not just gallery listings. Bearcat (talk) 01:10, 3 January 2024 (UTC)


 * should I take out the articles that are published by art gallery? Are interviews by Paris Review, Artnews, should I take out the pages from their gallery ? What makes the interview articles from those secondary sources credible?  not considered credible? I don't understand because there are articles with people who have similar level of articles with similar support e.g artist pages Matthew Wong. I am also not trying to get over on the notability criteria.  I mentioned that fact that queer black African artist from Somalia is represented by one of the biggest art galleries in the world and has mentions in these type of institutions is notable. If she wasn't as notable as she was none of these institutions would care about her or her work. Should i shorten the article and only use the non gallery based websites?

 * Hi Here are some articles that are independent of the artist and are not just passing mention and also they are going to have their first solo show at Museum that is listed in wikipedia

Outside the WikiCup, he had eight other featured articles, five A-class articles, eight other good articles, and two Four Awards. Vami also wrote an essay on completionism, a philosophy in which he deeply believed. If you can, please join us in honoring his memory by improving one of the articles on his to-do list.

Remember that any content promoted after 27 February but before the start of Round 2 can be claimed in Round 2. Invitations for collaborative writing efforts or any other discussion of potentially interesting work is always welcome on the WikiCup talk page. Remember, if two or more WikiCup competitors have done significant work on an article, all can claim points. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on WikiCup/Reviews Needed. If you want to help out with the WikiCup, feel free to review one of the nominations listed on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews Needed. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages. Good luck!
