User talk:Profohs

Welcome!
Hello, Profohs, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.

Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

New to Wikipedia? Please consider taking a look at the our introductory tutorial or reviewing the contributing to Wikipedia page to learn the basics about editing. Below are a few other good pages about article creation.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions ask me on my talk page or you can just type help me on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome!

Note that the rules on en-wiki are much tighter than than on de-wiki. Your text had no in-line references at all and was full of opinions and speculations, rather than facts, and had a promotional tone. eg ''Profohs was an important model for her husband's works... She supported her husband's work intensively... she almost gave up her own career and faded into the background... already internationally recognised as a graphic artist and painter in the early 1950s; her works were purchased by renowned museums... Respect for her as a woman and recognition for her work were very important to her... created countless works, most of which have a socially critical background... She hardly ever worked in colour as she found this unsatisfactory: "[...] moreover, there is just as much
 * When you write about a person, you must provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that they meet the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the person or an associated organisation, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the person claims or interviewing them.
 * Note that references should be in-line so we can tell what fact each is supporting, and should not be bare urls.
 * You must write in a non-promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic, with verifiable facts, not opinions or reviews.
 * There shouldn't be any url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections.
 * You must not copy text from elsewhere. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. We require that text posted here can be used, modified and distributed for any purpose, including commercial; text is considered to be copyright unless explicitly stated otherwise. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient.

Before attempting to write an article again, please make sure that the topic meets the notability criteria linked above, and check that you can find independent third party sources. Also have a look at eg Etta Lemon or Pamela C. Rasmussen to see what a biography on en-wiki should look like. Jimfbleak - talk to me?  05:55, 17 October 2021 (UTC)


 * I've nominated all the images for speedy deletion as copyright violations at Commons. You claim them as your own work, but you can't be Prohus since she died some years ago, so that's clearly not true, and they are not out of copyright by date either.

 * I won't see messages here unless you start them with a link to my username, and sign with four tildes ~ in the same edit. If you wish to donate images to which you own the copyrights, see Donating_copyrighted_materials.


 * Other than that, I have little to add to what I posted above. You must have in-line references so we can verify what you have written, and your references must be independent published sources as described above, not family recollections, websites showing her images or similar non-independent or non-verifiable sources. Your original text wasn't dreadful, but completely lacked in-line refs, so we can't verify anything you have written. The tone was a bit promotional and you had far to many opinions where there should be facts, eg  Although women's themes were not particularly in demand at the time, Lotte Profohs' cycle was very well received. seems to be your opinions with nothing to substantiate either of the claims made Jimfbleak - talk to me?  05:32, 21 October 2021 (UTC)

Thank you Jimfbleak for your constructive feedback, reading all the text with your comments in mind, made me see what you mean. I am rewriting the whole text and will upload this publicly once I think it is ready. I removed all the pictures for now so we can focus on the text first.

Helmut Leherb
Hello , In Helmut Leherb you write: "Gold Medal of the Triennale in Manur, Belgium 1966". 2 things: There is no town by the name of Manur in Belgium. There was a Triennale, but it was in Bruges, and did not start until 1968. What is your source for this information? Vexations (talk) 20:07, 12 November 2021 (UTC) Hello Vexations I have been reading some books in the meantime to figure out what the story is. I noticed that the German Wikipedia has this mistake and is repeated in several other sources online. I will implement the corrections as what I found and mention the ISBN from the source. Thank you for noticing.
