Hello, I'm JimRenge. I noticed that you made one or more changes to an article, Mandala, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. ''The content was sourced to a blog. Self-published sources are generally not acceptable. Please try to identify reliable sources, such as art books from reliable publishers, peer-reviewed academic journals or national newspapers/magazines.'' JimRenge (talk) 23:54, 4 October 2018 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Baloch hand embroidery


A tag has been placed on Baloch hand embroidery requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.farwayart.com/blog/about-our-tribal-needlework-pillows. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. ... disco spinster   talk  15:48, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Leschnei. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Textile arts have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Please don't add sales sites to articles Leschnei (talk) 01:39, 21 November 2018 (UTC)

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Kilim motifs. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you.

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Mandala. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Please stop linking https://www.farwayart.com/blog/, promotion is not allowed in Wikipedia per WP:NOT. JimRenge (talk) 22:29, 29 December 2018 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Mandala. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 05:11, 30 December 2018 (UTC) You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abuse of editing privileges. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:.
