Speedy deletion of Daan Roosegaarde
A tag has been placed on Daan Roosegaarde, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as the Business' FAQ for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Stijndon (talk) 19:33, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Better source request for File:Portrait of daan roosegaarde in cape town.jpg
Thanks for your upload to Wikipedia: You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact Web page where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain or the URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Portrait of Daan Roosegaarde.jpg


A tag has been placed on File:Portrait of Daan Roosegaarde.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

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 "Click here to 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 removed 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.

Disambiguation link notification for January 28
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Daan Roosegaarde, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Dutch. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:02, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Conflict of interest?
Hi Tina Dekkers, you might wish to review Conflict of interest to see if you should declare a COI. I notice that your edits are limited to one topic—matters relating to Daan Roosegaarde and Studio Roosegaarde. Note that there is a Conflict of interest/Noticeboard, where such matters are reported. However, I felt that it would be friendlier to have you decide whether a declaration is in order. Cheers, User:HopsonRoad 21:01, 10 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Hello HopsonRoad, thank you very much for your opinion. We would love to restore our Studio Roosegaarde page which has been deleted due to COI/looking too much like an ad. If we declare COI, would it be safe to stay? It's been there without a problem for years, and we do not understand how it is suddenly becoming a problem. Best, User: Tina Dekkers
 * Tina Dekkers (talk) 12:30, 20 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Hi Tina, thank you for your questions, here. Another editor deleted the Studio Roosegaarde page because he/she felt that it wasn't separately notable from Daan Roosegaarde. Note that Wikipedia is not a place to promote people, companies or services. It is a place to inform readers about topics that are WP:Notable, as measured by their mention in WP:Reliable sources.


 * As to a problem suddenly becoming apparent, the issues that have been addressed on these topics were problems from the start. It's just that not all problems in WP become immediately apparent to editors. Declaring a COI is an honorable course of action, when appropriate. Persons in that position with respect to an article can always make requests via the pertinent Talk page for editors without a COI to assess for notability and the availability of reliable sources. Declaring a COI doesn't restrain an editor from making edits elsewhere in WP, where the COI doesn't pertain. I hope that this helps. Cheers, User:HopsonRoad 18:56, 20 February 2017 (UTC)

Hello Hospond, Thank you for your thorough answer. I understand your point, but it is imperative for the two articles to remain separate for following reasons: Purpose of article As Wikipedia is the resource where billions people visit, we would like to provide right information, proven by numerous citations from third parties that we officially conducted interview with, not a random online resource that did not reach us nor provide correct information. The purpose of article is not to promote or advertise. It is about providing correct information, which is the mission Wikipedia holds. We welcome edits from all Wikipedia editors to edit information about Daan Roosegaarde and Studio Roosegaarde, of course, but we want to benefit users by providing right and proven information, following WP: reliable sources.

COI From your description, I will understand that declaring COI would be more appropriate. If you could understand our perspective and recognize different entitles that Daan Roosegaarde and Studio Roosegaarde hold, we would make it clearer by separating the role of pages more clearly, while noting my identity as COI.

Difference Studio's activities are different from Daan Roosegaarde's, because Daan Roosegaarde's profile would focus more on the talks that he gives around the world(which I am working to update) and his personal career(such as being appointed as Young Global Leader). That is why the description for works is mentioned only briefly to give a brief idea, whereas Studio's page provided more thorough information about the works. Please note that the appointment is specifically made to Daan Roosegaarde rather than the Studio, which recognizes its different identity. The awards and the works are published/released under the name of Studio Roosegaarde where he collaborates with his team of experts. Studio also conducts workshops and tours that are separate from Daan Roosegaarde, which I would like to note when the studio page is revived.

Similar examples within Wikipedia Andy Warhol has a separate wikipedia page from The Factory as well as Olafur Eliasson and Studio Olafur Eliasson. They separated articles for the same reason I noted in the section "difference". I found them distinguishing between the two interesting and notable to follow.

I appreciate your feedback because it is important for us to provide correct information about Studio Roosegaarde & Daan Roosegaarde while abiding rules from Wikipedia. Would very much appreciate your positive review, and revive Studio Roosegaarde page for us to make edits. User: Tina Dekkers
 * Thank you for engaging here, Tina. First, a note on some technical tips on how to use a Talk page. To get my attention, please paste " User:HopsonRoad " into a place where you are addressing me. To properly sign your posts, please click on (below in the Editing window) or type in ~.
 * You mention that "Daan Roosegaarde's profile would focus more on the talks that he gives around the world". This does not suggest that you understand what makes a subject notable. Bill Clinton gives talks around the world, but that doesn't contribute to his notability. You also use the term "profile", which suggests that you still view Wikipedia as a place to post a curriculum vitae. Please review WP:PLUG on this.
 * Please review Your first article. With that knowledge, you may consider using the DRAFT route, which you can see at Drafts. It would, nonetheless be important to declare your COI, in doing so (you seem to tacitly agree that there is such). Your article would then be reviewed by someone without a COI for conformance to WP:MOS, etc.
 * As to your analogies, regarding Andy Warhol and The Factory, they are both separately notable, as evidenced by extensive references from notable sources. On the other hand, Olafur Eliasson has sufficient notability to be an article but has incomplete references, whereas the references at Studio Olafur Eliasson do not appear to be reliable nor do they obviously support separate notability. Editing seems to have ceased in 2015 and there was a merger discussion that was never concluded. No-one has paid sufficient attention to it to include it in a WikiProject or give it a rating.

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Tina Dekkers. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Daan Roosegaarde, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the request edit template);
 * disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 12:59, 9 August 2018 (UTC)


 * You have been asked about this before and did not provide a straight answer. Disclosing is not optional so please explain your relationship with Roosegaarde and refrain from editing the article directly. SmartSE (talk) 13:31, 9 August 2018 (UTC)

Portrait of Roosegaarde
Tina, It's bad practice for an editor to place an image by another person on Wikimedia Commons without using the OTRS system. To claim it to be one's own work, gives the appearance of dishonesty. It would seem a very simple solution for you to take a portrait of Roosegaarde with your camera and upload that image in WM Commons. It would be correct to claim that as your own work. Sincerely, HopsonRoad (talk) 15:37, 9 August 2018 (UTC)
