Hello, I'm Girth Summit. I noticed that you recently removed content from Randolph Street Gallery without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

 * Hi, I wanted to drop you a note in addition to the template above. I see from your talkpage that you are a gallery director from Chicago - if you are related in any way to the Chicago gallery that was the subject of the article you were editing, you should be aware of our policies and guidelines around editing with a conflict of interest. It's not forbidden, but there are certain steps you have to take. Also, if you are removing sourced content, at the very minimum you should provide a descriptive edit summary that explains why you are doing it; similarly, if you add content, you should provide a reliable source that readers can refer to in order to verify the information. I hope that's helpful, and welcome to the project. Girth Summit  (blether)  20:56, 25 January 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for your recent contributions, such as Draft:Sandbox. Getting started creating new articles on Wikipedia can be tricky, and you might like to try creating a draft of your article in draftspace or in your userspace first, which you can then ask for feedback on if necessary, with less risk of deletion. Do make sure you also read help available to you, including Your First Article and the Tutorial. You might also like to try the Article Wizard, which has an option to create a draft version. The content that I removed is now at User:Tupisthree/sandbox2 RhinosF1 (talk) 22:00, 25 January 2019 (UTC)

Some cake for you!
Thank you for your support always! What a successful edit-a-thon to close Where the Future Came From :) Egallaugher (talk)

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Tupisthree! Your additions to List of monuments and memorials to women's suffrage have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Requesting copyright permission.) 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.  Hut 8.5  18:59, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
