User talk:Carlovision

Welcome!

Hello, Carlovision, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as User:Carlovision, 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.

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Carlovision! Your additions to Charles L. Dufour 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 Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, it's important to understand and adhere to guidelines about using information from sources to prevent copyright and plagiarism issues. Here are the key points:

Limited quotation: You may only copy or translate a small portion of a source. Any direct quotations must be enclosed in double quotation marks (") and properly cited using an inline citation. More information is available on the non-free content page. To learn how to cite a source, see Help:Referencing for beginners.
Paraphrasing: Beyond limited quotations, you are required to put all information in your own words. Following the source's wording too closely can lead to copyright issues and is not permitted; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when paraphrasing, you must still cite your sources as appropriate.
Image use guidelines: In most scenarios, only freely licensed or public domain images may be used and these should be uploaded to our sister project, Wikimedia Commons. In some scenarios, non-freely copyrighted content can be used if they meet all ten of our non-free content criteria; Wikipedia:Plain and simple non-free content guide may help with determining a file's eligibility.
Copyrighted material donation: If you hold the copyright to the content you want to copy, or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license the text for publication here. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
Copying and translation within Wikipedia: Wikipedia articles can be copied or translated, however they must have proper attribution in accordance with Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. For translation, see Help:Translation § License requirements.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices. Persistent failure to comply may result in being blocked from editing. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 21:08, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Carlovision. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Draft:Felix Herwig Kuntz, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for article subjects for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template)—don't forget to give details of reliable sources supporting your suggestions;
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to 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 Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicizing, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Helpful Raccoon (talk) 22:24, 18 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I was at the museum today.

This first notation of two is from the plaque on the wall of the exhibit (do we need a photo? I have it if you need it):

how to proceed? Thanks. Carlovision (talk) 01:37, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Do not paste in copyrighted material here or elsewhere on Wikipedia. Copyright policy applies to all pages whether they be articles or talk pages. All of your contributions have been pasting in other people's copyrighted text. Even if you provide a citation, that simply is not acceptable. Wikipedia is a freely licensed encyclopedia. -- Whpq (talk) 03:46, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I paraphrased a summary of this man’s obituary and a memoriam from a journalist friend who wrote of his passing from the States-Item dated August 14, 1971. I saw Felix’s name mentioned in a plaque on the wall at The New Orleans Museum of Art on the second floor to a room he donated.

Unfortunately this doesn't really answer the question. Do you have a connection to Felix Kuntz? If so, it is discouraged for you to edit about him. Helpful Raccoon (talk) 01:20, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

October 2024

Your edit to New Orleans Museum of Art has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for information on how to contribute your work appropriately. For legal reasons, Wikipedia strictly cannot host copyrighted text or images from print media or digital platforms without an appropriate and verifiable license. Contributions infringing on copyright will be removed. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources for more information.

Hi. This first notation of two is from the plaque on the wall of the exhibit (do we need a photo? I have it if you need it):

how to proceed? Thanks. I like raccoons. Carlovision (talk) 01:34, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for responding! A photo isn't necessary, but the article New Orleans Museum of Art should be largely based on what others have to say about the museum and its exhibits, not what the museum has to say about its own exhibits. (The article currently doesn't do a great job with using independent, secondary sources.) It would likely be undue to include an entire paragraph about the Kuntz Rooms unless other sources also describe them in detail. A brief mention might be better. Also, can you answer whether you have a connection to Kuntz? It's important to disclose the presence of a connection if you have one, per Wikipedia's conflict of interest guidelines. Helpful Raccoon (talk) 02:01, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not transcribe large blocks of text from the museum's exhibits and put them on this talk page or any other page, as this also violates Wikipedia's non-free content guidelines. See Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources. Helpful Raccoon (talk) 02:31, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In 2014 I paraphrased a summary of these paragraphs from a plaque on the wall at The New Orleans Museum of Art on the second floor to a room he donated. Why is this now an issue?

Because the copyright violation that you introduced in 2014 was not discovered until now. One of the paragraphs you included is directly identical to text on NOMA's own website, so it was not just paraphrasing unless the text on the website was also created by you, or the website copied from Wikipedia.
