[edit]It is almost never suitable to copy content from another web site to Wikipedia, for more than one reason, the most important being copyright. When you post anything to Wikipedia you release it for anyone in the world to reuse it, either unchanged or modified in any way whatever, subject to attribution to Wikipedia. It is very rare that the owner of a web site licenses content for such very free reuse, and in those few occasions when they do so, we require proof of the fact. We don't assume that content is freely licensed on the unsubstantiated say so of just anyone who comes along and creates a Wikipedia account, for the simple reason that very often people come to Wikipedia and falsely claim to have copyright rights that in fact they don't have. Also, even on the rare occasions when there is no copyright problem, content from an organisation or business's own website is not usually suitable for a Wikipedia article, as it is almost invariably written in terms designed to promote the organisation and give a good impression of it, rather than presenting it from a neutral point of view, as required for a Wikipedia article. Such promotional editing is not permitted by Wikipedia policy. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 12:05, 27 July 2018 (UTC)

[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Villa degli Azzoni Avogadro (Bivai), you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Portal and Entrance (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

[edit]Pushpin map to infobox
[edit]Hi there, I actually don't really know the answer to that question, because my involvement with templates is minimal. Digging into things, I don't think the infobox you're using supports that function. Normally, I think you'd need to use the "coordinates" parameter with Template:Coord, and then pair that with some of the pushpin map parameters here (this is the infobox for settlements). But I'm definitely not the best person to ask! If you have further trouble trying to figure out how that works, I'm sure if you drop a line at the teahouse you'll find someone willing to help you out with the specifics of implementing what you'd like. bibliomaniac15 20:42, 11 December 2020 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Art Aia-Creatives/In/Residence
[edit]If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Art Aia-Creatives/In/Residence, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
- It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
- It appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement of https://artistrunalliance.org/initiatives/art-aia-creatives-in-residence/ and https://artaiafvg.org/. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) 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 Wikipedia: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 Wikipedia: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. CUPIDICAE💕 17:37, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
