Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page T. K. Padmini has been reverted.
Your edit here to T. K. Padmini was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7F02XQOtTXI) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. a sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy, as well as other parts of our external links guideline. If the information you linked to is indeed in violation of copyright, then such information should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file, or consider linking to the original.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 03:51, 15 March 2017 (UTC)

WomenArtistUpdates, you are invited to the Teahouse!

Teahouse logo

Control copyright icon Hello WomenArtistUpdates, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Elizabeth Wright Ingraham have been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.

  • 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 Wikipedia: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 Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
  • Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
  • If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
  • In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
  • 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 can, but please follow the steps in Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

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, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 21:50, 12 June 2017 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Photo of Pinky Bass.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Photo of Pinky Bass.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
  2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. – Train2104 (t • c) 23:03, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Photo of Joan Steiner.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Photo of Joan Steiner.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 08:38, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for the warning. I uploaded the photo last night and added it to Joan Steiner's infobox this morning. --WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 17:38, 11 July 2017 (UTC)

Image without license

Unspecified source/license for File:Photo of Buffie Johnson.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Photo of Buffie Johnson.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. Even if you created the image yourself, you still need to release it so Wikipedia can use it. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like {{PD-self}} (to release all rights), {{self|CC-by-sa-3.0|GFDL}} (to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by MifterBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. --MifterBot (TalkContribsOwner) 21:01, 23 August 2017 (UTC)

Marike's daughter contacted me about that photo and wanted it to be removed from her wiki as Marike never liked that picture. I put back the other one that I could find on commons. - Post from Joostwijnberg at 11 Oct 2017.

Ways to improve Aleen Aked

Hi, I'm Jmcgnh. WomenArtistUpdates, thanks for creating Aleen Aked!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. The article does not appear to explain why the subject is notable.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

— jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 16:19, 1 November 2017 (UTC)

For example, the text mentions "award-winning" without showing any evidence of awards having been won. There's no immediate danger that the article will be put up for deletion, but if you or other editors don't provide additional substantiation for Aked's notability, I'm afraid that's likely in the future. — jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 16:25, 1 November 2017 (UTC)
Thanks for your note. I picked Aleen Aked's name from the "Missing Articles" on the Women in Red contest. I was under the impression that names on that list were already vetted for notability.
I see your new note about adding references to awards and can see how that would sound like puffery. Will seek to improve that.
Meanwhile, should I continue to work under the assumption that names on the missing lists are "notable"?
Thanks WomenArtistUpdates (talk) 16:29, 1 November 2017 (UTC)
I agree that names on the list have some presumption of notability, but that notability still has to be supported by the article when it is written. — jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 16:41, 1 November 2017 (UTC)
I see that the article is progressing nicely. I've added a talk page section Talk:Aleen Aked#Notability tag to make my concerns about notability clearer. — jmcgnh(talk) (contribs) 05:11, 2 November 2017 (UTC)

Clélie Lamberty

Hello. It appears Clélie Lamberty is translated from a near-completely unsourced French article. This means that both violate WP:V. Note that Wikipedia articles themselves should never be used as references per WP:CIRCULAR. Please consider adding reliable sources that verify content and establish Notability (sources need not necessarily be in English, per WP:NONENG). Unverifiable content may be challenged and removed. Please exercise caution when translating other unsourced or poorly sourced articles: some foreign Wikipedias have notably lower standards, or lax enforcement of standards, and all articles on English Wikipedia must adhere to English Wikipedia standards. Cheers, --Animalparty! (talk) 21:42, 1 November 2017 (UTC)

Wikipedia editor Animalparty just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:

Thanks for starting this: What an interesting woman. This articles can certainly be expanded. Note that since much of Warren's writing and life occurred before 1923, there are very likely public domain images of her, precluding the potentially non-free image.
