Speedy deletion nomination of Central State Archive of the City of Moscow

edit

Hello Puncinus,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Central State Archive of the City of Moscow for deletion, because it seems to be copied from another source, probably infringing copyright.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to rewrite it in your own words, you can contest this deletion, but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

Speedy deletion nomination of Ellen Hadden

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 Ellen Hadden requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. — Moriwen (talk) 00:31, 9 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Managing a conflict of interest

edit

  Hello, Puncinus. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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:

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.

The nature of some of your edits suggests that you may have a Conflict of Interest with some of the subjects you edit or articles you have created. Please read Wikipedia's guidelines on Conflict of Interest editing at WP:COI; although it is not forbidden, COI editing is strongly discouraged. Pay particular attention to the section on citing your own work here: WP:SELFCITE. If you have cited your own work and are compensated for that work financially (through royalties, fees, salaries, etc. or through in-kind compensation, please read WP:PAY and follow the guidance there including WP:DISCLOSE if you are a connected contributor. Many thanks in advance for your compliance and happy editing. Netherzone (talk) 00:10, 16 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Managing a conflict of interest

edit

Regarding your note Managing a conflict of interest I would like to request information regarding statement "The nature of some of your edits suggests that you may have a Conflict of Interest with some of the subjects you edit or articles you have created. " Which edits or articles are of your concern? Thanks. Puncinus (talk) 19:57, 16 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hi Puncinus, the articles are: Esther Bruton, Margaret Bruton, and Helen Bell Bruton. BTW, I moved your message on my talk here since it was a response and to keep continuity of the discussion. Best regards, Netherzone (talk) 21:23, 16 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
I have no idea what conflict of interest I may possible have with Esther Bruton, Margaret Bruton, and Hellen Bell Bruton? I wrote these articles because they were women and because her biographer, who wrote a book about them, complained that they are excluded from the history and that Wikpedia doesn't have articles about them. She (Wendy van Wyck) even thanked me for this https://brutonsisters.blogspot.com/2023/11/new-discoveries-wikipedia-and-happy.html
This is what she wrote: "On another note, many times I have bemoaned the fact that the Bruton sisters don't have Wikipedia pages. It has always been my intention to remedy this situation, but I just learned that I've been beaten to it! Another individual -- who prefers to remain anonymous -- has written beautiful Wikipedia entries for Margaret, Esther, and Helen, as well as a page for The Peacemakers mural. As you know, Wikipedia pages are always a work in progress, and I will continue to monitor and update the Bruton pages as appropriate. It's wonderful that the Brutons -- who are so deserving of this level of attention -- are finally on Wikipedia!"
Netherzone - tell me specifically what are are your objections?! Puncinus (talk) 21:52, 16 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Thank you for clarifying this. Best wishes, Netherzone (talk) 22:02, 16 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Bruton sisters

edit

You did not tell me why you posted "Managing a conflict of interest" regarding Bruton sisters? Could you please tell me what what the reason for " The nature of some of your edits suggests that you may have a Conflict of Interest with some of the subjects you edit or articles you have created". Otherwise please remove your comment from my talk list, or clearly state that this is not the case. Thank you. Puncinus (talk) 00:14, 17 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Several of your articles including the ones on the three Bruton sisters contain unsourced claims (which may be original research), a promotional tone or euphemisms, and some of the photos do not seem to have appropriate licensing and are copyrighted to the original artists yet claimed as "own work". Netherzone (talk) 02:32, 17 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Can you be more specific. Which pictures you suspect are copyrighted yet "claimed as own work"? Puncinus (talk) 23:50, 20 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Copyright laws an licensing is complicated. But you will be able to find more information on the Commons site.
In a nutshell, any works of art or photographs that were created less than 70 years ago are still covered by copyright law. If you photograph them the copyrights don't automatically transfer to you. The original creator (the painter or photographer, or whomever inherited the copyright) still owns the rights. You will either need to have the owner of the copyright release their the image into the public domain, or supply the appropriate licensing for more limited use. Proof of this would need to be emailed to the Volunteer Response Team on Commons (not Wikipedia, who would then analyze the case. Your designating the work as your "own work" is inaccurate even if you took the photo of a painting or found a picture on the internet. I know this may seem like a a lot of info; the question is: Did you obtain permission from the copyright holders?
Thanks in advance, Netherzone (talk) 01:04, 21 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Let us be more specific. There is an article on Margaret Bruton which specific image you object to? Puncinus (talk) 02:22, 21 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Please read the above, it sounds like you did not obtain permissions from the copyright holders since you did not answer the direct question. Go to your user page on Commons and check all your photographs there (not just MB) to insure that the licensing and permissions are correct. If the original artist of photographer created the image less than 70 years ago and you have uploaded them as your "own work" this is not correct. You will either need to delete the image files, or contact the correct owner of the image for their permission; which then needs to be submitted to the Volunteer Response Team on Commons. Netherzone (talk) 17:28, 21 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
You posted on my page "Managing a conflict of interest" and you explained that it is related to articles about Margaret Bruton and her sisters. So let us resolve this issue. For which image in the article "Margaret Bruton" I am supposed to get copyright permission? Here are all the pictures in this article. Many of Bruton sisters paintings and mosaics were ordered by US government (WPA program and US military and are on public domain) or were done for the exhibitions and public buildings. In any case, even if they are copyrighted (and I think that the are not) - what this has to do with "conflict of interest" template. Please remove your template "Managing a conflict of interest". I explained to you why I wrote articles about Brutons (because they were forgotten women artists) and that I do not have conflict of interest. Here is the list of all images in Margaret Bruton article, which one is copyrighted according to you?

United States copyright law states that the copyrights to an original work of art or an original photograph, based on creation dates (by the original author) lasts for 95 years from publication or 120 years from creation, whichever is shorter.

In the case of works published/created since 1978, the copyright lasts for the Life of the original author/creator plus 70 years. Copyrights of works created prior to 1929 have expired and are now considered in the public domain, except for those covered by individual states.

Please go to your uploads on Commons and identify the problematic ones, and either ask for them to be deleted on Commons or obtain the proper licensing/permissions from the owner of the original copyright, and submit proof of the latter. Here is a link [1] to your uploads (don't forget to click on the link "next page" once you do this for the first page of your uploads). Again, the link to the first page of your uploads is HERE.
