Hi Rod! THX for your warm welcome! In fact I am a user of the German Wikipedia for a long time. I love working on it but don't have the time I would need to do everything I already have on my to-do list there. (I would love to do nothing else!!!) Now yesterday I came across my own photos of the museum on flickr and revisited the photos on my computer to add more. I wanted to link the museum to my flickr photos and found out, there could be more photos in the article... We loved this museum! And it breaks my heart to hear that the firemen maybe break it's neck! Anyway. Just wanted to upload some photos and ended up in the middle of the night adding a whole paragraph to the article Manual vacuum cleaner about the "Baby Daisy" (which is exposed in the Bakelite Museum too). Being no native speaker I hope I did not make too many mistakes there. Maybe you find the time to have a look...Rosebud23 (talk) 11:18, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not a copyright expert, but I thought photographs of 2D works of art were not allowed until 75 years after the death of the artist. As no date is given for the picture I would be very careful. Why not ask the experts at Commons:Village pump/Copyright?— Rod ^talk 15:40, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I think you're right. I just added a link to Bridgemanart where they sell prints of the painting. The painting is mirror reversed but people can get an idea of it anyway.Rosebud23 (talk) 17:00, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Rosebud23! Your additions to Bianca Modenese 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, 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 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. 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. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia: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 Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.

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) 23:24, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
