Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Bertha Lum has been reverted.
Your edit here to Bertha Lum 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://aboutartnouveau.wordpress.com/2014/10/15/bertha-lum-1869-1954/) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia.
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) 09:36, 8 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

Your submission at Articles for creation: World Art Nouveau Day (April 28)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Legacypac was:

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:World Art Nouveau Day and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:World Art Nouveau Day, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

I don't know if this is the right place to contact you. It is all still too complicated for me. The phrase that was rejected as a copyrights violation is actually just a description of what they do. If an organisation is big and has many tasks, who knows better what they do, than they themselves. So yes, I used their own words to describe what it is they do. Now, I have rephrased the sentence. But in order to keep the information correct, I cannot change it too much now can I... Or it will not be the correct information anymore. I am in close contact with this organisation that I am describing. I have actually run my contents by them before I posted them on this wikipage. So there really is no issue of copyrights violation in this case. So, to solve this 'rejection', what should I do best? Just put quotemarks around the sentence, or cite the source? But then I would have to undo my rephrasing again, now wouldn't I? Otherwise it is no longer a quote... This is all so complicated. Just because it is the same description of their organisation. It shouldn't fall under copyrights violation. This is just rediculous actually! It's not their data I copied. It's just the description of what they do! Please help. I feel like they people reviewing wiki are just doing everything they can to refuse my page instead of helping me get the page ready... Seishonagon3 (talk) 08:03, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You should summarize the facts in your own words. Copy-pasting and then changing a word here and there is not enough. I don't see that the organization has released the content in question under a free license that allows everybody to re-use and modify it for any purpose, including commercial purposes. Whether it's "data" or "text they wrote on their website" (actually mere data may be less likely to be copyrighted than prose), they still own the copyright, and you're violating it. Thus the content is unsuitable for Wikipedia. I'll remove it from the draft.

Furthermore, you should summarize the facts as reported by independent sources in your own words - Wikipedia is not the venue to repeat what an organization says about itself, so the content would very likely still be unsuitable even if there was no copyright issue.

If you are in close contact with the organization, you may want to consider whether you have a conflict of interest regarding this topic. Huon (talk) 08:36, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
