Dear Diaanna,

The additions to the entry 'Atlas' were mainly taken from my own article Early printed atlases: shaping Plato's "Forms" into bibliographic descriptionsin the Journal of map & geography libraries : advances in geospatial information, collections & archives. I understand now that I have to get permission from Tailor & Francis to quote this text in Wikipedia. The quotes from Hodson, Winsor and Van der Kroft, however, were given with a source-description, as is usual in scientific articles. Maybe I can paraphrase my own text as I think it is important for people of this era to know that publishing practises in the past were different from what is usual nowadays!

With kind regards,

Hello Smi953, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your additions to Atlas 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. (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 the 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 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 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.
• In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse 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 must follow the copyright attribution steps in Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate. See also 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) 12:24, 23 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

L.S.,

In this Wikipediapage the following sentence occurs:

The city has its own orchestra, the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra, with its well-regarded young music director Lahav Shani which plays at a large congress and concert building called De Doelen.[citation needed]

Why is there a [citation needed] when 'Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra', 'Lahav Shani', and 'De Doelen' are all en.wikipedia lemma's?

With kind regards,

Jan Smits

Hello, Smi953,

Thank you for creating Depot Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen.

I have tagged the page as having some issues to fix, as a part of our page curation process and note that:

This article needs more references. The references should be significant coverage of the concept of depot and the depots mentioned. See WP:SIGCOV

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Whiteguru}}. Remember to sign your reply with ~~~~. For broader editing help, please visit the Teahouse.

Delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.

Whiteguru (talk) 21:54, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Whiteguru,

The how and why is in 'Reference 3' that refers to the English site of the architectural firm MVRDV concerning this project and in the 'Source' reference 'Depot'.

There could be added a source reference to the Dutch Wikipedia page (oldid=61764796), but I cannot find the English equivalent.

With kind regards,

A tag has been placed on Cartifact requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cartifact. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Robert McClenon (talk) 03:21, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm A loose necktie. I wanted to let you know that one or more external links you added to Cartifact have been removed because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you. A loose necktie (talk) 16:59, 11 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for this article, which looks fine with the additional references. The only improvement I'd suggest, when you have a moment, would be to add one more inline citation / footnote, for the paragraph beginning "In 1994...".

An article you recently created, Ferdinand Jan Ormeling Sr., is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 12:46, 8 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I cannot really believe you moved this article to Draftspace. In his orbituary (https://icaci.org/ferdinand-jan-ormeling-1912-2002) on the homepage of the International Cartographi Association (ICA), that is mentioned under 'Literature' most of the contents is given. In the paragraph 'International' his functions and award within the ICA are given, which are clearly mentioned on the Wikipedia page of the ICA (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Cartographic_Association). And in the 'References' it is mentioned that part of the contents is translated from the Dutch Wikipedia. Under 'Cartgraphic collection' there is a Dutch link to the University of Leiden. Since 2013 he is mentioned on https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2321130 and his portret is since 2011 on https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ormeling_01.tif

Smi953 (talk) 09:45, 9 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I would think that references to the International Cartographic Association and the Leiden University are sufficient independent sources to authenticate the article.

Added: Naftali Kadmon. In memoriam, Ferdinand Jan Ormeling (1912-2002) . In: United Nations Group of Experts on Geographical Names. Information Bulletin, number 26, March 2003, p. 6-7. In this online-pdf of the United Nations Group of Experts on Geographical Names most of the information stated in the article is given. I would say this is sufficient independent source to qualify the article for publication. Smi953 (talk) 10:04, 29 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

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

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

• in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
• reliable
• secondary
• independent of the subject
  

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Hello. This is a message to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions, such as the edit(s) you made to Christina Scull, did not appear to be constructive and have been reverted. Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make test edits, please use your sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Hi, we've been in discussion about this, so it is simply disruptive, not to mention grossly disrespectful, to ignore the discussion and to attempt to force through the disputed change into articles. Please stop; if you have a point to make, then state it on the talk page. Many thanks. Chiswick Chap (talk) 11:43, 12 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I assume you hadn't seen this when you just did the same on the Wayne G. Hammond Page. Obviously the same applies. I've reverted the addition on this good-faith basis, without escalating the warning for now: I do hope that will not become necessary. All the best, Chiswick Chap (talk) 11:47, 12 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry for the fuss I made. As a retiree librarian I have the urgent need to perfect bibliographical links in order that users can find the resource mentioned. I hope to do better in future.

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

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

 The comment the reviewer left was:

This article cannot be accepted as it has no sources. I notice that it was already rejected just a couple of weeks ago and has been resubmitted without the problem being addressed - please don't do that again, it wastes everybody's time. What you need to do here is to add footnotes giving reliable sources. To establish notability (the criterion for us having the article at all) you need INDEPENDENT reliable sources for the importance of the museum. Reviews in national newspapers would be a good start. Beyond that, you need reliable sources for all the information given. A museum catalogue would do as a reliable source for a lot of the details, but it would not count as independent, so it wouldn't contribute towards notability. I notice the Dutch Wikipedia has a far fuller article, so this could be expanded quite a bit from there. But the Dutch article is also unsourced - maybe the Dutch Wiki has a different policy about that? At any rate, please do not resubmit this until you have at least three significant citations. This looks like an interesting topic, and I would like to see it included, so I hope you will do this.

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

 The comment the reviewer left was:

As mentioned before, the subject seems notable, but there is a lot of unsupported content, with many sections ending without a reference. Please ensure that every material statement is clearly supported. Also, the tone is quite promotional, please dial down the hagiography. Peacock expressions like "great national and international recognition", "once again able to use his organizational gifts", "highly productive team of diverse specialized and motivated employees", etc. are inappropriate for an encyclopaedia article.

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you translated text from Draft:Ferdinand Jan Ormeling Sr. to another page. While you are welcome to translate Wikipedia content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing requires that you provide attribution to the contributor(s) of the original article. When translating from a foreign-language Wikipedia article, this is supplied at a minimum in an edit summary on the page where you add translated content, identifying it as a translation and linking it to the source page. For example: Content in this edit is translated from the existing French Wikipedia article at [[:fr:Exact name of French article]]; see its history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if translation is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{translated page}} template on the talk pages of the destination article. If you have added translated content previously which was not attributed at the time it was added, please add attribution retrospectively for that also, even if it was a long time ago. You can read more about author attribution and the reasons for it at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. I see you've tried to add this message to the draft directly - the "see its edit history for attribution" bit needs to be in the edit summary, not the draft itself! asilvering (talk) 19:58, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Dear asilvering,

Fortunately I got the message today that the page is accepted after more than a year on the English Wikipedia. I have used the addition ( Content in this edit is translated from the existing French Wikipedia article at fr:Exact name of French article; see its history for attribution.) very succinctly on diverse Wikipedia, but usually write the article myself.
