Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions to the Laurel Nakadate article, but for legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

Feel free to re-submit a new version of the article. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later."

You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here. You can also leave a message on my talk page. Selket ^Talk 19:11, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Laurel Nakadate[edit]

Hi, I'm not sure why you keep deleting the inline citations. I would like to put them back but don't want to get into an edit war with you. May I do so? Also, you might want to consider making fewer big edits rather than a lot of little edits to prevent cluttering the edit history for the article. Since WKDP is a single purpose account, I would like to ask if (and if so how) you are related to the subject of this article per WP:COI. Thanks.

Again, welcome to Wikipedia.

This is my first time using wikipedia - I'm just learning, so I don't really know what I did wrong, but feel free to fix it. I'm the Associate Director at Laurel Nakadate's art gallery, Danziger Projects.

Best,

Kimberly

No worries. The big problem is that a large part of the text you posted comes from another website here. This represents a problem for Wikipedia in that its inclusion is a violation of okaymountain's copyright. Feel free to include the information in your own words, but please do not copy and paste text from another website. My COI question was really procedural; you haven't done anything wrong, but when someone is associated with the subject of an article it is best if any potential conflict of interest is disclosed.

Thank you for contributing, and please continue to do so. I'm sorry if my previous posting sounded overly critical. Since you are new here, I posted the boilerplate welcome message at the top of this page. You might also want to look through WP:MOS, the Wikipedia style guid, and Wikipedia:Annotated article, which gives examples.

Thanks for the info! Question: the text that I posted is actually a Danziger Projects document that Okay Mountain borrowed from us for an exhibition of Laurel's work. Since the text was written by us, can we keep it up on the page? I actually copy and pasted it from our word document in my computer, not from their website.

Thanks for your help.

KWDP

Yeah, go ahead but beware that by doing so you are releasing it under the terms of the GFDL and someone else might find the same text elsewhere and raise the same complaint later. To prevent that, I'll copy and paste this conversation onto Talk:Laurel Nakadate, and in your edit summary when you put it back make reference to the talk page and say that you own the text and had previously given it to other websites. --Selket ^Talk 23:56, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Commercial use of Image:Nakadate-Antlers1.jpg[edit]

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Image:Nakadate-Antlers1.jpg, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Image:Nakadate-Antlers1.jpg is an image licensed as "for non-commercial use only" or "used with permission for use on Wikipedia only" which was either uploaded on or after 2005-05-19 or is not used in any articles (CSD I3).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Image:Nakadate-Antlers1.jpg, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. --Android Mouse Bot 2 22:41, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use Image:Antlers400dpi.jpg[edit]

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Antlers400dpi.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media 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 taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images 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 our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kelly ^hi! 20:55, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
