Thank you. The following article has been created for the artist (Richard Wyatt, Jr.), who I've been trying to add to a "List of African-American Visual Artists" and "African-American Artists": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Wyatt,_Jr.

I'm his daughter so this will definitely be a conflict of interest. However, if I gather up articles and books that have been written on him, can I send them to you please? If they are notable references, can you please add him to the above lists and any other relevant lists regarding American Artists, African-American Art, and African-American Artists? I'm still reviewing everything you provided earlier, which is tremendous help. Thank you once again! Have a Happy New Year!! HollywoodJazz (talk) 01:08, 31 December 2016 (UTC)

• If this is the article about your father - Richard Wyatt, Jr., I will add it here: [1], here: [2], here: [3] and here [4]. Happy New Year!..Modernist (talk) 03:06, 31 December 2016 (UTC)

Wow!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Happy New Year!!HollywoodJazz (talk) 19:13, 2 January 2017 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello HollywoodJazz! Your additions to Richard Wyatt Jr. 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, it's important to understand and adhere to guidelines about using information from sources to prevent copyright and plagiarism issues. Here are the key points:

• Limited quotation: You may only copy or translate a small portion of a source. Any direct quotations must be enclosed in double quotation marks (") and properly cited using an inline citation. More information is available on the non-free content page. To learn how to cite a source, see Help:Referencing for beginners.
• Paraphrasing: Beyond limited quotations, you are required to put all information in your own words. Following the source's wording too closely can lead to copyright issues and is not permitted; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when paraphrasing, you must still cite your sources as appropriate.
• Image use guidelines: In most scenarios, only freely licensed or public domain images may be used and these should be uploaded to our sister project, Wikimedia Commons. In some scenarios, non-freely copyrighted content can be used if they meet all ten of our non-free content criteria; Wikipedia:Plain and simple non-free content guide may help with determining a file's elegibility.
• Copyrighted material donation: If you hold the copyright to the content you want to copy, or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license the text for publication here. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• Copying and translation within Wikipedia: Wikipedia articles can be copied or translated, however they must have proper attribution in accordance with Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. For translation, see Help:Translation § License requirements.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices. Persistent failure to comply may result in being blocked from editing. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 14:05, 19 May 2024 (UTC)

Your edit to User talk: Diannaa has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for information on how to contribute your work appropriately. For legal reasons, Wikipedia strictly cannot host copyrighted text or images from print media or digital platforms without an appropriate and verifiable license. Contributions infringing on copyright will be removed. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources for more information. You have been warned gently, but formally about copyright violation above: "It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices. Persistent failure to comply may result in being blocked from editing.". Then, immediately after that warning you post copyright prose on the user talk page of the editor who warned you. What were you thinking?There is a strong probability (0.95) that this behaviour is sufficient for a block, removal of editing privileges. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 21:54, 19 May 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Timtrent. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, Fairfax High School (Los Angeles), but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 22:06, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
