Heartfield

What are your sources for the information you are adding? Are you Heartfield's grandson? If you are you need to be aware of our policy on conflicts of interest. Let me know if you need any help. --John (talk) 19:55, 12 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

Once again, I have edited the John Heartfield Wikipedia Page attempting to further ensure that it does not contain "weasel" words or unconfirmed sources. The situation seems to have improved as the page is no longer (as far as I can tell) being considered for deletion. However, can someone please HELP me? What precisely is wrong with the page as it is presented today? HeartfieldGrandson (talk) 20:25, 20 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

I have further edited the John Heartfield Wikipedia Page attempting to ensure that there is no possibility of a COI.HeartfieldGrandson (talk) 19:30, 15 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

I have edited the John Heartfield Wikipedia Page removing any elements that might be considered a COI. Can anyone help? Is there anything further I can do? I am doing my best to follow Wikipedia's guideslines.HeartfieldGrandson (talk) 17:23, 13 March 2012 (UTC)Reply


Hello, John. I am John Joseph Heartfield, the son of Tom George Heartfield, and the paternal grandson of the German Dada Artist, John Heartfield (1891-1968). The source of my contributions come from my own personal Heartfield collection, historical reference materials, conversations with Heartfield art scholars, and museum catalogs. Some specific sources are the the biographical chronology in the book [1] and the well-known article [2]. As a young man, I spent time with my grandfather and I often heard him express his opinions on a great range of subjects. I wrote an article about my grandfather which was published in The Encyclopedia of German-American Relations. I have read the COI policy and I don't believe there are conflicts of interest in my contribution. I incorporated what was on the page previously and added well-known facts. I would like to add some montages to page. I am the American Representative of the Community of Heirs. HeartfieldGrandson (talk) 01:41, 13 March 2012 (UTC)HeartfieldGrandsonReply


I have modified the content of the John Heartfield Wikipedia Page, attempting to comply more stringently with Wikipedia's Policies. I have tried to remove all "weasel words." I have also provided citations, though I'm not quite exactly sure how it's done. I would like help with that, John. Thank you. I did not replace the page that existed before my edit, but rather incorporated the correct information that existed on the page previously.HeartfieldGrandson (talk) 01:41, 13 March 2012 (UTC)HeartfieldGrandsonReply

A brownie for you!

edit
  Hi John! I wanted to drop by a freshly baked Wiki-brownie and to see how you're editing is going. Great work on improving your grandfather's article. What other articles do you have interest in editing? Looking forward to learning more about your interests. Enjoy this brownie! Sarah (talk) 03:42, 21 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hi Sarah. Thank you for the brownie. It looks delicious! I attempted to conform to Wikipedia's standards by re-editing the page several times and removing anything that could be considered outside Wikipedia's parameters. When I first began editing the page, there was a dearth of information and also some misinformation. Any advice you can give me on how I can remove the notices on top of the page would be greatly appreciated. Also, I applied to be able to post images on the "John Heartfield" page (the montages that are referenced in the article), but I haven't heard anything from Wikipedia. Cheers, John HeartfieldGrandson (talk) 04:01, 26 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of User:POLITICAL PHOTOMONTAGE ART

edit
 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on User:POLITICAL PHOTOMONTAGE ART requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://www.johnheartfield.com/John-Heartfield-Exhibition/helmut-herzfeld-john-heartfield/artist-john-heartfield-biography. 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. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

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 removed 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.
