Welcome

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent contributions seem to be advertising or for promotional purposes. Wikipedia does not allow advertising in articles. For more information on this, see

If you still have questions, there is a new contributor's help page, or you can write {{helpme}} below this message along with a question and someone will be along to answer it shortly. You may also find the following pages useful for a general introduction to Wikipedia.

I hope you enjoy editing Wikipedia! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. Feel free to write a note on the bottom of my talk page if you want to get in touch with me. Again, welcome!

Most of your edits have been reverted because of their self promotional nature. See WP:COI and WP:AUTO. I am afraid that although there was useful information added to Robert Florczak it was not written in the neutral style required and would have needed work by another editor to do that. Also it was not referenced (guide to that below). You are invited to contribute to a range of articles to get the feel of editing here. Tyrenius 02:46, 23 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

File source problem with File:Rob_photo.jpg

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Rob_photo.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 23:14, 28 October 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ww2censor (talk) 23:14, 28 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:DISTANT THOUGHTS-Robert Florczak, 2004 (Oil on mounted paper, 24x34).jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, we also need to know the terms of the license that the copyright holder has published the file under, usually done by adding a licensing tag. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

Proposed Deletion

Proposed deletion of Robert Florczak

edit
 

The article Robert Florczak has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Violates conflict of interest, autobiographical, and notability guidelines

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Attn: Robert Florczak

Greetings Mr. Florczak,

Before I can help, I must remind you that it is against the rules of Wikipedia to write one's own entry. Unfortunately, the text that has been on your page page since 2008 has been primarily composed of your own words, taken directly from your personal website. Despite having been modified by several others, including myself, there is an inherent conflict of interest in the content of this entry. For example, imagine if the editor of the Encyclopaedia Britannica was allowed to write their own entry in the encyclopedia. How would any reader be able to trust that the entry was written from a impartial viewpoint? Thus, all entries on Wikipedia are supposed to be written by third-parties with no vested interest in the subject. See HERE for more information.

To try and clear up why your all of your images have been removed I will try to briefly explain how Wikipedia and Wikimedia operates. In order to be able to deliver the image to all end users, regardless of location, Wikipedia and Wikimedia must have the legal rights to distribute all content hosted by these website. Although you are the owner of your artwork, you have not released these images with a SUITABLE FREE LICENSE. If the images are not released with an appropriate license, Wikipedia/Wikimedia, is left open to the legal repercussions of distributing media without permission, (even if it is not your intention to sue this site for violating copyright).

I know that the legalese can be dense in these parts but I will try my best to help,

Sincerely,
