A page you started (Džemma Skulme) has been reviewed!
[edit]Thanks for creating Džemma Skulme, Kriptekss!
Wikipedia editor Mduvekot just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:
I think it would be a good idea to rewrite the sentence that claims that her parents founded classical modernism. It is probably more accurate to say the were members of the Riga Artists Group (which deserves its own article). Perhaps you can also clarify her relationship to her uncle, Uga (I have not found any sources for that, but I don't speak Latvian.
To reply, leave a comment on Mduvekot's talk page.

Invitation to join Women in Red
[edit] We think you might be interested in becoming a member of our WikiProject Women in Red where we are actively trying to reduce Wikipedia's content gender gap.

Your recent biographies
[edit]Hi there, Kriptekss. I'm happy to see you have become so active with several new biographies of Latvian women. There are two things you could do to improve their quality. First, try to make sure you include references to at least three secondary sources in each new article. Second, provide references throughout the text with at least one reference per paragraph, even if you have to use the same source more than once. You can find more guidelines in our Primer. Let me know if you need further assistance. Happy editing!--Ipigott (talk) 15:55, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you for reviewing, Ipigott! I'll try to keep that in mind and add more references in my articles. Kriptekss (talk) 19:05, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
- I see that you've applied these recommendations to Inta Dobrāja. You might be interested to know that I've been adding the names of the artists you have covered to List of Latvian women artists. It's important to include links from other articles to prevent orphan status.--Ipigott (talk) 10:24, 21 August 2022 (UTC)
- Thank you for adding such list, I will certainly add my articles about women artists there. Thanks :) Kriptekss (talk) 13:40, 21 August 2022 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Inta Celmina.jpg
[edit]
Thanks for uploading File:Inta Celmina.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the file description page and add the text
{{Di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}}below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing<your reason>with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable. - On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item 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 creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media 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, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 00:55, 25 August 2022 (UTC)
Copyright issue
[edit]
Hello Kriptekss! Your additions to Biruta Delle 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 eligibility.
- 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. BalinKingOfMoria (talk) 01:42, 25 August 2022 (UTC)

Artists Union of Latvia moved to draftspace
[edit]An article you recently created, Artists Union of Latvia, 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.

Your draft article, Draft:Artists Union of Latvia
[edit]
Hello, Kriptekss. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Artists Union of Latvia".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Women in Red 8th Anniversary |
| In July 2015 around 15.5% of the English Wikipedia's biographies were about women. As of July 2023, 19.61% of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women. That's a lot of biographies created in the effort to close the gender gap. Happy 8th Anniversary! Join us for some virtual cake and add comments or memories and please keep on editing to close the gap! |
