Hello, Rosebud23, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for
your contributions, especially what you did for
Bakelite Museum. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
Hi Rod! THX for your warm welcome! In fact I am a user of the German Wikipedia for a long time. I love working on it but don't have the time I would need to do everything I already have on my to-do list there. (I would love to do nothing else!!!) Now yesterday I came across my own photos of the museum on
flickr and revisited the photos on my computer to add more. I wanted to link the museum to my flickr photos and found out, there could be more photos in the article... We loved this museum! And it breaks my heart to hear that the firemen maybe break it's neck! Anyway. Just wanted to upload some photos and ended up in the middle of the night adding a whole paragraph to the article
Manual vacuum cleaner about the "Baby Daisy" (which is exposed in the Bakelite Museum too). Being no native speaker I hope I did not make too many mistakes there. Maybe you find the time to have a look...

I'm not a copyright expert, but I thought photographs of 2D works of art were not allowed until 75 years after the death of the artist. As no date is given for the picture I would be very careful. Why not ask the experts at
Commons:Village pump/Copyright?—

Yes, I think you're right. I just added a link to Bridgemanart where they sell prints of the painting. The painting is mirror reversed but people can get an idea of it anyway.

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Rosebud23! Your additions to
Bianca Modenese 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, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid
copyright and
plagiarism issues.
Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper
paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create
copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see
Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to
verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not
original research.
We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images.
Fair use images must meet all ten of the
non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the
public domain (PD) or under a
suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See
Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at
Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also
Help:Translation#License requirements.
It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be
blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. —
