Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Aida Tomescu has been reverted.
Your edit here to Aida Tomescu was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (https://vimeo.com/169042705, https://vimeo.com/169353358, https://vimeo.com/169353359, https://vimeo.com/169353360) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. a sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy, as well as other parts of our external links guideline. If the information you linked to is indeed in violation of copyright, then such information should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file, or consider linking to the original.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 05:48, 15 July 2016 (UTC)

August 2016[edit]
Please take this opportunity to be sure you understand our copyright policy and our policies regarding how to use non-free content. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page:
{{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 05:19, 17 August 2016 (UTC)Seeking clarification about 'ongoing copyright issues'... the references added were all from major newspapers, published books, state institutions and their official channels. One example, Tomescu's education is discussed in several major publications on Australian Art, two of which were supplied in the now deleted section. The entry as it stands provides no details about the artist's practice, so the (now removed) critical reception section was to give a brief insight into the artists' work using references from a national newspaper.

- Here you added "Tomescu studied at the Institute of Arts, Bucharest, was awarded a Diploma of Visual Arts in 1977 and shortly after her arrival to Australia completed a postgraduate degree at the City Art Institute in 1983."
- This ref says "She studied at the Institute of Arts, Bucharest, was awarded a Diploma of Visual Arts in 1977 and shortly after her arrival to Australia completed a postgraduate degree at the City Art Institute in 1983.

Request reason:
I now understand the reason I was blocked, reposting some copyrighted material without permission. The copyrighted material (a sentence) and my intended text share a common origin (the original text is from a webpage no longer online). I know now that only appropriately permissioned material can be reproduced in this way without paraphrasing. I ignored (missed) the warning out of unfamiliarity, being new to wikipedia. In terms of COI, I am an art historian and my goal is to improve the quality, depth and impartiality of some of my favourite artists' entries. If I regain access to my user page I will outline my background and qualifications to allow people a better basis to judge any bias. Art Resources (talk) 11:46, 17 August 2016 (UTC)

Hello, Art Resources. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:
- avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
- instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
- when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
- avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
- exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.
In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).
Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 13:52, 17 August 2016 (UTC)

In the future I will merely propose changes by using the request edit template on the Aida Tomescu talk page as you suggest.
My name is Adam Free, an art historian, formerly:
Curator of European Paintings & Sculptures at the Art Gallery of South Australia; Curator, Kaldor Public Art Projects, Sydney; Project Development Curator, Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney; Manager, Paintings Department, Sotheby’s Australia; Paintings specialist, Paintings Department, Sotheby’s Australia;
Education qualifications include an MA, Renaissance Art & Grad Dip (Art History), Courtauld Institute of Art, London; BA, University of Sydney.
I have met the subject of this article, Aida Tomescu, but otherwise have no particular association with her. However the next entry to which I would like to suggest additions is Margel Hinder, who (COI) my mother once wrote a book about. I will code the appropriate WP:DISCLOSE and propose changes only by using the request edit template on the Margel Hinder talk page. Art Resources (talk) 02:56, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
