ArchiveBertheWeill

Good afternoon,

With Berthe Weill’s copyright holders, I created the Berthe Weill Estate to protect her moral property. Several references you wrote are based on false information. To meet the requirements of Wikipedia, they must be replaced by verified informations as those appearing in my biography of Berthe Weill, which is the only existing book on the subject. I am a doctoral student in art history at the Sorbonne in Paris, a Museums and Institutions Professional and the owner of www.bertheweill.com. My book has been positively welcomed by art press critics, best specialists of Modern Art and by the descendants (of the artists exhibited in Galerie B.Weill and of Berthe Weill, the both).

I am the author of the only existing biography of Berthe Weill and must explicitly cite the source of information when they are from my work. I added footnotes on each reference directly related to my research. It’s logical that my book is the most cited in the wikipedia page since there is no other book about Berthe Weill.

The publication of illustrations from the archives of the Berthe Weill Estate is prohibited without prior agreement of the copyright holders. We disagree with the display on wikipedia of illustrations that belong to the Berthe Weill Estate. Berthe Weill is protected by copyright (she died in 1951), the link to the official Berthe Weill Estate must be displayed on the wikipedia page.

The wikipedia page should not refer to the republication by Pierre Sanchez of Berthe Weill autobiography (first edited in 1933). He published her autobiography without the permission of the copyright holders which is illegal. If you quote Berthe Weill autobiography, mention the original edition published in 1933. Moreover, if you quote the repertoire of exhibitions of Pierre Sanchez, you should refer to the repertoire of exhibitions that appears at the end of my book which is more detailed.

Sincerely,

Bonjour,

Merci de cesser de vandaliser l'article anglophone relatif à Berthe Weill.

L'article francophone relatif à Berthe Weill que vous avez rédigé est exclusivement tourné vers la vente de votre livre, qui a le mérite d'exister mais n'a pas encore à ce jour reçu un accueil favorable des milieux scientifiques et universitaires. Cet article francophone est publicitaire, non encyclopédique. C'est de l'auto promotion.

L'article anglophone rédigé par nous et consacré à Berthe Weill est un article qui correspond au cahier des charges de Wikipedia ; il donne en bibliographie des ouvrages faisant autorité, rédigés par des professionnels et universitaires de haut niveau (Michael Fitzgerald, Pierre Sanchez,...).

Vous avez essayé de publier dans le Wikipedia anglophone un article sur Berthe Weill traduit de votre article francophone. Votre article anglophone a été rejeté par Wikipedia anglophone car il ne satisfaisait pas aux normes encyclopédiques, étant purement publicitaire et hagiographique.

L'article soumis par nous a été accepté car il correspond au cahier des charges de Wikipedia. Il est neutre, impartial et rigoureux scientifiquement.

Dans le Wikipedia francophone, les normes sont manifestement moins sévères que dans le Wikipedia anglophone, ce qui explique que votre articla n'a pas été rejeté.

Maintenant, vous n'avez de cesse de vandaliser l'article anglophone sur Berthe Weill ; vous éliminez les références bibliographiques sérieuses (Michael Fitzgerald, Pierre Sanchez,...) pour les remplacer par une seule référence : le livre francophone écrit par vous.

Nous vous demandons de cesser immédiatement ce vandalisme.
