  Welcome to Wikipedia. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Jewish Museum (New York), you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

  1. editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
  2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
  3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. Please see also WP:OWN, as this article does NOT belong to the museum. WuhWuzDat 20:21, 18 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

License tagging for File:NYJFF 2011.png

edit

Thanks for uploading File:NYJFF 2011.png. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 20:05, 27 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

Issue regarding the Jewish Museum photos

edit

Posted on the article talk page as well, but figured I should drop you a note as well. Note that most of those images (the photos of 3 dimensional objects (figurines, lamps etc.) are probably not actually public domain. Photos taken of 3 dimensional objects have a separate copyright on the photo itself. We would need some kind of copyright release from the museum in order to use most of those I believe. Are you in a position to obtain or provide such a permission? If so see here for details: Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. --Sherool (talk) 18:28, 13 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hi! I am so glad you wrote to me. I have a copyright release from the museum. How should I indicate it? --Wise web owl (talk) 18:46, 13 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hi, in that case send a copy of the release to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org (along with a note about what images it apply to). Then upload the images over on Commons (that way they can be used across all the other language Wikipedias as well, not just the English one) and stick a {{OTRS pending}} template on the images, as described at Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission#When permission is confirmed. --Sherool (talk) 18:58, 13 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Eshkol-Wachman Movement Notation, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Jewish Museum (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

ArbCom elections are now open!

edit

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
