Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to List of Fellows of the American Academy in Rome 1896–1970 may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "{}"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

Hello, I'm Oiyarbepsy. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added, because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. The only thing you have done with your edits is add links to your PDF file that is nothing more than an advertisement for your business. The fact that you've used more than one account to do this is plenty of grounds for a permanent ban. What's sad is that Dirsmith might even be appropriate material for an article, but I won't let you write it. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 03:52, 21 August 2014 (UTC)
Using on-topic material and the right type of sources[edit]
Mozza,
Your PDF file that you keep posting is not a useful link about history - it is nothing more than a promotional for a private company. As such, it is not appropriate for any page on Wikipedia. We are not for promotion.
The absence of a link from an irrelevant Wikipedia article does not make the Chicago Film Archives efforts a waste. And when you include a long copyright violation from them, we can't keep it even if we want to.
You will not post any links promoting Dirsmith Group or the Chicago Film Archives again on any page of any type on this site. If this happens, you will be banned. Clear? Oiyarbepsy (talk) 14:37, 21 August 2014 (UTC)

Ronald Dirsmith[edit]
The article that I deleted was a direct cut and paste of an article about Mr. Dirsmith from an Italian magazine. That's a copyright violation and isn't permitted here, see WP:COPYRIGHT. Feel free to write an article about Mr. Dirsmith in your own words, but please make sure it complies with our policies on sourcing (WP:V) and neutrality (WP:NPOV). Thanks, NawlinWiki (talk) 16:20, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
Dear NawlinWiki:
Thank you for the copyright info about the article from Villa Giardini and Elemond Spa in Milano. We are reading the rules and regulations to become more familiar with what is appropriate. We appreciate your help.
But please restore the page Ronald L. Dirsmith that somehow on 20 August, 2014 at 14:20 where you inadvertently erased the distinguished record and listing of Ronald L. Dirsmith, FAAR, NA, Fellow in Architecture at the American Academy in Rome, 1960 when you chose to delete the page, Ronald L. Dirsmith, from Wikipedia. Please restore the page and references in whatever form is appropriate. We will agree to post no notices or articles on this page as we work with you to resolve how to write and edit support articles for the not-for-profit cultural arts, research and film conservation organization, The Chicago Film Archives Collection. http://www.chicagofilmarchives.org/collections/index.php/Detail/Object/Show/object_id/5359[1]Mozza&pomo (talk) 22:19, 23 August 2014 (UTC)

Even the staff at the American Academy in Rome cannot figure out how you did this to their site.

- I have looked, and there is no version of the Dirsmith article in the article's history that is not a direct cut and paste from some other website. I can't restore any of those versions. Mr. Dirsmith does appear to be notable, but if you want an article about him, you need to write it yourself, following our guidelines. I'm not going to write it for you. NawlinWiki (talk) 20:05, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
- I have never edited the Fellows of the American Academy in Rome page, and Mr. Dirsmith is still listed there as an architecture fellow in 1960. His name is a redlink because there is no separate Wikipedia article on him -- because, as I explained, the only versions of Wikipedia articles about him here were copyright violations. I am not going to restore those, and we have nothing else valid that I can restore. It's not a "glitch". It is a deliberate decision to enforce our policy against using verbatim language from other sources. I will repeat what I said before: if you want there to be a Wikipedia article on Mr. Dirsmith, write one. NawlinWiki (talk) 00:36, 26 August 2014 (UTC)

October 2014[edit]
Your addition to Draft:The Dirsmith Group has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted text, or images borrowed from other websites, or printed material without a verifiable license; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Fiddle Faddle 19:49, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Mozza&pomo", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because One account = one edotor. Your iuse of "We" tells me that you are more than one editor using an account. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. Fiddle Faddle 19:50, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
Sockpuppet investigation[edit]
Hi. An editor has opened an investigation into sockpuppetry by you. Sockpuppetry is the use of more than one Wikipedia account in a manner that contravenes community policy. The investigation is being held at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Dirsmith, where the editor who opened the investigation has presented their evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, and then feel free to offer your own evidence or to submit comments that you wish to be considered by the Wikipedia administrator who decides the result of the investigation. If you have been using multiple accounts (in a manner contrary to Wikipedia policy), please go to the investigation page and verify that now. Leniency is usually shown to those who promise not to do so again, or who did so unwittingly, but the abuse of multiple accounts is taken very seriously by the Wikipedia community.
